Kep
The hugely friendly Tara Lodge gets a big tick for its split-level bungalows with wide verandas and all the mod cons, secreted within a verdant garden of palms and flowers, and set around a glistening pool. This is a secluded spot for some serious downtime. The upstairs terrace-restaurant serves excellent Khmer and French food and has views to Bokor.
The massage pavilion is sublime.
