Cambodia, mostly known for the powerful Khmer Empire, offers more than the famous Angkor Wat temple complex near Siam Reap. Due to it´s rich heritage, warm friendly people and unspoiled nature, Cambodia is a fabulous destination for luxury tours.
A luxury traveler, fearing the tourist masses from Angkor Wat would be well-advised to focus on the lesser-know sights during his luxury tours in Cambodia. Angkor Wat might belong to those places on earth everyone should visit in his life and a luxury tour of Angkor Wat surely has its perks- like a private luxury dinner near an Angkorian temple or a spatreatment by the royal bathing pools. But the Angkorian empire that controlled the country until the 14th century left its footsteps all over t Cambodia - be it Banteay Kdei, a Buddhist temple in the Bayon style or the walled city of Angkor Thom that was the last capital of the Khmer Empire.
As the culture and beliefs will provide unforgettable impressions the same applies to the Cambodian cuisine you´ll experience in the best restaurants or even at local markets during a luxury tour through Cambodia. You can try for famous dishes like Amok trey (fish covered with kroeung and coconut milk) or Kuytheav a traditional Cambodian pork broth based noodle soup which has it´s origin in China.
Phnom Penh, once called the "Pearl of Asia" is another destination someone on his luxury tour through Cambodia shouldn´t miss out. The main capital, since the French colonized the country, is known as a place with awesome historical sights and cultural attractions. Based at a luxurious 5-star hotel like the Raffles Hotel Le Royal or as environment protection plays a more and more important role at Cambodia's first carbon neutral hotel The Quay, visitors are able to discover the town on a tour about the "New Khmer Architecture" that was established during the 1950´s and 60´s. As it´s still a relative untouristy place in contrast to Siem Reap or the temple of Angkor Wat, travelers appreciating to travel in a luxurious style can be sure not to get disappointed through mass tourism and will discover lots of interesting places or will get indulged in exciting restaurants.
Once people decide to go to Cambodia on a luxury tour they decide for a marvelous journey full of incredible experiences in a country that belongs with it´s culture, architecture and cuisine to one of the most interesting destinations for luxury travel.
