Shinta Mani Opens Luxurious Tented Camp in Cambodia

A luxury tented camp opened in Cambodia late last month.

The Shinta Mani Wild - Bensley Collection is nestled deep within the wilderness of the South Cardamom National Park, in a pristine wildlife corridor just a three-hour drive south of Phnom Penh, the capital city.

Perched over 1.5km of river and waterfalls, the 14 one-bedroom tents (100sqm) and one two-bedroom tent (140sqm) have been designed to evoke Bensley’s vision of what it might have been like to be on a luxury safari in the jungles of Cambodia with Jacky O’, who travelled throughout the Kingdom with King Sihanouk in 1967.

Adventures include exploring the waterways of one of South East Asia’s last wild estuarine ecosystems aboard a custom Bensley-designed expedition boat; or joining Wildlife Alliance rangers on anti-poaching patrols.

Ever changing menus are inspired by sustainably foraged wild edible plants, as the camp’s naturalists guide guests through the forest to discover – and taste – Cambodia’s natural larder.

The Boulder Spa provides chemical-free Khmer Tonics treatments including a river-stone foot massage while soaking in a waterfall pool.

Rates at Shinta Mani Wild - Bensley Collection start from US$2,345 per night, inclusive of all food and beverage; all private guided activities and excursions; spa treatments; personal Bensley Butler; land transfers from Phnom Penh or Sihanoukville airports, and taxes. Helicopter transfers are additional. A minimum 3-night stay is required and guests must be at least 13 years of age.
