About Cambodia

A fascinating South East Asian nation, Cambodia is an increasingly popular destination for those seeking to combine beautiful beach and nature escapes with lively trips to forward-thinking cities and heritage hotspots. The country’s turbulent 20th-century history has left its mark, but Cambodia’s people’s resilient spirit and warm hospitality has led to a boom in the tourist industry, with a burgeoning crop of fabulous hotels and guesthouses opening in recent years. Delve into our list of recommendations to find the best places to stay in Cambodia, perfect for memorable trips as a couple or with family and friends.

Some of our Cambodia Collections:

Vibrant Phnom Penh is the country’s capital, home to the Royal Palace, some fantastic museums, boutiques, galleries and eateries. One for culture aficionados as well as those dreaming of hip bars and restaurants, we think a stop in Phnom Penh is a must on any visitor’s itinerary. Cambodia’s most famous attraction, however, is the iconic Angkor Wat and surrounding temple complex, close to the buzzy city of Siem Reap. Expect a curious combination of backpacker haunts and gorgeous heritage landmarks in this area — as well as a plethora of terrific hotels.

Head towards the coast at Sihanoukville for access to the stunning island of Koh Rong, or venture closer to the Vietnamese border to discover Kep, which is known for its National Park and excellent seafood. Back inland, spot rare wildlife in Koh Kong Province’s Botum Sakor National Park, hike up jungle trails, or kayak along scenic rivers. Cambodia is a wonderful country, with off-the-beaten-track experiences aplenty for those who take the time to look. Book a room at one of the best places to stay in Cambodia to kick start your adventure!

Travel Information

  • Cambodia has two large international airports: Phnom Penh International Airport and Siem Reap International Airport. Sihanoukville International Airport is a smaller hub, and useful for coastal trips. Many journeys from Europe or the US require a stop in Dubai, or a larger Asian hub. Continue to your destination by bus or taxi from the airport in Phnom Penh or Siem Reap, or speak to your hotel to arrange an airport pick up in advance.
  • Alternatively — and if you're comfortable driving in Asia — contact our partner Rentalcars to hire a car.
  • Visit between November and March for the dry season, when the weather is also cooler. Temperatures heat up between March and May, when you can expect sticky 33–35°C days, whilst the monsoon rains are expected in June and October. Bring umbrellas and expect to shelter in cafes if travelling at those times!
