Secluded among 350ha of untouched jungle in the foothills of the Cardamom Mountains, is the isolated Shinta Mani Wild. The Cambodian resort’s 15 Bill Bensley-designed villas abound in art, antiques and quirky themes, ranging from traditional Khmer to botanical, bohemian, bird-watcher and even Jackie Kennedy (based on her 1967 visit to the country). Perhaps more remarkably, the entire project was constructed without felling a single tree and exists as an effort to protect the Cardamom’s endangered species from poachers and loggers.
