Shinta Mani Angkor, Cambodia

Overview

Set deep within the jungles of Cambodia’s Cardamom Mountains, Shinta Mani Wild is a bold conservation-driven lodge created by renowned designer Bill Bensley. Accessible only via a zipline into the canopy, it offers a radically different luxury experience – immersive, remote, and purpose-led. The camp sits on a 1,000-acre private nature sanctuary that links three national parks and plays an active role in protecting the surrounding wilderness.

Each of the 15 custom-designed tented suites is perched along a rushing river or waterfall, with expansive decks, handcrafted furnishings, and outdoor bathtubs overlooking the jungle. Interiors are adventurous yet indulgent, filled with safari-era treasures, bold prints, and vintage curiosities. Every detail is bespoke, from the brass fittings to the handcrafted campaign furniture.

Guests are invited to engage with the lodge’s conservation efforts – from joining Wildlife Alliance rangers on anti-poaching patrols to foraging in the forest with the chef. Dining is hyper-local, cocktails are crafted with wild herbs, and spa treatments are delivered in riverside pavilions. With no buffets, no mass tourism, and a deep commitment to sustainability, Shinta Mani Wild offers one of Asia’s most extraordinary and meaningful luxury stays.
