Coastal Cambodia, Cambodia

Cambodia is not a destination that comes to mind when considering a beach holiday but that's all set to change with the south-coast fast emerging as a a contender to more established beach destinations in Asia. Home to stretches of untouched coastline, postcard-perfect tropical islands and powder white sand lapped by a turquoise ocean it's no surprise that luxury hotel groups such as Six Senses have opened here. There's also Alila Villas Koh Russey set on a gorgeous beach and a new Tamu Resort on spectacular Koh Rong. This is tropical resort living that seriously rivals the Indian Ocean. Combine with Siem Reap, an easy one-hour flight away, for a cultural extravaganza and this is a destination that really does offer it all. Of course, it's also the perfect finale for a touring holiday around Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand, especially if barefoot luxury is your thing!
