Tailor-made Cambodia Holidays

Ancient temples, jungle adventures, idyllic island retreats

Cambodia Holidays

Angkor Wat is the world’s largest religious monument, and certainly deserves all the attention it gets, but a holiday in Cambodia offers far more. Think evocative landscapes, hidden luxury, excellent light adventure, and island beaches that are blissfully free from crowds…

The rural landscapes are diverse, ranging from floating villages and jungle-flanked rivers to an almost Amazonian vibe. For inland R&R, the country’s sheltered valleys and cool rivers winding through forests are ideal for kayaking and jungle treks. If conditions are right, you can even kayak through the flooded forests of Tonle Sap, keeping an eye out for the many birds that fill the nearby trees..

A gentle spirituality is intrinsic to Cambodian daily life, and the towns and cities have an exciting buzz. This is a modern country whose creative population has a thriving, vibrant energy that enfolds everyone who visits.

Light adventure

For inland R&R, head to the Koh Kong and Tatai river region.

Sheltered by the Cardamom Mountains, this valley of forests, rivers and waterfalls is ideal for a few days of river kayaking and jungle treks. If conditions are right, you can also kayak through the flooded forests of Tonle Sap, keeping an eye out for the many birds that depend on the area.

Ancient city ruins in the jungle

The abandoned city of Angkor covers hundreds of square miles around the famous temple of Angkor Wat, and archaeologists uncover more of it each year.

Although the iconic central site is very popular, it’s also incredibly impressive, and a must-see on your first trip to Cambodia. If you can spare the time, we can also take you to other grandiose jungle-clad ruins in more remote areas, without the crowds that flock to Angkor.

Island beaches

Cambodia’s offshore islands are a joy, with soft sandy beaches and thoughtful resorts that are all about low-impact luxury and barefoot R&R.

The islands of Koh Rong and Samloem are delightful places to relax alongside Cambodians seeking some leisure time by the sea. There are several private island resorts that are well worth looking at — speak to one of our Cambodia Specialists for our latest recommendations.

Communities & conservation

Our favourite resorts and experiences in Cambodia have been designed to support local people and habitats.

The community-based accommodation ranges from homestay initiatives to astonishingly luxurious jungle camps, but all consult and involve local people in their creation and upkeep. There are inspiring experiences, too, from Phare, the circus in Siem Reap which works to address social deprivation, to the Elephant Valley Project in the country’s north-east.

Highly Recommend Selective Asia

Have been to Asia with Selective Asia twice now, and we can't fault them. We had the most amazing holiday staying in 6 different locations throughout Thailand. Selective Asia did us proud by giving us a well thought out itinerary. The accommodations were first class. Our private guide called James was very knowledgable and made our holiday very memorable.

Susan Bartlett, Thailand

Personalised and spot on journey

Personalised service all the way up to departure and then throughout via on the ground help and advice in country as well. Ideal.

Ann B, India

Another fantastic trip with Selective Asia

We’ve been on 5 trips to the Far East with Selective Asia over 17 years with the same consultant (Lionel). They take the time to tailor the holiday individually with invaluable local knowledge and once again got it spot on. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

Rob Clarkson, Vietnam

Our trip to Japan was outstanding

We had had several discussions with Andrew, our agent, before booking the trip and he incorporated all the activities we were interested in plus recommending other activities that he knew we would be interested in. Much of our trip was self guided and SA provide an excellent app to help with this. It was intuitive, easy to use and had the option to be able to contact someone locally if necessary. The whole trip was seamless and managed at a thoroughly professional yet friendly level. I would travel with this company again (we have travelled with them before.)

Heather, Japan

Fantastic holiday

Using Selective Asia took all the stress out of booking and organising the trip ourselves as we were travelling around the country. Selective Asia were really responsive to our needs and created our perfect honeymoon holiday. They were available whenever we had questions or needed some help. I would highly recommend using their service!

Alice, Sri Lanka

Great planning and organisation, coupled with an amazing experience with the local guide and driver. Everything about the holiday was magical.
