Colonial Cambodia with Beach Escape

The Cambodian coast features palm-fringed beaches, a scattering of resorts and some beautiful offshore islands where a castaway ambience prevails. Whichever beach or riverside resort you opt for, a stay on Cambodia's southern shores is an ideal conclusion to an exhilarating tour of cultural delights.

The charming riverside city of Kampot is very atmospheric and ringed by tranquil countryside and pepper plantations.

This once sleepy backwater in northwest Cambodia has undergone one of the fastest periods of growth in Southeast Asia due to its close proximity to the world-famous temples of Angkor. The town has a sophisticated air along with an array of fine hotels and a flourishing dining scene however, much of the towns traditions and culture have been conserved, creating a wonderful blend of the ancient and modern.

Situated around 3 miles from Siem Reap, the staggering temple complex of Angkor, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is one of the most important archaeological sites in Southeast Asia and the highlight of any visit to Cambodia.
