Best time to visit Cambodia
Follow the sun & evade the crowds
Did you know that Cambodia has over 400 kilometres of brilliant white, sandy coastline and a picture-perfect gathering of blissfully-beachy islands? Nope, neither did we until our first visit – and we can assure you that it’s 400 kilometres of utter magic that is barely on the world’s radar (yet). Lapped by the bathtub-warm waters of the Gulf of Thailand, the bays and coves are ideal for swimming, snorkelling and pretty much any other water-based activity you desire, and the wild, tangled interiors offer everything from wildlife spotting to waterfall chasing, hiking, cycling and exploring. Accommodation has come on leaps and bounds since the days of sandy-floored huts and you’ll find an array of laidback boutique hotels and tranquil villas to suit all tastes and budgets. In fact, the southern islands are now home to la crème de la crème of glamorous resorts, which we’re going to find very hard to keep a secret for much longer…
Start with a recommended trip or create one from scratch
Importantly, the hotels and resorts that have appeared in recent years are all incredibly thoughtful with a firm focus on eco-friendly, low-impact luxury. Sustainable and idyllic? You know what we think about that…
Pretty much all of it! The fact that beaches so beautiful and water so luminous can be so little-visited is a mystery to us – but we’re not complaining. Go, before everyone else does.
As with many of the islands in this neck of the woods, there are certain areas that are dominated by the backpacker tribe. None of our hotels are near the ‘busy’ areas, but be prepared for a glimpse of the wild side!
