FAQs
Pre-Wedding Package
Can I arrange a pre-wedding party or an after-wedding party at your hotel?
Of course. There are several options available. For example, ladies can pamper themselves at THE BARAI Spa followed by a bridal shower in the evening, while men can enjoy a bachelor party on the beach. Our Events Planning Team is more than happy to assist you.
I am planning for a pre-wedding photoshoot at your hotel. Where can I take photographs?
There are plenty of beautiful areas, both indoors and outdoors. Feel free to take shots at the beach or the gardens. THE BARAI Spa, reminiscent of Cambodia´s Angkor Wat temples, makes a stunning backdrop, too.
