Itinerary

100% customisable for you

Siem Reap welcomes you. Cast a quick glance out the window as you land and see for yourself the dense jungle palms hiding the mythical temples of Angkor Wat. Siem Reap is the cultural heart of Cambodia, a place where adventurers flock to admire real life mythical sights and where five-star resorts and sublime spas wait to pamper weary travelers. A private transfer is waiting to drive you to your hotel for a day of sheer relaxation beside the pool. Top Tip: opt for the VIP arrival service and a personal immigration officer will be waiting to whisk you through the visa process without the need to queue. That means your cocktail beside the pool will come even quicker.

In the bright light of morning, seek refuge beneath the shady bamboo grove for a private Khmer cooking lesson. Take a walk to the nearby village to meet a local family who will be more than happy to share their foodie folklore stories and tips. Fragrant herbs, a splash of spice, and market fresh produce - under the watchful eye of your chef you can curate a traditional feast. Afterwards, dine on your dreamy creation in a private stilted pavilion hovering above the lily pond.

Take the afternoon at leisure and when the sun sets prepare for the color and chaos of the Cambodian Circus. Flying acrobats, tightrope walkers, sound and light- this truly is a magical show beneath the stars.

Enjoy your final morning in Siem Reap with one last dive into the pool or a stroll through the chic town. This afternoon board a 1.50-minute flight that will take you to Danang in the heart of Vietnam. As soon as you touch down, a representative will be waiting to take you on a scenic 50-minute drive to the beachfront lantern town of Hoi An.

Hoi An is one of Vietnam's World Heritage gems boasting beautiful French buildings, dozens of tailors, colorful lanterns and markets, and a traditional Japanese bridge arching over its river. Visit the night market or simply sleep to the sound of the sea this evening.

Today leave the tang of salt air behind as you head into the highlands. Endless shades of green are waiting in the mountains of Truong Son where the air is cool. In your vintage jeep you can cross vibrant rice paddies, elevated heights and rural roads. Make a stop at a tea plantation clinging to the side of the hills.

Afterwards, visit Ba Hom - the hill tribe home of the ethnic Co Tu people. Get a rare glimpse into tribal life as you tour the stilted houses. After a picnic lunch beside a river, you can journey on the fabled Ho Chi Minh trail to dip in the hot springs before heading back through the changing colors of evening light to Hoi An.

After a relaxing morning in the sun, its time for your private transfer back to Danang Airport for your return flight. Once more, a red eye flight to London invites you to don those ear plugs and settle down for some shut eye.
