Relaxation Spa Package in Phnom Penh
Book on Viator →Operated by Bodia Spa Phnom Penh (Riverside) · Bookable on Viator
Your body needs a reset in Phnom Penh.
This 3-hour Relaxation Package is built like a full treatment circuit: you start with a soothing full-body massage, then move into an exfoliating body scrub, and finish with a facial massage to leave you feeling smoother and calmer. I love the peaceful, well-designed spa atmosphere, and I also like that the therapists take time to assess your needs before they start working on you. One consideration: private transportation isn’t included, so plan how you’ll get there from your hotel.
Bodia Spa Riverside is on the riverfront, and the session is designed to feel self-contained—coffee or tea, a cold towel, and even a feet cleansing step are part of the package. You’ll get a mobile ticket, and the activity ends back at the meeting point, so it’s easy to fold into a day of sightseeing without turning it into a whole production.

Key things to love about Bodia Spa’s 3-hour Relaxation Package

- Feet cleansing and cold towel right up front, so you start relaxed, not rushed
- A therapist-led needs assessment before massage, which helps the work feel more targeted
- Full-body massage plus facial massage, not just a single quick service
- Body scrub for exfoliation, using local-leaning ingredients for a renewal feel
- Spa calm you can actually feel while you’re there (people describe it as peaceful and first-class)
- Named therapists show up in feedback, like Soth Sin, Om Kimheng, Morng, and Ngeb Mai
Where Bodia Spa Riverside is and how to fit it into your day

This package runs out of Bodia Spa Riverside, at Street 178 corner of Samdach Sothearos Blvd (3). The big advantage is that you’re in a part of Phnom Penh where you can usually reach by tuk-tuk, taxi, or other local transport without too much stress.
The session itself lasts about 3 hours, and it ends back at the same meeting point. That sounds basic, but it matters: you don’t need to plan a second pickup or worry about getting “stuck” across town afterward. It’s also offered daily from 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM, which helps if your sightseeing day runs long.
Price is $72 per person, and the listing notes it’s commonly booked about 17 days in advance. If your trip dates are tight or you’re going at a popular time of day (late afternoon and early evening often make sense for a post-walking reset), booking ahead is the smart move.

How the 3-hour treatment actually flows

The Relaxation Package is designed as a smooth sequence. Here’s the practical way to think about it: you’re not doing three separate appointments. You’re doing one continuous session where the next step builds on the last.
While the exact minute-by-minute schedule isn’t spelled out, the package is clearly set up around these included parts:
- Full-body massage
- Body scrub
- Facial massage
Plus supporting touches: cold towel, feet cleansing, and coffee and/or tea.
Expect a place to change out of your street clothes (you might find your treatment starts after you’re settled). Then you’ll likely get a quick check-in on what you want help with—reviews specifically mention proper assessment of ailments and needs before starting. That’s useful because a great massage is less about speed and more about getting the pressure right for your body.
Step 1: Feet cleansing and the calm start

Most people feel the first step instantly. The package includes feet cleansing, and you also get a cold towel as part of the welcome. That combo does two things for you:
- It helps you switch from travel mode to spa mode.
- It can make your body feel lighter even before the main massage begins.
In feedback, people describe the moment as a genuine retreat from Phnom Penh’s movement outside. If you’re the type who needs a transition ritual, this is a good package. If you’re in a hurry, try not to book right after a chaotic day—give yourself time to slow down.
Step 2: Full-body massage that’s meant to match your needs

The heart of the package is the soothing full-body massage. The goal is tension relief using traditional techniques passed down through generations (that’s the intent stated for the experience). In plain terms, you’re paying for skilled hands and the time it takes to work through your whole body.
One detail worth caring about: feedback notes that the therapists do a proper assessment of ailments and needs before starting. Translation: you shouldn’t feel like you’re just another booking number. If your shoulders are tight, your lower back is cranky, or you’ve got travel stiffness, this kind of check-in helps the massage feel more personal.
People also name therapists for being especially attentive. Names that come up include Soth Sin, Om Kimheng, Morng, and Ngeb Mai. I can’t guarantee who you’ll get, but the fact that multiple staff names are praised is a good sign that quality isn’t locked to only one person.
A practical tip
If you have one or two specific trouble spots, tell your therapist early. You’ll get more out of a full-body session when you guide it, even lightly.
Step 3: Body scrub for exfoliation and that fresh-feeling finish

