Cambodia In Style
A Luxury Journey Through Cities, Temples, Jungle & Island
Experience Cambodia in style with an itinerary that pairs some of the country’s most exceptional hotels with privately guided touring and thoughtfully timed experiences.
In Phnom Penh, you’ll explore the city’s royal landmarks and important recent history before drifting along the Mekong for an evening of cycling, countryside and a multi-course tasting menu hosted by Chef Nak, a champion of traditional Khmer cuisine. In Siem Reap, early starts and careful routing allow you to experience Ta Prohm, Angkor Thom and Angkor Wat in their most atmospheric moments, with space to enjoy Phum Baitang’s tranquil setting.
The journey then moves into the forested hills of the Cardamom region at Shinta Mani Wild, where inclusive activities, wilderness patrols and river journeys sit alongside time in the spa and at the river bar. Finally, days at Song Saa Private Island invite you to slow down completely, with barefoot walks, warm water swims and easy evenings overlooking the Koh Rong Archipelago.
