Glamping in Cambodia has a New Benchmark

Glamping in Cambodia has been taken to a whole new level by the team at Canvas & Orchids Retreat – this was the first tented boutique hotel to place luxury safari tents directly on a river atop carefully designed and anchored pontoons. Set within the Cardamom Rainforest, guests are immersed within pristine nature, the floating tents anchored over the gently flowing Tatai River and the family tents on the riverbank nearby, the beauty of nature is all around you. 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 where the Tatai River meets the sea. Witness and enjoy one of nature’s most enchanting magic-shows when clouds of fireflies come out in the evening to dance their dance over the river. Take a guided hike well off the beaten path on the majestic and unspoilt Cardamom Mountains spotting the rich variety of wildlife, birdlife and flora as you explore the rainforest. Meet the locals and learn about life on the river and in the rainforest. 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!
