Luxury holidays in Cambodia? Yes, you read that right. This offbeat destination, not often considered for luxury travel, hides incredible experiences you’ll be shouting about from the rooftops. An underrated gem of Asia, Cambodia is an exotic destination with a captivating history and that big-heart Asian hospitality. You can expect your holidays in Cambodia to be nothing less than enthralling. Its majestic temples, lush jungles, pristine beaches, and exciting flavours are just some of the things you can look forward to. Expertly combining outdoor adventure with exquisite luxury experiences, Cambodia offers a variety of unique activities to fill your stay. Channel your inner adventurer exploring the UNESCO-protected jungle temples of Angkor, or hop on a breathtaking helicopter ride to see the magnitude of this ‘Lost City’ from above. Discover the vibrant culture, explore colourful markets, taste the local fare, and learn how to recreate it at home. What may come as a surprise, Cambodia also has white sand beaches and crystalline waters that could give Thailand a run for its money. In the spirit of luxury holidays, Cambodia even spoils you with a tiny private island all to yourself. You most likely will be glued to your private pool, but if you do wish to mix it up, you can snorkel and scuba dive, kayak to nearby islands, or renew your energy with guided meditation.
