The best thing about this three-hour Phnom Penh spa package is its steady rhythm. You begin with a welcoming foot cleanse, move into a traditional full-body massage, then finish with body and facial treatments. It is a useful break from city heat, traffic, and sightseeing.

I like the private format, since only your group takes part. I also like the small touches, including tea or coffee, a cold towel, and the foot cleansing at the start. The one thing to consider is the price: at $72 per person, it is not a bargain basement massage, though the long session and several treatments make it easier to justify.

Key points to know before booking

Relaxation Spa Package in Phnom Penh - Key points to know before booking

  • Three treatments in one visit: The package combines massage, body scrub, and facial care rather than offering only a short massage.
  • A calm start: Foot cleansing, a cold towel, and tea or coffee help you settle in before the main treatment.
  • Private for your group: You do not join a mixed public group, making this a better fit for couples, families, or friends.
  • Convenient Riverside location: Bodia Spa is at Street 178 and Samdach Sothearos Boulevard, close to public transportation.
  • Strong customer satisfaction: The experience has a 4.9 rating from 19 reviews, with 100 percent recommending it.
  • Book ahead: It is booked an average of 17 days in advance, especially useful if your Phnom Penh schedule is tight.

A three-hour reset near Phnom Penh’s Riverside

Relaxation Spa Package in Phnom Penh - A three-hour reset near Phnom Penh’s Riverside

Bodia Spa’s Relaxation Package is designed as a long, unhurried treatment rather than a quick stop between sightseeing plans. You spend about three hours at the Riverside branch, with the session built around massage, exfoliation, and facial care.

That length matters. A one-hour massage can loosen a few tight muscles, but it often ends just as you begin to settle. Here, the extended appointment gives you time to relax before moving into the next treatment. You are not simply paying for a longer massage. You are paying for a sequence of services that works from feet to face.

The spa is open daily from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. That broad schedule gives you useful choices. You can book before a late lunch, after a morning at the Royal Palace area, or near the end of the day when your legs and back have had enough of Phnom Penh.

The setting is described as peaceful and connected to Cambodian tradition. That does not mean this is a museum-style cultural program. The cultural element comes through the treatment style, local ingredients, and traditional techniques rather than through a formal talk or guided presentation.

Starting with feet, tea, and a cold towel

Relaxation Spa Package in Phnom Penh - Starting with feet, tea, and a cold towel

The session begins with feet cleansing, a small step that sets the tone. After walking on hot pavement or riding around the city, having your feet cleaned before a spa treatment feels practical, not merely decorative.

Tea or coffee and a cold towel are included. In Phnom Penh’s warm climate, the cold towel can be especially welcome when you arrive from outside. The drink also gives you a short pause before the treatment starts.

The opening routine is one of the package’s more thoughtful details. It creates a clear break between sightseeing and spa time. You are not rushed straight from the street into a treatment room with your mind still on traffic, temple visits, or dinner plans.

The available information does not specify the exact tea, coffee, aroma choices, or room layout for every appointment. You should treat those details as possible variations rather than fixed promises. The important point is that the package includes a welcome routine before the three main treatments.

The massage is the main anchor

Relaxation Spa Package in Phnom Penh - The massage is the main anchor

The massage comes first as the central part of the experience. The package uses traditional techniques passed down through generations and is described as a full-body relaxation treatment. The goal is to ease tension rather than provide medical therapy.

That distinction is worth keeping clear. If you have a particular injury, chronic condition, or serious pain, speak with the spa before booking. The available information says the establishment assesses ailments and needs before treatment, but this package should not be treated as a substitute for medical care.

Past appointments have singled out therapists including Soth Sin, Om Kimheng, Morng, Om, Ngeb Mai, and Srey Kat. These individual names can help you understand the level of personal attention associated with the spa, but you should not assume a particular therapist will be available unless the spa confirms it directly.

You can expect the massage to take place before the scrub and facial work. That order makes sense. First, the body has time to relax. Then the exfoliation and facial treatment can feel like a finishing stage rather than an interruption.

For a couple, the massage portion may be the most valuable part of the booking. For a family, the package offers a shared wellness activity, though the exact room arrangement and treatment setup are not specified. If you are booking for several people, confirm the practical details in advance.

Body scrub with local ingredients

Relaxation Spa Package in Phnom Penh - Body scrub with local ingredients

The body scrub is the package’s renewal step. It uses local ingredients to exfoliate the skin and remove dry surface cells. Past experiences at the spa have included a salt scrub, though the exact product can vary.

A scrub is more active than a massage, so it may not suit every skin type. If you have sensitive skin or a reaction to particular products, tell the spa before treatment begins. The listing does not promise a choice of scrub ingredients, so you should ask what will be used if that matters to you.

The scrub also changes the pace of the appointment. After the slower massage, it gives the session a more practical, cleansing feel. You are not lying still for three hours while the same technique continues. Each stage has a different purpose.

One past appointment involving a different Silk and Cocoon treatment included a body scrub and shower. Do not assume a shower is part of this exact Relaxation Package, since it is not listed among the inclusions. If rinsing after the scrub is important to you, ask the spa before arrival.

Facial care to finish the treatment

Relaxation Spa Package in Phnom Penh - Facial care to finish the treatment

The final stage is facial care, described as a facial scrub or facial massage designed to support a fresher appearance. One reported package experience included a vitamin facial, but product names and steps may vary.

