No longer considered just an add on to its more well known neighbours of Thailand or Vietnam, the ancient Southeast Asian kingdom of Cambodia has has rightly developed into a must-see destination in its own right.

A cultivated country with something interesting to offer every traveller, Cambodia's main draw is undoubtedly the world famous UNESCO protected temples of Angkor Wat, which attract millions of visitors every year. However, there's so much more for one to discover in this magically beautiful destination, including its remote islands and pristine beaches, its unexplored jungles and varied wildlife, its vibrant and flavoursome cuisine and also its extremely warm and friendly people who always have a smile on their faces.

When it comes to places to stay in Cambodia, traditionally the options at the luxury end of the market were mostly limited to Siem Reap, but this is gradually changing with the opening of places like Six Senses Krabey Island, Alila Koh Russey and Shinta Mani Wild who are bringing a new level of style and sophistication to the rest of the country.

So whether you are looking for a luxury beach escape, a culinary adventure or a deeply soulful and spiritual journey, Cambodia should most certainly be at the very top of your list.
