City, Temples & Beach

This Classic Cambodia Itinerary combines Phnom Penh, Siem Reap and a few nights relaxation on the beach.

Begin the trip in Cambodia's lively capital city Phnom Penh, with its wide French designed boulevards, riverside promenade, bustling markets and plentiful sights.

From Phnom Penh fly north to Siem Reap and explore the incredible temples of Angkor, one of the most spectacular sights in Asia with the ruins of the ancient Khmer capital emerging from the Cambodian Jungle.

Spend 3 nights in Siem Reap with two days to explore the temples.

Finish the trip with 4 nights to relax in a beach resort in Sihanoukville or in the sleepy coastal village of Kep.

All of our Cambodia itineraries are completely tailor made and can  be adjusted to suit your interests and budget.

A tour of Cambodia can easily be combined with neighbouring countries such as Thailand, Laos and Vietnam to make a great multi-centre Asia holiday.

Phnom Penh

Cambodia’s capital is often overlooked as visitors head straight to Angkor Wat in the north.

Phnom Penh is well worth a visit however as the city has some lively markets, impressive temples and a great little museum which will elucidate much about the magnificent monuments further north.

On a more sobering note, the Killing Fields memorial is a moving testament to more recent events and an important place to visit to really understand modern day Cambodia.

Phnom Penh is essential on any tour of Cambodia - don't miss it.

Siem Reap

Siem Reap has grown rapidly in recent years as the gateway to the magnificent Angkor temples.

Angkor Wat is just the most famous of the Angkor temples, that are spread out over a wide area and deserve at least two full days for exploration.

There is now a good choice of luxury boutique hotels in Siem Reap. Boutique hotels in Siem Reap we recommend include Heritage Suites and the luxury La Residence Angkor.

Direct flights now link Siem Reap to Sihanoukville making a Cambodia beach holiday an easy add on to tour of Cambodia.

Sihanoukville

Sihanoukville is the premier Cambodian beach resort destination, just 3 hours by car from Phnom Penh.

Sihanoukville (also known as Kampong Som) is now served by direct flights from Siem Reap, making a combination of Cambodia tour and Cambodia beach holiday a great option.

Sihanoukville offers a less developed (though far from undeveloped) beach holiday option than neighbouring Thailand.

Islands

There are now 4 luxury beach resorts on islands close to Sihanoukville on the so called Cambodian Riviera.

New in 2019 are the Six Senses Krabey Island and Alila Koh Russey, whilst Song Saa Resort remains the most luxurious beach resort in Cambodia.

On Koh Rong, the Golden Sands has had a very succesful opening year in 2018 and offers a beautiful beachfront setting within easy reach of the mainland.
