Cambodia, in Southeast Asia, is often on the gap year tourist trail. But if you step off that trail, guess what you’ll find?
Yep, lots of really great yoga retreats.
Practice pranayama within a stone’s throw of the famous Angkor Wat, and discover the mysteries of Cambodian culture.
While it may not currently rank among the most popular yoga retreat destinations in the world, such as Bali, sometimes that fact alone is reason enough to consider visiting it.
Read on to find out why yoga retreats in Cambodia could be just what you're looking for. And check out this list of the top retreats available this year.
Why choose Cambodia for a yoga retreat?
Cambodia’s history really comes alive when you get there.
In Siem Reap, for example, you can visit Angkor Wat — a UNESCO world heritage site since 1992, it’s the largest religious monument in the world.
It’s covered in incredibly intricate carvings telling the story of the Khmer empire.
But even if history isn’t your thing, Cambodia has so much to offer.
Gorgeous islands and beaches give you a chance to relax and bliss out (or even party!), and the wildlife here is not to be missed. Birds, monkeys, lizards… plus tropical plants aplenty.
Speaking of which, Cambodia is known for its national parks. Ream National Park is kind of amazing; you’ll find rivers, estuaries, coral reefs and beaches there. Or head to Kirirom National Park if you’re more of a mountain spirit.
Traveling in Cambodia is relatively affordable, and that’s often reflected in the price of yoga retreats.
You can find an immersive, transformative retreat at a price that won’t destroy your bank balance for the next five years.
We’ve included a few of those budget-friendly gems on this list!
Some of the best places for a yoga retreat in Cambodia include…
- Siem Reap: A culturally rich town within easy reach of the incredible Angkor Wat
- Mondulkiri: a sparsely populated province of Cambodia, with pristine natural landscapes (and a few hidden yoga retreat gems!)
- Koh Russey Island: Also known as Bamboo Island, it’s a gorgeous little island with stunning beaches and wildlife
