Canvas and OrchidsCambodia/Canvas+and+Orchids
 

Set on a bend in the Tatai River in West Cambodia the Canvas & Orchids Retreat is a boutique glamping eco-lodge comprising of 8 floating and 5 island tents. Built to the highest standards and inspired by the luxury safari tents as used by the best lodges in Africa, comfort and safety are assured. Offering a mix of floating tents and island tents, the floating tents are set on anchored pontoons that float on the river and are perfect for couples or up to 3 guests, and the 2-bedroom island tents, set amongst gardens on the bank of the river, are ideal for families with the master bedroom set with a king bed and the second bedroom set with twin single beds. Both the floating tents and island tents at Canvas & Orchids Retreat enjoy private en-suite bathrooms with showers, and all the comfort and luxury a room at a boutique hotel would provide with carefully selected décor, handmade furniture crafted from locally sourced materials, TV and free-view movies, minibar and in-room safe. Everything at the resort has been designed with making as minimal an impact on the environment as possible. Canvas & Orchids Retreat blends within its surroundings, very much a part of the locality, and working closely with the local community too with hotel staff, activity and nature guides, all coming from the local area.

Enjoy peaceful moments sat on the terrace of your floating tent listening to the rich birdlife as you gaze out across the river to the pristine forest and mountains beyond. Take an in-room traditional massage after a day kayaking down river or exploring the coastal mangroves. See one of natures most enchanting magic-shows, clouds of fireflies dancing over the river! Take a guided hike well off the beaten path on the majestic and unspoilt Cardamom Mountains. Meet the locals and learn about life on nearby Andet Island. There is so much to see, learn, explore, discover and enjoy in a stay at Canvas & Orchids, just be sure to book a long enough stay!

Your Hosts and The Team


“Often, eco-tourism conjures up visions of uncomfortable beds, leaky tents and songs round a campfire, this is not the Canvas & Orchids Retreat experience. Our vision for the perfect vacation in unspoilt surroundings is to offer top-of-the-line luxury served in harmony with Mother Nature, to give her a chance to impress you with an ever-changing kaleidoscope of colours and images. Relax and let your senses take over with the rustling sound of a small creature in the tangled undergrowth on the shoreline, a flash of colour as a bird rises out of the jungle and the cymbals, bells and musical notes of a traditional roneat ek (xylophone) blowing in the wind. Canvas and Orchids Retreat has been designed to be at one with it’s nature-rich home and at the same time be part of, and work with, the local community in promoting and fostering the soft tread of an environmentally aware footprint to protect our unspoilt home.”

A truly unique glamping experience, the Floating Tented Villas at Canvas & Orchids Retreat were the first floating tents for glamping in the world. At 45sqm they comfortably sleep 2 guests on either a large double bed or twin single beds and can sleep a maximum of 3 guests with the addition of the sofa-bed (additional charges apply). Designed with protecting the environment in mind at all times, the Floating Tented Villas enjoy excellent ventilation and are set with ceiling fans and do not need environmentally unfriendly air-conditioning as a result. Clever wastewater management ensures the tents and bathrooms do not pollute the river water. Bathroom amenities are also fully environmentally friendly. Each floating tent is set with a private terrace, ideal for relaxing with a sundowner after an enjoyable day discovering Cambodia’s richly varied and wonderful nature.