This is a useful ending because it shifts attention from the larger muscles of the back, shoulders, and legs to the face and head. You finish with a treatment that feels lighter and more precise.

The facial portion also helps explain the package’s value compared with a standard massage. You are receiving body care from head to toe, not simply adding extra minutes to one service.

Still, you should keep expectations sensible. The treatment is intended for relaxation and cosmetic refreshment. It is not described as a medical facial, dermatological procedure, or intensive skin treatment.

How the $72 price holds up

Relaxation Spa Package in Phnom Penh - How the $72 price holds up

At $72 per person, this is a mid-range to upscale spa experience in Phnom Penh. The price includes about three hours of treatment, feet cleansing, tea or coffee, and a cold towel. Private participation adds value, especially if you are booking with a partner or family group.

I would compare it with the cost of separate services before deciding. A massage, body scrub, and facial booked individually could take similar time and may cost more, though the available details do not provide separate menu prices. The package gives you one simple reservation and one continuous appointment.

The value is strongest when you want a proper rest day or a polished spa experience rather than the cheapest local massage. It is less compelling if you only want basic muscle relief for an hour.

You also need to account for transportation. Private transport is not included. The spa is near public transportation, and the activity starts and ends at Bodia Spa Riverside, at Street 178 and Samdach Sothearos Boulevard. That makes the location reasonably easy to build into a Phnom Penh day, but you still arrange your own way there and back.

Who will get the most from this package

Relaxation Spa Package in Phnom Penh - Who will get the most from this package

This experience suits several types of visitors:

  • Couples: The private format allows you to book a shared treatment without joining strangers.
  • Families: The package is specifically presented as suitable for families, though you should confirm room arrangements and treatment details for children.
  • First-time visitors to Phnom Penh: It offers a gentle introduction to Cambodian spa traditions without requiring a full-day commitment.
  • People arriving after a long journey: The foot cleansing, massage, scrub, and facial provide a clear recovery period.
  • Sightseeing-heavy visitors: A late afternoon or evening booking can give tired legs and shoulders a needed break.
  • Spa regulars: The long format adds several treatments in one visit and allows you to compare the experience with other Bodia packages.

It may be less suitable if you dislike body scrubs, have sensitive skin, or want a highly specific medical massage. The treatment is also not the right choice if you need airport transfer or hotel pickup, since transportation is excluded.

Timing your visit in Phnom Penh

Relaxation Spa Package in Phnom Penh - Timing your visit in Phnom Penh

The spa operates every day from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. A morning appointment leaves the rest of your day open, while an evening booking can work well after sightseeing.

Because the treatment lasts about three hours, avoid squeezing it between two fixed plans. Add time for getting to the Riverside location, checking in, and returning to your hotel. A late appointment may also affect dinner plans, depending on your start time.

The experience is booked an average of 17 days ahead. That figure suggests you should reserve early if you want a specific day, especially during a short Phnom Penh stay. You can receive confirmation at the time of booking, which is helpful when you are arranging several activities around one another.

The mobile ticket is convenient. Keep it available on your phone when you arrive, and make sure your booking time is based on Phnom Penh local time.

What the strong satisfaction score tells you

The package has a 4.9 rating from 19 reviews, with 100 percent recommending it. The most consistent praise focuses on three areas: professional therapists, careful service from arrival through treatment, and the feeling of complete relaxation.

Individual therapists named in past feedback include Soth Sin, Om Kimheng, Morng, Om, Ngeb Mai, and Srey Kat. Several appointments describe therapists as attentive and professional, while one highlights the foot wash and scrub as a particularly pleasant beginning.

That level of personal care is important in a spa. A beautiful room alone does not make a good treatment. You want clear attention to your needs, a calm pace, and staff who do not make you feel rushed.

At the same time, 19 ratings are a small sample. The score is encouraging, but it cannot guarantee that every appointment will feel identical. Your therapist, preferred pressure, skin sensitivity, and expectations will shape the result.

Practical booking advice

Book at least several days ahead if your dates are limited. The average advance booking period is 17 days, so last-minute availability should not be assumed.

When booking, pay attention to the start time and group size. The activity is private for your group, but the package price is charged per person. If you are arranging a couple or family visit, make sure every participant is included in the reservation.

Tell the spa about any relevant ailments, allergies, or skin concerns before treatment begins. The spa is described as assessing needs before starting, and that conversation is your chance to request appropriate pressure or ask about scrub ingredients.

Free cancellation is available if you cancel at least 24 hours before the start time. Cancellations or changes made less than 24 hours ahead are not accepted for a refund. That policy is generous enough for normal schedule changes, but it still requires attention if your Phnom Penh plans are uncertain.

Should you book the Bodia Spa Relaxation Package?

I would book this if you want three hours of organized pampering in a private setting and value more than a basic massage. The combination of traditional massage, body scrub, facial care, foot cleansing, and small welcome touches gives the appointment a clear beginning, middle, and end.

The $72 price is fair for the amount of time and the number of treatments, though budget-minded visitors may prefer a shorter local massage. I would also confirm the exact scrub and facial products if you have sensitive skin.

For couples, families, and anyone who wants a calm break from Phnom Penh’s streets, this is a strong choice. Book ahead, arrange your own transport, and leave enough space around the three-hour appointment so you can enjoy it without watching the clock.
