"This hotel is made up of 15 tents on protected private land offering a range of excursions such as mountain-biking, kayaking, orchid-hunting and catch-and-release fly-fishing. Address: Shinta Mani Wild, Prey Praseth Village, Southern Cardamom National Park, Preah Sihanouk Province, Cambodia Telephone: +855 63 964 123 Website: shintamani.com zipline brings you soaring through the canopy of trees to a bar beside a waterfall, and a flamboyant tented camp, vintage in style, as if pegged there for passing royalty back in the day. A shot of tequila in an iced pineapple cordial is offered before you have time to step out of your harness. / What's the story? Cambodian hotelier Sokoun Chanpreda and daring hotel architect Bill Bensley won a parcel of hardwood forest in a logging auction. Their goal: not to chop down the rosewood, ironwood and teak trees. So they set about drawing plans for this tented camp. Shinta Mani Wild is the fourth property for Chanpreda (his first three are in Siem Reap) and the second in partnership with Bensley. / What can we expect in our room? There are just 15, each flamboyantly designed with a vintage feel and a few contemporary pops of colour among the brass fittings, dress-making mannequins, old-fashioned fans, trunks and leather-bound books. Room 1 is the furthest from camp, which also makes it the most private, and there's a seductively romantic rolltop bathtub on the deck beside the white-water river. It's all sumptuously comfortable; there's even a maxibar with cocktail accessories and the tech is remarkably good across the property. / How about the food and drink? Perhaps the biggest surprise is how good the food is here, given the remoteness of the hotel and Cambodia's insignificant reputation for cuisine. Under the guidance of the culinary director Patricia Yeo there's an impressive daily changing menu. Breakfast is irresistible; lunch is crisp cold soups and salads such as pomelo, shrimp and cashews; while the Khmer menu in the evening has greens, mushrooms and fruits foraged from the forest. Everything’s included in the rate. / There are unlimited spa treatments (included in the room rate) and a sensational black steel bathtub-shaped pool. No spa; instead there’s hiking, mountain-biking and kayaking. The minimum age of guests is 13 and there are always butlers around if supervision is required. / It's expensive but worth it. This pioneering tented camp is raising the bar for the region, as well as pledging serious commitment to conservation.
