Reasons To
Visit Cambodia

  • Festivals

    Otherwise known as the water festival, Bon Om Tuk is when Siem Reap and Phnom Penh come alive. Cambodia's most important festival, Bon Om Tuk celebrates the turning of the water in the Mekong, a phenomenon to which the Tonle Sap owes its very existence.

    Festivals

  • Khmer people

    Despite Cambodia`s turbulent history the Khmer people show true strength of character. Everywhere you travel you will be greeted with a smile, from the urbanites of Siem Reap and Phnom Penh to the eclectic indigenous populations of the remote Rattanakiri and Mondulkiri provinces.

  • Local cuisine

    Often overlooked by the more famous cuisine from its neighbours Cambodia is actually home to some savoury delights. Sample a tasty amok at the market in Siem Reap or indulge in Kep's delicious crab. For those more adventurous you could try an infamous deep fried spider or cricket!

  • South coast

    From the sleepy coastal town of Kep with its dilapidated 1960s villas to the mangroves near Koh Kong, the Southcoast has plenty to offer. And for a bit of barefoot luxury, you can spend some time at Song Saa or the 'Sweetheart' islands.

  • Temples of Angkor

    The number of visitors to Angkor multiplies exponentially each year but we can recommend ways to appreciate even the busiest sites, like Angkor Wat, and would encourage you to visit some of the lesser-known temples, such as Beng Melea and Banteay Srei. Alternatively, escape the crowds and explore the temples further afield on a temple camping safari.

  • The Khmer Rouge

    It's hard to ignore the mass genocide of an estimated 2 million people. The effects of Polpot transcend the nation and every Khmer can tell you a story of their time under the despot, the history can be felt and explored throughout the country - from the historical musuems in Phnom Penh to the final resting place of Pol Pot near Anlong Veng.

Hotel de la Paix

Siem Reap

Siem Reap’s superb new five-star option is ideally located for exploring the temples, but also within a short walk of the town’s best restaurants and bars.

Hotel De La Paix combines art deco style with a strong local Khmer influence, apparent through the various traditional lamps and wall hangings that adorn the property.

The hotel features 107 guest rooms, including nine amazing spa suites that each feature a private roof top terrace and plunge bath.

The restaurant, which is situated in a peaceful courtyard setting, serves delicious food and the excellent Khmer set menu is highly recommended as a wonderful introduction to Cambodian cuisine.

The first floor incorporates a superb infinity pool and traditional spa area, perfect for unwinding after a day exploring the temples.

Like Shinta Mani, this hotel plays a major part in supporting the local Khmer people and guests can sponsor worthwhile community projects.
