Cambodia honeymoons: Angkor Wat & Siem Reap
Cambodia honeymoons mean a romantic adventure. Begin yours with a visit to the world’s largest religious monument, the spectacular temple-complex of Angkor Wat – a perfect place to toast your new life together with a sparkling sundowner. A short drive from Angkor Wat, the Park Hyatt Siem Reap is a great choice of accommodation, featuring a fusion of ancient Khmer and modern Art Deco styling. You’ll probably be keen to relax, but while in the resort town of Siem Reap, do take some time to marvel at the enigma of Bayon. Its dozens of massive stone faces smile serenely in every direction. Arrive early to mull over its mysteries in solitude, then head to the north gate of Angkor Thom. Here you can take to the saddle for a scenic bicycle tour, passing rice fields, jungle and pretty villages, arriving at the hidden temple of Banteay Thom. Far from roads and virtually untouched by tourism, spy the intricately carved relief depicting the Great Departure of Buddha. Hold hands amid the tumbledown stones of Ta Prohm, long engulfed by jungle and tangled with tree roots and tendrils.
Afternoons around Siem Reap can be spent relaxing by the pool or taking boat trips to the floating villages on nearby Tonlé Sap Lake. Alternatively, meet friendly villagers, visit artisan workshops and browse the colourful stalls of the Old Market for an insight into the local culture. It’s a short hop across the river to the living Buddhist temple of Wat Damnak, where orange-robed monks pray as they have for centuries.
