Your back will thank you in Phnom Penh. This 3-hour Relaxation Package at Bodia Spa Riverside combines a full-body massage, body scrub, and facial treatment in one timed visit. I love the therapist-style assessment of your needs before anything starts, and I love the immediate comfort touches like cold towel and feet cleansing right at the beginning.

The spa flow is also praised for being organized and calm, and you’ll hear names like Soth Sin, Om Kimheng, Morng, Om, Ngeb Mai, and Ngot-Srey Kat come up in people’s reports. One consideration: private transportation isn’t included, so you’ll want to plan how you’re getting to Street 178 near Samdach Sothearos Blvd (3).

Key takeaways before you book

• 3 hours, 3 steps: massage, body scrub, and facial care in one appointment
• Needs check first: you get a proper look at what to focus on
• Comfort extras included: coffee/tea, cold towel, and feet cleansing
• Well-loved therapists: multiple staff names are singled out for excellent work
• Private for your group: only your party participates
• Popular timing: it’s commonly booked about 17 days ahead, so lock it in early if your schedule is tight

A 3-hour reset on Phnom Penh’s Riverside

If Phnom Penh is starting to feel like nonstop motorbikes, humidity, and walking, this is a clean way to hit the pause button. The point of Bodia Spa’s Relaxation Package is simple: you get a full sequence of body care without having to coordinate anything yourself.

This is at Bodia Spa Riverside, meeting at Street 178, corner Samdach Sothearos Blvd (3). The spa hours run daily from 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM, which is handy if you want to schedule it after sightseeing and dinner plans.

Price and what you’re actually paying for at $72

At $72 per person for roughly 3 hours, the value comes from the fact that this isn’t just a single massage. You’re paying for a full “treatment run” that includes massage plus exfoliation work plus facial care—so your appointment feels like a complete reset, not a one-off shoulder rub.

You also get practical extras that make a difference when you’re traveling: coffee and/or tea, a cold towel, and feet cleansing. Those are small items, but they help you transition from outside heat and street noise into spa mode.

Meeting at Bodia Spa Riverside: easy start, clear plan

When you arrive at Bodia Spa Riverside, the experience is built to get you comfortable quickly. People describe the welcome as thoughtful, including that foot wash or feet cleansing part and a chance to choose an aroma before treatment begins.

This helps you in two ways:

• You’re not stuck waiting around wondering what happens next.
• You can mentally shift gears fast, which matters when your body is tired and your mind is still “on.”

Because this is a private tour/activity limited to your group, you won’t be sharing the treatment time with strangers. That’s a nice benefit if you’re coming as a couple, a friend group, or with family.

Full-body massage: the part people remember

The center of the package is the soothing full-body massage. What I like about this step is that the staff doesn’t treat everyone the same way. Multiple reports mention a proper assessment of ailments and needs before massage starts, so the therapist can adjust focus areas.

You may also notice the emphasis on technique and comfort rather than performance. One detailed report describes how massage was paired with shower and oil in a broader specialty-style session, which fits with the spa’s overall approach: relax first, then refine.

If you’re the type who gets tense shoulders from travel days, this is where you’ll feel the change first. And since the package runs about 3 hours, the massage isn’t rushed into a tiny slot.

Body scrub: exfoliation that feels like a reset

After the massage, the experience moves into body scrub territory. The idea is simple: exfoliate and renew your skin, using local ingredients as part of the scrub approach.

In reviews, people specifically reference a salt scrub and describe it as part of a full Relaxation Package flow. So whether your therapist uses salt or another local ingredient mix, you can expect this stage to feel like a true “clean-and-smooth” moment, not just a quick rinse.

Practical tip: this is a great time to go in with open skin and open expectations. After a scrub, your skin often feels noticeably smoother, and that makes the facial step feel like the final polish.

Facial massage and facial scrub: finish with focused care

The last treatment element is the facial massage (and facial scrub/treatment as part of the package). One review calls out a vitamin facial, which suggests the facial part can be framed around skin-boosting ingredients, depending on the session.

What I like about ending with the face is that it ties the whole appointment together. Your body loosens from the massage, your skin is refreshed from the scrub, and the facial step is where you leave feeling like you look and feel a bit more “put together.”

If you tend to get travel-face—dryness, dullness, that tired look—this finishing step is often the difference between “I feel relaxed” and “I actually look better too.”

What’s included beyond the treatments

The Relaxation Package isn’t just treatment rooms and lotion. You also get:

• Coffee and/or tea
• Cold towel
• Feet cleansing
• The Relaxation Package (3 hours)

These aren’t filler extras. They’re part of how the spa controls the pacing: you arrive, settle, get refreshed, then move treatment-to-treatment without stopping to figure out logistics.

If you’re traveling with family, those small extras also help younger members of your group (and older ones too) relax into the experience without feeling overwhelmed.

Riverside location: why it’s practical for a Phnom Penh day

Bodia Spa Riverside is set up for people who want an easy add-on to a day in Phnom Penh. Your meeting point is clearly listed, and it’s described as near public transportation, which matters in a city where route planning can eat time.

Because private transportation isn’t included, you’ll want to choose a route that’s simple for you. If you’re already using public transit or walking between sights, this location can slot into your schedule without extra fuss.

How long is enough? Timing your 3 hours well

Plan on about 3 hours total for the experience (approximate). That’s usually long enough to feel a real effect on sore muscles and travel fatigue, but not so long that it eats your whole evening.

A smart way to schedule it:

• Do a lighter sightseeing block earlier in the day.
• Then book the spa when your energy is down but you still want to feel good later.

With daily hours from 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM, you’ve got options. If you’re sensitive to heat, earlier slots can feel better. If you want a late-night “wind down,” evening is available too.

Therapist names you’ll hear about—and what that signals

People consistently mention individual therapists by name, which is a good sign for consistency. You’ll see praise tied to Soth Sin, Om Kimheng, Morng, Om, Ngeb Mai, and Ngot-Srey Kat.

I don’t assume you’ll get any specific therapist. But when multiple staff names are mentioned in happy detail, it tells me the service culture is strong and training seems consistent.

If you want the “best chance” at the style you like, you can ask staff about focus areas (tight shoulders, tired legs, dry skin) when the assessment happens. Since the spa already checks needs before starting, your input fits the format.

Is this worth it for couples and families?

Yes, it’s well suited for both. The package works for solo relaxation, but the “private for your group” setup is especially appealing for couples and family members who want shared time without mixing with other strangers.

And couples-style sessions show up in the feedback too, where people describe being treated with extra attention from start to finish. Even if you’re not doing a couples arrangement, the same care and pacing often apply.

Small considerations before you go

A few practical things to keep in mind:

• No private transportation: you’re responsible for getting there.
• It’s a fixed package flow: massage then scrub then facial, so it’s not an à la carte menu.
• It’s popular: booking about 17 days ahead on average suggests you shouldn’t wait until the last minute if your dates are firm.

Should you book the Bodia Spa 3-hour Relaxation Package?

I’d book it if you want one appointment that actually covers multiple body care steps—massage, body scrub, and facial—without you assembling a plan yourself. At $72 for about 3 hours, the included extras (feet cleansing, cold towel, coffee/tea) make it feel like a complete reset, not just a treatment line item.

Skip it only if you don’t want to schedule around a set 3-hour block, or if you really need transportation included. Otherwise, this is a strong choice for anyone who wants a calm, structured wellness break in Phnom Penh.
