Masked Hero image of A Journey of Discovery in Cambodia

The grandeur of Cambodia's Khmer civilization, with its awe-inspiring Angkor temples and intricate art, sits alongside the haunting remnants of a recent, darker chapter, each offering profound insights into the cultural tapestry of one of Southeast Asia’s smallest nations. The pulse created by Cambodia’s fast-growing “new tiger” economy contrasts with the tranquillity of its ancient landscapes. Vibrant, colonial-era streets of Phnom Penh and arty Siem Reap buzz with important memorials, funky bars and fresh, fine dining restaurants, while out in the backcountry – a patchwork of serene rice paddies laced with meandering rivers – jungle-clad temples echo with the prayers of ancient kings. Along the sandy bays and forested headlands of the coast, pristine islands such as the eco haven of Song Saa offer gateways to vivid coral reefs teeming with marine life. With an ever-growing network of luxury retreats and exclusive cultural experiences, A&K offers the ultimate Cambodian adventure.
