Cambodia - Temples & Island Retreat

You’ll be met on arrival and transferred by private car to your hotel. Settle in, take a dip in the pool or head out for a gentle walk around Siem Reap’s vibrant night markets and buzzing street cafés.

Stay: Shinta Mani Angkor – Bayon Room including breakfast
Upgrade option: Zannier Phum Baitang – Terrace Villa

This morning, venture into the jungle-clad hills north of Angkor to explore Kbal Spean, where ancient Hindu carvings lie hidden along a sacred riverbed. It’s a gentle, shady walk through the forest and a peaceful place to begin your temple journey. Afterwards, visit the intricately carved pink sandstone temple of Banteay Srei, considered a jewel of Khmer art. Return to your hotel for a restful afternoon.

There’s plenty of time to relax around the pool, or if you feel like exploring, you could visit Apopo Hero Rats, where trained African rats help detect unexploded landmines, or stop by Satcha, a creative hub supporting Cambodian artisans.

Explore Angkor’s quieter corners by e-mountain bike, cycling through shaded trails and village roads. Visit the jungle-wrapped ruins of Ta Prohm, pass the stepped pyramid of Takeo, and ride along the walls of Angkor Thom.

Pause to explore temples like Preah Palilay and Bayon, with its famous stone faces. End the morning with a traditional Khmer lunch and foot massage at Sala Kdei, a peaceful wooden house beside the royal bathing pool of Sra Srang.
The afternoon is yours to unwind, and in the evening we recommend a visit to the Phare Circus, a contemporary performance of acrobatics, dance and storytelling that supports local youth.

An early start today for sunrise at Angkor Wat – a spectacular moment as the temple's spires silhouette against the morning sky. Afterwards, explore the temple's intricate carvings and grand central towers before heading back to your hotel for a late breakfast.

Later, cruise along the Tonlé Sap River to Kampong Phluk, a stilted village where homes sit high above the water. Depending on the season, float through the nearby flooded forest by traditional canoe. Spend the rest of the day relaxing or exploring at your own pace.

After breakfast, fly south to the Cambodian coast and transfer by speedboat to Koh Rong, a peaceful island paradise with some of the softest sand and clearest sea in Asia.

Your final days are all about relaxation at The Royal Sands Koh Rong, a barefoot-luxury resort tucked along a dazzling private beach. Villas are spacious and serene, with indoor-outdoor living, soft neutral tones, and private pools that open onto the sea.

There are two beachfront restaurants serving fresh seafood and Khmer dishes, a serene infinity pool, and a beautiful spa with open-air treatment salas. You can snorkel, paddleboard, hike, or simply wander along the beach and do absolutely nothing at all. In the evening, the ocean often lights up with bioluminescent plankton, and stargazing from your deck is pure magic.
