Get ready for a luxury camp experience like you’ve never seen before. The concept behind Shinta Mani Wild in Cambodia is innovative and inspiring. With a firm focus on high-end design, a homely welcome and an ethos to protect its surroundings and residents, Shinta Mani Wild – The Bensley Collection – is, as it describes itself, a Private Nature Sanctuary set deep in the heart of the Cambodian rainforest.
Working in partnership with the local people and appropriate bodies, the retreat always keeps front of mind how to conserve and protect the wilderness, as well as ensuring that tourism benefits the locals as much as the owners.
Accommodation is in 15 custom-designed tents perched above the river and in view of fast moving rapids. A holiday here is more than just relaxing, it is an opportunity to explore wild frontiers and rainforest, where you may see wild elephant, bear, gibbon and tiger. Meander on one of the estuary boats along the waterways or trek out with experienced rangers. Culinary excellence means amazing meals, combining locally foraged delicacies with global gastronomy. And for a complete indulgence, head to the ‘Boulders Spa’ – where you can enjoy treatments and relaxation. A holiday here is a tonic for the soul.
