overview
Hariharalaya is a place to learn, grow and be inspired by developing yoga and meditation practice within a community of like-minded people while living in a traditional Cambodian village. The centre is spread over two acres of jungle gardens in the shade of the Ancient Temples of Angkor.
Hariharalaya’s retreat puts emphasis on community, creativity, health, and, of course, yoga and meditation. After a week of living in this rural Cambodian village, you will leave feeling not only at peace with yourself but more in tune with the natural world. Put your mind at ease with the daily meditation practices, digital detox and silent mornings, and learn to listen to your body through the healing art of yoga. The healthy vegan diet and variety of spa treatments heal the body and lighten the soul, and nothing could round this retreat off better than a relaxed bike ride through the local village, where you can experience real Cambodia like never before.The resort observes a Digital Detox as well as Silent Mornings throughout the course. This encourages us to listen more deeply to life and live in the present moment.

Planning a retreat with friends? Book into the six-bed dormitory, a large, friendly space for the more social butterflies. Want a bit more privacy? The twin huts offer a more personal space shared with one other guest. The open-air bungalows are perfect for the more adventurous types out there: fall asleep to the sounds of the night, and wake up to fresh morning breezes every day. Private rooms are available as well with two singles or one double bed, and nothing is more cosy or romantic than the bamboo retreat hut, with its perfect couple getaway feel.
At Hariharalaya, food is a way of participating in the great Cycle of Life. Hariharalaya’s colourful, seasonal vegan ingredients lend themselves beautifully to Cambodian cuisine, and the nutritious fruity breakfasts and afternoon and daily meals packed with a healthy dose of local vegetables and optimal carbohydrates (brown rice and rice pasta among them) will leave your body feeling stronger and more balanced.
Guests also get to take the delicious vegan meals at Hariharalaya home with them, in the form of a free electronic copy of our own cookbook – Hariharalaya: Cooking with Consciousness. With over 90 of our favourite Cambodian and International vegan recipes including high-quality colour photos, it is the perfect way to continue the health kick back home.
Sample menu:
Breakfast: fresh fruit (mango, pineapple, watermelon, dragonfruit), stir-fried vegetable noodles, Khmer rice porridge, waffle bar, and the smoothie of the day.

location
Prasat Bakong (Temple), NR6, Krong Siem Reap 17000, Cambodia
Part of the magic of Hariharalaya is the opportunity to live in a traditional Cambodian farming village. Located 16 kilometers from Siem Reap, the villagers of Bakong still live a traditional lifestyle – farming with cows, living simply, walking and riding bicycles to the market. The Local Market (Psaa Rolou), just a 5 minute walk away, dates back over 150 years and remains the central market for over 50 surrounding villages.
