Leading Asia specialist, Travel Indochina, has launched its new ‘Essence of Asia’ brochure for 2009, an upmarket, tailor-made programme of inspiring experiences and journeys throughout Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, India and China, featuring some of the region’s most luxurious five and six star resorts, plus chic boutique retreats.
“We’re delighted to be launching Essence of Asia” says Travel Indochina’s General Manager Chris Orme. “We are seeing more and more requests for flexible, tailor-made holidays and this brochure is designed to cater to this need. The featured products and ideas provide an excellent starting point from which we can create unique itineraries or match to one of our deluxe small group journeys.
”We aim to inspire customers with the diversity of what we can offer throughout Indochina, in the wonderful absence of crowds of tourists,” he added.
NEW BROCHURE HIGHLIGHTS:
Expanded Cambodia programme – Travel Indochina stands out from other tour operators as a result of the fact that they have offices on the ground, enabling their team to keep their finger on the pulse and hunt out hidden gems and new product offerings.
Knai Bang Chatt is such an example and new to the Essence of Asia programme - one of Cambodia’s most exclusive resorts that was originally a weekend home for French colonials in the early 20th century. The main part of the house was built in 1962 by a renowned Khmer protégé of Le Corbusier.
The resort is nestled on Kep’s stunning coastline in the undeveloped yet fascinating region of Cambodia’s south coast. Both elegant and eye-catching, its three villas, housing 11 stylish bedrooms, have been restored in keeping with their former 60’s grandeur and perfectly complement the property’s other key attractions, the infinity-edge swimming pool, wooden dining pavilion and newly-opened beach restaurant.
Knai Bang Chatt is also available as part of Travel Indochina’s popular “Cambodia in Style” itinerary, a tailor-made programme enabling guests to stay at a selection of Cambodia’s finest boutique properties, as a base for seeing the main sites, from the temples of Angkor and the captivating capital of Phnom Penh.
For true decadence, Amansara in Siem Reap, provides Travel Indochina’s customers with a modern contrast to the more traditional resorts and historical sights that Siem Reap and the temples have to offer. Situated within a former royal guest house, the personalised service, beautiful pool, spa and stunning dining area take sophistication to an entirely new level. Other guest facilities include rooftop yoga classes and a walk-in wine cellar.
‘Three-day Toum Teav Boat Cruise’ from £295 pp. For a novel way to travel from Phnom Penh to Siem Reap or vice versa guests can treat themselves to a ‘three-day Toum Teav Boat Cruise’. This leisurely adventure in a traditional wooden boat, visits local villages, ancient temples and hilltop shrines while travelling across Southeast Asia’s largest freshwater lake, Tonle Sap. It’s an excellent way to witness real everyday life as this lake is the lifeblood of Cambodia.
Discover secluded luxury in Vietnam – Vietnam is where the Travel Indochina story began and its programme offers a wide variety of trips from the mountainous north all the way down to the Mekong Delta in the south.
The Nam Hai in Hoi An, Vietnam offers six-star secluded luxury a short drive from the historic World Heritage Listed town of Hoi An. Popular with celebrities due to the discreet nature of its staff, the Nam Hai boasts 60 one-bedroom villas and 40 pool villas each with top-of-the-range fittings.
Vietnam’s first five star hotel Sofitel Metropole Hanoi. This recently-renovated landmark colonial hotel has been attracting ambassadors, writers, heads of state and many celebrities since it opened its doors in 1901, with guests as diverse as Fidel Castro, Ralph Fiennes, Robert De Niro, Stephen Hawking and Queen Noor. Guests can enjoy some of the best French cuisine and wine in the city as well as partake in the afternoon chocolate buffet, a long tradition of the hotel.
