Day 1

Welcome to Cambodia

Choum reap sor, and welcome to Siem Reap — the cultural heart of Cambodia!

Upon arrival at Siem Reap Airport, your friendly English-speaking driver will be waiting in the arrivals hall holding a sign with your name. You’ll be transferred in comfort to your handpicked boutique hotel, with your choice of Comfort, Deluxe or Indulgence standard.

Take the rest of the day to relax and settle in — perhaps take a dip in the hotel pool, wander through the nearby Old Market, or enjoy a sunset cocktail on the terrace.

Breakfast included
3 nights in Siem Reap — stay in the hotel standard you choose

Day 2

Temples of Time — Angkor Wat & Beyond

After breakfast, your private guide will lead you through the sacred landscapes of Angkor, where ancient temples and thick jungle collide in otherworldly beauty.

Wander through the majestic South Gate of Angkor Thom and gaze into the serene stone faces of Bayon Temple. Let your imagination run wild at Ta Prohm, where tree roots snake through temple walls in a tangle of history and nature.

End the day at the iconic Angkor Wat — the crown jewel of Cambodia and a centrepiece of the Wonders of Cambodia. As the sun dips behind the spires, you’ll understand why this site is considered one of the world’s great wonders.

Breakfast included

Tonle Sap Lake

Day 3

Village Rhythms & Floating Worlds

This morning offers a deeper connection to Cambodia’s culture. Travel by tuk-tuk to peaceful Chrieve village, where you’ll meet families, join in hands-on gardening or farming, and enjoy an oxcart ride across open fields dotted with water buffalo.

Later, take to the water and cruise across Tonle Sap — Southeast Asia’s largest freshwater lake — to visit the floating village of Chong Khneas. Learn how life flows with the rhythm of the lake before stopping at Les Artisans d’Angkor, a social enterprise reviving ancient stone carving and wood sculpting.

This is a day that reveals the heartbeat of Cambodia — quiet, resilient, and deeply welcoming.

Breakfast included

Sihanoukville Beach

Day 4

From Sacred Temples to Southern Shores

After breakfast, your driver will transfer you to the airport for a short domestic flight to Cambodia’s southern coastline. Depending on your accommodation style, your beach escape begins in one of three beautiful ways:

  • Comfort: Transfer to your laid-back beachfront hotel in Sihanoukville.

  • Deluxe: Travel by shared ferry to tranquil Koh Rong Samloem Island — known for its white sand and crystal-clear waters.

  • Indulgence: Glide by private speedboat to Bamboo Island and step into a world of secluded barefoot luxury.

The afternoon is yours to settle in, watch the waves roll in, or take a sunset stroll along the shore.

Breakfast included
5 nights of Sihanoukville – stay in the hotel standard you choose

Sihanoukville Beach with Boat

Days 5-8

Slow Days & Sea Breezes

These days are all about slow travel and soul-soothing rest. Wake up to the sound of the sea, stretch into the day at your own pace, and enjoy as much (or as little) activity as you wish.

Snorkel through warm coral reefs, read from a hammock, book a massage by the sea, or dine barefoot on fresh-caught seafood as the sun melts into the ocean.

We’ll provide you with a travel booklet filled with local insights, optional experiences, and foodie tips — or simply embrace the art of doing nothing in paradise.

Breakfast included

Phnom Penh Royal Palace

Day 9

Phnom Penh by Cyclo

Leave the coast behind and journey inland with your private driver to Cambodia’s lively capital — Phnom Penh. Upon arrival, check in and refresh before stepping into a slower rhythm of exploration.

Your guide will meet you for an early evening cyclo tour — a nostalgic pedal-powered ride through wide boulevards and riverside scenes. Visit the ornate Royal Palace and the gleaming Silver Pagoda, home to a solid gold Buddha studded with diamonds. Then, ascend to Wat Phnom, a hilltop temple rich in legend and local charm.

Tonight, raise a glass to the journey you’ve had — and the stories still unfolding.

Breakfast included
1 night in Phnom Penh — stay in the hotel standard you choose

Day 10

History, Reflection & Farewell

This morning, your guide will take you to the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum — a deeply moving site that sheds light on Cambodia’s recent history. It’s a powerful contrast to the joy and generosity you’ve experienced elsewhere — and an essential piece of understanding this resilient country.

Afterwards, browse colourful market stalls at Toul Tom Poung for handcrafted keepsakes and local bites before your driver transfers you to Phnom Penh Airport for your departure.
