Relaxation Spa Package in Phnom Penh

Phnom Penh can be a hot, noisy, dusty place to explore. Bodia Spa’s three-hour Relaxation Package gives you a quiet reset with a full-body massage, body scrub, and facial treatment, all at its Riverside location. The treatment uses traditional techniques and local ingredients, with a feet cleansing ritual to start.

I like the generous treatment time and the fact that the session covers more than massage alone. I also like the small comfort touches, including a cold towel, tea or coffee, and a private setting for your own group. Therapists praised by name include Soth Sin, Om Kimheng, Ngeb Mai, Morng, and Om.

The main consideration is the price: $72 per person is not a budget massage in Phnom Penh. You are paying for three hours and several treatments in a polished spa, so this makes the most sense when you want a full wellness break rather than a quick foot massage.

Key points to know before booking

• Three treatments in one visit: The package includes a full-body massage, body scrub, and facial treatment.
• A calm break near the Riverside: The spa is at Street 178 and Samdach Sothearos Boulevard, near public transportation.
• Private treatment setting: Only your group participates, which works well for couples, families, or friends.
• A thoughtful welcome: Feet cleansing, a cold towel, and coffee or tea are included.
• Named therapists earn strong praise: Soth Sin, Om Kimheng, Ngeb Mai, Morng, and Om are among the staff singled out for professional care.
• Book ahead: The average booking time is 17 days in advance, a useful sign that preferred appointment times may fill.

Starting at Bodia Spa Riverside

Your visit begins at Bodia Spa Riverside, at Street 178 and the corner of Samdach Sothearos Boulevard in Phnom Penh. The activity ends at this same location, and private transportation is not included, so you need to arrange your own way there and back.

The spa is near public transportation, which helps if you are staying elsewhere in the city. You can also plan the appointment around sightseeing in the Riverside area, though the three-hour duration means this is not a quick stop to squeeze between two tightly timed attractions.

Opening hours are listed as 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM every day. That gives you useful flexibility. A morning appointment can start your sightseeing day gently, while an evening booking can help ease the effects of walking around Phnom Penh in the heat.

I would allow extra time before the appointment. Arriving unhurried matters here, since the experience is designed as a gradual wind-down rather than a fast treatment with people rushing in and out.

Feet cleansing and the first quiet moments

The included feet cleansing helps mark the change from city time to spa time. You begin with your feet attended to before the main treatments, a simple detail that makes the session feel more considered than a standard massage appointment.

A cold towel is also included. In Phnom Penh’s warm climate, this is more than decoration. It gives you a quick, refreshing pause before settling into the longer treatment.

Coffee and tea are included as well. The information provided does not specify which drink options are available, so think of this as a modest refreshment rather than a meal or full hospitality service. You should eat beforehand if you know you will want something substantial during a three-hour appointment.

The opening ritual is especially useful if you have just arrived from a day of museums, markets, or city walks. It creates a clear break before the massage begins.

The massage: traditional techniques and a long, unhurried pace

The central part of the package is a soothing full-body massage. The treatment description points to traditional techniques passed down through generations, while the package information calls it a full-body massage intended to ease tension.

The exact massage style, pressure, and oil or aroma choices are not specified in the details provided. If you have a preference, tell the spa before treatment begins. A good massage is personal, and clear communication about pressure or sore areas can make a major difference.

The long appointment is the key advantage. You are not trying to squeeze relaxation into a 30- or 60-minute slot. A full three-hour package gives the therapist time to work through the massage and then move on to the skin treatments without making the whole visit feel hurried.

Several therapists receive especially warm praise in the available feedback. Soth Sin is singled out for making one client feel well cared for. Om Kimheng is praised for a relaxing experience from beginning to end, and Ngeb Mai is described as delivering a beautiful treatment package. Morng and Om are also noted for professional and passionate service.

Those names can be useful when you contact the spa, but you should not assume a particular therapist is guaranteed unless the spa confirms it. Staff availability can change.

The body scrub with local ingredients

After the massage, the package continues with a body scrub. The treatment description says the scrub uses local ingredients to exfoliate and renew the skin. One account of a related treatment mentions a salt scrub, so you might find that salt-based products are part of the spa’s treatment style, but the exact product for your booking is not stated.

A body scrub is a different experience from massage. Instead of working primarily on muscle tension, it focuses on exfoliation and the feel of the skin. It can be a pleasant choice after long days outside, especially if heat and dust have left you feeling less than fresh.

The practical point is that a scrub requires you to be comfortable with a treatment that focuses on the skin, not just pressure and muscle work. If you have sensitive skin or a product concern, ask what will be used before the treatment starts.

One related account describes a massage, body scrub, shower, and oil as part of a two-hour Silk and Cocoon treatment. That is not necessarily the same as this package, so do not assume every element from that treatment is included here. The confirmed package includes the body scrub, but does not specifically promise a shower or oil application.

