There's so much more to Cambodia than Angkor Wat and Phnom Penh and we confidently predict that the southern coastal region will be the next big thing. Until now anyone wanting to combine culture with a luxury beach holiday (and what an excellent combination that makes) could visit the miraculous lost city of Angkor Wat but would then more than likely head over to the - admittedly beautiful - beaches of neighbouring Vietnam or Thailand. Thanks to the emergence of Coastal Cambodia holidays that's no longer necessary.

"All in all, it was excellent. We particularly loved the meet-and-greet at Heathrow to help us on our way, and the staff at Jaya House were excellent as well. Everything was fantastic, but we love temples, so exploring them was always going to be a highlight."

"One of the best trips we’ve ever taken. Everything felt seamless from the start, and Holly really listened and understood what kind of experience we wanted. Both hotels were also a perfect fit - our stay in Siem Reap was perhaps the best boutique hotel we have ever stayed in. The local guides and driver were wonderful, and the mix of cultural experiences and time to explore made the whole journey unforgettable."

"It was one of our favourite trips ever. Cambodia delivered adventure, glorious islands with white sandy beaches, forests and lovely people. Our guide in Siem Reap (Chan) was in our top 5 in the world. How brilliant to arrive at our last hotel and find a surprise bottle of chilled sauvignon and a note from Frances and Natia. We love the sustainability at your core. The Concierge, Alex, was the best on-the-ground service we have ever received. Not only did she establish WhatsApp contact before we left, but she was 'always ready to help'. We were recommending your company to friends before we even left! You've created something brilliant, Tom, and retained the personal touch."

What you can find in Coastal Cambodia that you won't find anywhere else?

The coast of Cambodia already had uninhabited islands, white sandy beaches, clear blue waters and a national park, but now there are some excellent luxury hotels too. The mainland has a couple of places of interest including Kep, which was once a chic colonial beach resort full of luxurious villas until its abandonment during the Khmer Rouge era. Then there's Sihanoukville, on a small peninsula on the Gulf of Thailand, and surrounded by several palm tree-lined beaches. Slightly inland on the edge of the Tatai River, there's a fabulous floating lodge which has taken inspiration from many African tented camps in its style.

However, with the recent arrival of a clutch of seriously luxurious hotels on the island's off Coastal Cambodia, the action is very much offshore. After exploring Cambodia's cultural treasures, make your way to one of these island idylls for the full pampering experience; indulgent spa treatments, superb cuisine, sublime service et al. If you are on the mainland, several other uninhabited islands are accessible by traditional wooden motorboats for day trips where you can snorkel above beautiful marine life and pristine coral or relax on secluded beaches. Several good dive sites can also be found along the coast.
