Sublime landscapes, rich cultures, and ancient traditions come together in Herbert Ypma's latest exploration of the Orient, a region that has captivated the Western imagination since the days of Marco Polo.

Discover extraordinary Hip Hotels that offer unique experiences, such as the Umed Bhawan Palace in Rajasthan, an art deco marvel that remains home to the former Crown Prince. Alternatively, unwind at a guest villa of King Sihanouk in Cambodia, now an Aman hotel, perfect for relaxing after exploring Angkor's magnificent temples.
