The Cambodia Luxury Experiential Tour provides the chance to explore the capital Phnom Penh, the legendary temples of Angkor and Tonle Sap Lake at a leisurely pace, combined with time to relax at the Song Saa Island Resort, which is set on two pristine islands in the Gulf of Thailand.
The holiday starts with a two night stay at the Raffles Hotel in Phnom Penh, with a welcome dinner at one of the capital's finest restaurants. At the confluence of four rivers, travelers will find Cambodia's capital, a city with both a glorious and tragic past.
Nevertheless, it is emerging as a great luxury destination, thanks to its wide array of colonial buildings, temples, eclectic markets and up and coming food scene. And one cannot miss the National Museum, which delves into the past of Angkor Wat and the Royal Palace, which highlights Khmer architecture.
Next, fly to Siem Reap, with four nights spent at the Amansara with two private half-day tours including the top four temples of Cambodia: Angkor Wat, Angkor Thom, Ta Prohm and Banteay Srei, as well as the temples and floating villages of Tonle Sap Lake. Adding some local flair to the experience, there is also a welcome dinner at the highly acclaimed Wat Damanak restaurant which serves authentic Khmer dishes, and an exclusive sunrise breakfast next to the 190 meter wide moat surrounding Angkor Wat.
The second part of the holiday starts with a flight to Cambodia's south coast to board a speedboat to transfer to Song Saa, located in the Koh Rong Archipelago which forms part of the Ream National Marine Park. Three nights will be spent at the exclusive retreat, relaxing and enjoying the exquisite food, with an array of activities including swimming, snorkeling, windsurfing and diving, plus a wide choice of spa treatments for those in need of some pampering.
“After a wonderful cultural trip, it’s is the perfect place to stay in Cambodia to have a high quality tropical beach experience. The four-day ‘Song Saa on the Cambodian Rivera’ trip includes a speedboat ride from Sihanoukville to delightful Song Saa Private Island. While there, you can enjoy snorkeling, sea kayaking, bird watching, yoga and inclusive breakfast, lunch, dinner, wines, beers and spirits.” said David Nguyen, sales and marketing manager of Luxury Travel Ltd.
