If you’ve ever dreamed of being in an adventure like Indiana Jones then put Angkor Wat and surrounding temples on your bucket list. It’s hard not to be impressed by this great complex that at one time had one of the biggest populations in the world. Out favourite temples include Ta Phrom with big overgrown tree roots, Bayon and Beng Mealea about two-hours drive away where you definitely feel like an explorer! No need to stay in a snake pit like Indie though – the magnificent Belmond La Résidence d’Angkor, an intimate retreat on the banks of a tree-lined river has is an ideal base to explore the wonders of the region and the hotel’s peaceful gardens, an inviting swimming pool and luxury spa are the perfect place to relax at the end of an action-packed day.
