A luxury holiday in Cambodia offers majestic temples, a rich historical tapestry, and miles of pristine coastal beauty, making it a captivating destination blending ancient grandeur with a fascinating cultural narrative.

Why travel to Cambodia

Your luxury holiday in Cambodia will almost certainly take you to the spectacular Angkor. The artistic, architectural and cultural legacy of the Khmer Empire which dominated much of Southeast Asia between the 9th and 13th centuries is epitomised in the ruins of the Angkor area. This truly vast archaeological site enables one to trace each stage of the fascinating history of the Khmer peoples.

Our specialists on the ground guide you expertly through the ruins, pointing out historic and cultural details and are able to organise visits to lesser-known ruins hidden further into the jungle.

Elsewhere, we can help you get under the skin of Cambodia. Explore the bustling streets of capital Phnom Penh with a private guide and see the colourful markets in action.

The options on a luxury tailor made holiday in this charming destination are endless. We can arrange a picnic on a deserted island or lunch overlooking the exquisite views of Bokor Mountain, a deserted hill station relic of Cambodia’s 60’s heyday. Cruise the waterways of Tonle Sap, the main artery of life in Cambodia, or follow the Mekong River as it weaves its way to Vietnam. Secret spots on Cambodia’s coastline and off-shore island are reminiscent of Thailand 30 years ago and round-off any trip to the Cambodia perfectly.

What our clients say

I didn’t really want to leave Vietnam at all but, of course, Cambodia was just as dazzling. There is no doubt that Angkor, particularly Angkor Wat, is extraordinary and I am sure you can go back again and again and always find something new. We also loved our long walk on Phnom Kulen.

What our clients say

I am so grateful, we both are, for all that you did and organised for our first introduction to Vietnam and Cambodia. Your meticulous planning was faultless, there was always someone to meet us, always a car waiting and each day a new slant on life in both countries past and present.

What our clients say

I have been meaning to write to you to say how much I enjoyed the Vietnam / Cambodia trip. I can’t fault the smooth organisation. Whilst it was odd for many to take a shared tour, it was, I believe, a good way to enjoy the Mekong and I found it fascinating to observe the group; I was thoroughly entertained by some lovely people.
