Shinta Mani Wild

At Shinta Mani Wild, the adventure begins before hotel guests even step onto the property. To get there, they're whisked along a zip line over lush forests and waterfalls, after which they dismount for a drink at the reception's Landing Zone Bar.

On the banks of the thundering Tmor Rung river, deep in the Cardamom Mountains, 15 luxurious tents designed with Bill Bensley's tropical exuberance provide a base camp from which to explore the uncharted wilderness.

Remote yet ravishing in every detail, Shinta Mani Wild is the radical luxury retreat just that bit closer to nature.

A National Geographic Unique Lodge of the World, the complex features 15 luxe tents cantilevered over a jungle river, each sporting a theme -National Geographic is one- and an outdoor bathtub.

This is a green beacon of conservation, where at least 75% of staff are locals, tents are suspended to allow migratory movements below, and experiences include patrolling the jungle with Wildlife Alliance rangers.

Suddenly there is a very big reason to stay in Cambodia after seeing the temples at Angkor.

Secured onto one of the Southern Hemisphere’s longest ziplines, glide through the copious canopy of Southern Cardamom National Park, over the bubbling rapids of the Thmor Rung River, where a signature cocktail, such as the light and floral ‘leaf’, awaits in The Landing Zone bar.

From the Cardamom Mountains to the streets of Siem Reap, one of the region's best-known hotel designers is helping to raise the bar for responsible tourism.

Stunning design and serious conservation make a stay at Shinta Mani Wild unforgettable.

Longtemps il a été tentant de résumer le Cambdoge à la cité de pierre d'Angkor… de nouvelles adresses invitent aujourd'hui à découvrir d'autres facettes du pays.

More than just minimising its impact, Shinta Mani Wild aims to benefit the forest and local communities, and this is the very reason for its existence.

A remarkable new Cambodian camp pushes the frontiers of luxury with a thrilling zip-line arrival, decadent tented accommodation, fabulous food, adventurous outdoor activities and indulgent spa treatments

Cambodia’s Cardamom Mountains is the largest expanse of unbroken rainforest left in Southeast Asia and a biodiversity hotspot – and a new breed of tourism offerings and conservationists are working to keep it that way

Glamping is so last season. A handful of new tented camps across the region is setting a new standard for conservationism, while spiritedly and whimsically redefining the luxury-resort experience.

Deep in the heart of a forest in Cambodia lies the proof that tourism and conservation needn’t be mutually exclusive. Shinta Mani Wild is just one of a number of luxury openings in the region taking responsibility to another level

Deep in a pristine corridor of a national park in Cambodia, there’s a new experiential adventure property that invites guests on a wild ride.

When we reached Shinta Mani Wild, where it's possible to zip-line 380m over rivers and waterfalls, there was no way I wasn't going to have a go. So I did -four times. I promise you, it's the most fun you can have in 20 minutes.

Ein Paradies wie aus dem Dschungel-Bilderbuch: An der Nahtstelle zwischen drei Nationalparks verbindet Shinta Mani Wild Abenteuer-Urlaub mit ökologischen und sozialen Aktivitäten. Die Lage ist wahrhaft berauschend, und wer sich traut, schwebt per Seilrutsche zur Rezeption.

A new wilderness retreat is set to reshape Cambodian tourism.

The emphasis of this unique glamping destination is on the word ’wild’, so despite the luxurious nature of one’s tent and the top notch service and cuisine, it may only appeal to the more adventurous souls amongst you. Personally, I had a lot of fun and absolutely loved it, so I encourage you to move out of your comfort zone and experience it for yourself.
