Most hotels begin with a lobby. Shinta Mani Wild begins with a decision. Guests arrive by zipline, flying over the river and into the Cardamom Rainforest.
This is not a resort check in. It is the moment you cross into the wild.
Fifteen luxury tents. Each with its own animal name, position and personality. At Shinta Mani Wild, the tents are characters in the Cambodian rainforest, not room categories.
Some sit close to waterfalls. Some listen to the river. Some are made for drama, some for quiet mischief. All are large, private and close enough to the jungle to remind you that walls are sometimes overrated.
An all exclusive experience at the Cardamom Rainforest.
At Wild, everything is bundled into your room rate, the helicopter aside. Meals, drinks, activities, transfers, unlimited spa treatments and wellness including yoga and meditation are all part of the stay.
We have shaped the whole experience for you in the Cambodian jungle, and we do not want anything getting in the way of it.
Shinta Mani Wild protects 350 hectares of Cambodian rainforest. But the real story is bigger, a 3,500 hectare watershed of ridgelines, forested slopes, springs, streams and waterfalls.
The ridgelines are the natural fortress of Wild. Defending the watershed to those ridgelines is how we keep the water clean. And water is everything here.
Shinta Mani Wild is Bensley’s own jungle book: 15 stilted, secluded, air conditioned but old world tents… each with a vast porch and an outdoor tub from which guests can hear the occasional gibbon hoot.

Shinta Mani Wild is no airy piece of greenwashing. For all its grin, inducing whimsy, this is the real thing.

It's all about the wild here…, but modern comforts are never forgotten: boats have a bar and sun loungers, chef, foraged food is exceptional, and there's a spa that's just a splash away from the waterfall.

When we reached Shinta Mani Wild, where it’s possible to zipline 380m over rivers and waterfalls, there was no way I wasn’t going to have a go. So I did four times.