After the massage comes the body scrub, described as using local ingredients and designed to exfoliate and renew your skin. That’s more than a cosmetic step. A good scrub often changes how you feel immediately because it can leave your skin feeling smoother and your body feeling “reset” after being worked and warmed.
This is also a step that can make your skin feel more comfortable afterward—especially if you’ve been in heat, sweating, or living in sunscreen for days.
One thing to keep in mind: scrub steps can mean more water and getting washed before moving on. Don’t schedule this right after anything where you’ll need to look perfect instantly. Give yourself a little buffer. The payoff is how you feel after, not how you look in the first five minutes.
Step 4: Facial massage for radiance, not just a quick touch

The package includes a facial massage / facial scrub treatment as the final phase. The stated benefit is tailored care to enhance natural radiance. In practice, this is where the whole session clicks together: your body is relaxed from the massage, your skin feels refreshed from the scrub, and the facial step is the finishing touch that makes it feel complete rather than half-done.
If you’ve ever left a spa feeling relaxed but still kind of dull on your face, this is the difference-maker. Multiple pieces of feedback specifically mention enjoying the full package, with massage, scrub, and facial treated as one coherent experience.
Some reviews also mention choosing an aroma during the process. That kind of sensory touch matters because it keeps the session from feeling purely mechanical. Even if your aroma experience differs slightly, the overall flow is designed to stay soothing.
Price, value, and what makes it feel worth $72

At $72 per person for about 3 hours, the value comes from two areas:
1) You’re paying for multiple treatment types, not a single service.
This package isn’t just a massage. You’re also getting a scrub and facial massage, plus the included add-ons like tea/coffee, cold towel, and feet cleansing.
2) It’s structured like a real spa circuit.
When a place includes multiple steps and keeps the time together, you usually get better continuity. You’re not waiting between appointments. The therapist can flow from massage work into exfoliation and then finish with facial care.
What’s not included is private transportation. That doesn’t hurt the value of the spa itself, but it does mean your total trip cost depends on how you’re getting there. If your hotel is far, factor in transport. If you’re already near the Riverside area, you’ll likely feel this is a very efficient use of time.
Booking, timing, and practical logistics (the stuff that saves headaches)

A few details that help you plan smoothly:
- It’s a private tour/activity, so only your group participates. That matters for couples, families, or anyone who wants less “waiting around” and more calm focus.
- You’ll need a mobile ticket (so have it accessible on your phone).
- The meeting point is Bodia Spa Riverside, and the activity ends back there.
- The spa runs 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM daily.
One more timing note: since the package is commonly booked about 17 days in advance, treat that as a hint. If you want an earlier slot or you’re traveling in busy season, book ahead so you’re not negotiating with limited availability.
Who this spa package suits best
This is a strong fit if you want a focused reset without overthinking it.
I’d especially recommend it if:
- You’re in Phnom Penh for a few days and your schedule includes lots of walking or heat exposure.
- You want both body and face care in one session.
- You’re traveling with someone you can enjoy a shared “slow time” moment with (couples experiences show up in feedback).
- You care about getting a therapist who starts by checking your needs, not just going through motions.
If you’re the type who hates any exfoliation step, you might want to ask before booking. The package clearly includes a scrub, so this isn’t a zero-touch facial-only experience.
What to keep in mind before you go
A good spa day is part service and part your expectations.
- Transportation is on you. Private transport isn’t included, so plan your ride.
- It’s a 3-hour session. Treat it like a half-day activity, even if it’s just one location.
- You should expect water and washing steps. Scrub services typically come with cleansing time.
- You’ll likely be guided through your needs. Feedback highlights that an assessment happens before starting massage, which is a big quality signal.
If you want to maximize comfort, go a little earlier than you think you need and let the staff guide you. This isn’t the kind of experience where showing up stressed helps.
Should you book the Relaxation Spa Package at Bodia Spa Riverside?
I’d book it if you want a complete 3-hour circuit—massage, scrub, and facial—at a predictable price, with the kind of calm atmosphere that multiple people describe as genuinely peaceful and first-class. The included extras (feet cleansing, cold towel, tea/coffee) make it feel like a true spa visit instead of a stripped-down service.
Skip it only if you know you don’t want exfoliation or you strongly prefer a short single-service option. And don’t forget transport: since private rides aren’t included, build that into your day so the experience stays relaxing from start to finish.
