Shinta Mani Wild rethinks wellness for modern travellers

Cambodian luxury jungle camp Shinta Mani Wild recently shifted gears to deliver an all-inclusive Wellness at WILD stay that both sparks the spirit of adventure in travellers whilst reconnecting them with nature.

An exhilarating journey awaits guests, and the adventure begins with a breathtaking 400m zip line ride, soaring above the lush forest canopy, meandering river, and cascading waterfalls. 

Guests then land at the Landing Zone Bar, where the camp’s general manager and a dedicated Bensley Adventure Butler await their arrival, ready to guide them through an extraordinary Cambodian jungle expedition.

Drawing inspiration from the ancient secrets and pristine wonders of the forest, Shinta Mani’s Wellness at WILD experience is thoughtfully tailored to meet each guest’s unique wellness needs. 

A private adventure butler is assigned as a trusted companion, ensuring that every moment of a guest’s stay is curated to perfection.

A different approach to holistic wellness

Among the many highlights of Wellness at Wild, one not-to-be-missed wellness activity is sunrise yoga atop the magnificent seven-storey Far East Zipline Tower. 

From this awe-inspiring vantage point, witness the captivating transition of the jungle from night to day. 

Embark on a guided walk through the forest to reach the tower, where a rejuvenating yoga class awaits. 

After harmonising body and mind, one may embark on an adrenaline-filled zip line ride to Headquarters, where a wholesome breakfast awaits, nourishing you for the adventures that lie ahead.

Bask in the tranquil embrace of nature and be captivated by a range of WILD wellness activities. 

Whether it’s practicing yoga, meditation or breath-work, guests have the freedom to enjoy these rejuvenating disciplines amidst breathtaking surroundings: atop the far east tower, on the private deck of your tent, at our riverside platform near Headquarters, or beside the opulent pool the Cistern. 

Those staying in may also indulge in unlimited Khmer Tonics Spa treatments, meticulously crafted to revitalise the senses, enabling them drift off to the ethereal sounds of a transformative sound bath experience.

The more adventurous can channel their inner explorer by foraging in the forest in order to savour the flavours of the camp’s plant-forward cuisine. 

They can set off on invigorating hikes amidst majestic ancient trees and feel the exhilaration as they plunge beneath wild waterfalls. 

Or they can opt for mountain biking adventures through the local village, connecting with the vibrant energy of the surroundings. 

A haven for conservation

Described by founder Bill Bensley as a utopia of sustainability, Shinta Mani Wild’s comprehensive conservation and community programs are spearheaded by the Shinta Mani Foundation and include the provision of long-term employment opportunities to local inhabitants where there is minimal infrastructure and fewer work prospects. 

Shinta Mani Wild, in conjunction with the Foundation, nurtures its natural environment through a partnership with respected conservation NGO Wildlife Alliance.  

This extreme exercise in ingenuity enables guests to explore this pristine wilderness, while making the lowest possible impact on the land, offering an all-inclusive luxury adventure with intimate access to one of Asia’s most stunning forest ecosystems.
