Cambodia is a kingdom that inspires a sense of profound wonder. Dominated by the magnificent, ancient temples of Angkor, this is a country with a powerful history and a resilient, gentle soul. A journey here is a journey through time itself.
Our luxury holidays to Cambodia are designed to connect you with the awe-inspiring legacy of the Khmer Empire in complete comfort. The main reason to visit is, of course, the temples of Angkor, a vast and breathtaking archaeological park. But beyond the famous sites, Cambodia reveals more subtle charms.
The town of Siem Reap, the gateway to the temples, has a relaxed atmosphere and a superb collection of five-star hotels. The capital, Phnom Penh, set on the banks of the Mekong River, offers a compelling insight into the country’s more recent history. For a final moment of relaxation, the southern islands, such as Koh Rong, offer surprisingly pristine beaches and secluded luxury resorts. A luxury Cambodia holiday provides a deep and meaningful travel experience.

To witness the sunrise over Angkor Wat is one of the world’s most iconic travel experiences. In the quiet, pre-dawn darkness, you find your spot and wait. As the sky slowly lightens, the temple’s five distinctive towers emerge as a perfect silhouette against the colourful sky, reflecting in the waters of the library pools. It is a moment of pure, collective awe, a silent and unforgettable connection to a magnificent past.
A journey into the ancient city of Angkor Thom feels like stepping onto the set of an adventure film. After crossing a moat lined with stone gods and demons, you arrive at its heart: the Bayon temple. Here, over 200 enormous, enigmatic smiling faces are carved into the stone towers, their serene expressions following you as you explore the temple’s maze-like galleries. It is a mysterious and deeply atmospheric place.
At the temple of Ta Prohm, nature and architecture are locked in a timeless embrace. Unlike other sites, it has been largely left as it was found, with the jungle weaving its way through the ancient stones. Giant silk-cotton trees grow out of the temple walls, their powerful roots snaking over carvings and coiling through doorways. It is a beautiful, photogenic, and powerful reminder of the enduring force of the natural world.
Siem Reap is more than just a gateway town; it has a gentle charm all of its own. A private Khmer cooking class is a wonderful way to connect with the local culture. You can learn about the subtle, fresh flavours that define the cuisine, using ingredients like lemongrass, galangal, and kaffir lime leaves. Creating a traditional dish like Fish Amok is a fun and delicious experience that provides a deeper appreciation for the country’s culinary heritage.
The golden roofs of the Royal Palace are a dazzling landmark against the Phnom Penh skyline. This beautiful complex, still the official residence of the King, is a world of serene, manicured gardens and ornate temples. The highlight is the Silver Pagoda, where the floor is famously covered in over 5,000 gleaming silver tiles. As evening approaches, the best view of the city is from the water. A private sunset cruise on the mighty Mekong River offers a moment of perfect tranquillity, watching the palace light up and seeing the city’s vibrant riverfront life unfold.
The Cambodian coastline is one of Southeast Asia’s best-kept secrets. On islands like Koh Rong, you can find a true sense of escape. A stay at a luxury private island resort, such as Song Saa, offers a different kind of Cambodian experience. Here, you can relax in an overwater villa, snorkel in clear, protected waters, and enjoy pristine white-sand beaches, often with no one else in sight. It is the perfect, peaceful conclusion to a tour of the temples.
Tonlé Sap Lake is a vast and vital body of water whose size changes dramatically with the seasons. A private boat trip to one of its floating villages reveals a unique way of life entirely adapted to the water. See floating houses, schools, shops, and even gardens, all rising and falling with the lake’s rhythm. It is a fascinating glimpse into a community that lives in perfect harmony with its extraordinary natural environment.