That distinction matters when comparing spa packages. At $72, you are paying for the full combination of treatments listed, not for every service mentioned in a different package.

Facial treatment to finish the visit

The final part is a facial treatment, described in the package as a luxurious facial scrub tailored to help bring out your natural radiance. The wider package description also calls it a rejuvenating facial massage.

One account of the 180-minute Relaxation package mentions a vitamin facial, while another simply refers to a facial. The exact facial products and steps may vary, so ask the spa if you need to know whether your treatment includes a particular product or technique.

The facial makes the package feel more complete than a body-only session. After a massage and scrub, finishing with focused attention on the face gives you a head-to-toe treatment rather than one long block of muscle work.

I would schedule this at a point in your trip when you do not need to rush immediately into a formal activity. Facial products can leave your skin feeling treated and refreshed, but you may prefer a little time afterward before taking photos, putting on makeup, or heading into a busy evening.

How private treatment changes the experience

This is a private activity. Only your group participates, which is a major advantage for couples, families, and friends who want to share the appointment without being placed in a room with strangers.

The package is promoted for individuals and families alike. You can book it alone if you want quiet time, or use it as a shared wellness outing. The information does not specify the exact room layout or whether couples receive treatments side by side, so ask Bodia Spa directly if that detail is important to you.

Privacy also makes it easier to speak openly about pressure, comfort, and treatment preferences. That matters more during a three-hour session than during a short massage.

At the same time, a private activity is not the same as a private vehicle or hotel pickup. Transportation is not included, and you are responsible for reaching the Riverside spa.

Is $72 a good value in Phnom Penh?

At $72 per person, the package sits above the cost of a simple local massage. That comparison is fair, but incomplete. You are receiving about three hours of treatment, including massage, body scrub, and facial care, plus feet cleansing, a cold towel, and tea or coffee.

I see the value in the time. If you booked each treatment separately, the cost could add up, and you would lose the smooth flow from one treatment to the next. The package also gives you a polished setting and a private experience, features that matter if you want a dependable spa break during a special trip.

The value is weaker if you only want a quick massage or if you are mainly seeking the lowest possible price. Phnom Penh offers simpler treatments at lower rates, but this package is aimed at visitors who want comfort, several services, and a long period away from the city noise.

The package is often booked 17 days ahead on average. That does not guarantee that every date fills early, but it is a good reason to reserve before arriving, particularly if you need an evening time or want to coordinate several people.

Who will enjoy this package most?

I would recommend it for:

• Couples wanting a private shared spa experience
• Families looking for a calm activity that does not involve more sightseeing
• Solo visitors who want a long recovery break after busy days
• First-time spa customers who prefer one bundled appointment
• People who enjoy both massage and skin treatments
• Visitors staying near the Riverside or using nearby public transportation

It may be less suitable if you dislike extended treatments, have strong concerns about body scrubs or facial products, or only have a small gap in your schedule. Three hours is a real block of time, not a quick add-on.

Most people can participate, according to the activity information. Still, if you have a medical concern, skin sensitivity, or a specific physical limitation, contact the spa before booking so you can confirm that the treatments are appropriate.

Timing, cancellation, and practical planning

The spa is open daily from 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM. You receive confirmation at the time of booking, and the experience uses a mobile ticket, so keep the booking available on your phone.

Free cancellation is available if you cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled start time. Cancellations made less than 24 hours ahead are not refunded, and changes inside that period are not accepted. The cut-off follows Phnom Penh local time.

Because the appointment is private and relatively long, punctuality is especially important. A late arrival could reduce your treatment time, although the exact late-arrival policy is not provided.

Plan your transport carefully. The activity starts and ends at Bodia Spa Riverside, and no private transfer is included. The location is near public transportation, but the information does not specify a hotel pickup service.

The strongest part of the experience

The best feature is the combination of time and variety. The massage handles tension, the scrub refreshes the skin, and the facial brings the treatment up to the face and head. You get a real pause rather than a short service that ends just as you begin to relax.

The second strength is the staff attention reflected in the named praise for therapists such as Soth Sin, Om Kimheng, and Ngeb Mai. You should not expect a specific therapist without confirmation, but the repeated focus on professional, caring service is encouraging.

The possible weak point is simply the price and time commitment. This is not the choice for a traveler counting every dollar or racing through a one-day Phnom Penh schedule.

Should you book the Bodia Spa Relaxation Package?

Book it if you want a private, three-hour wellness break and can comfortably spend $72. The massage, body scrub, and facial treatment make it a fuller experience than a basic massage, while the feet cleansing, cold towel, and drink add a pleasant sense of care.

I would reserve ahead, especially for a preferred evening appointment or a group booking. Confirm any questions about the therapist, facial products, scrub ingredients, and treatment room arrangement before paying.

Skip it if your priority is the cheapest massage in Phnom Penh or if three hours feels too long. For everyone else, this is a sensible way to trade one afternoon or evening of sightseeing for a calm, polished reset near the Riverside.
