Canvas & Orchids Retreat

The location is beautiful and peaceful. The tents are luxurious with everything you want. We loved waking up for a swim in the river followed by a coffee on our deck. The river is clean and perfect for swimming, kayaking and paddle boarding. The food is delicious and the staff lovely. Well worth visit

Went there as a couple and with friends, and we were all enchanted by this place. The location and environment are unique, on the Tatai River surrounded by jungle and mountains. It’s the most beautiful area I visited in Cambodia. Beyond the location, the resort is also unique with large floating or on land tents with the comfort of a luxury hotel. Very good food and services on top of all these make it an amazing experience for an immersive nature retreat.

A wonderful retreat where you feel immersed in nature. We enjoyed boat trips to see sunset, waterfalls and the mangroves and a local village. Also an early morning hike in the forest.. The staff are very helpful and give a very warm welcome. Particularly recommend the waterfall trip and taking 3 days at this lovely spot.

The most amazing relaxing location and the friendliest staff you could wish for. Idyllic! The set menus each night were surprisingly varied and nicely presented. Cocktails not great but it didn't matter given high standard of other aspects. So great that it has given locals opportunities to stop them hunting and preserve the rainforest, while also teaching them English and hospitality. Loved the night time firefly trip, jungle hike and waterfall trip. Thanks to all ＜3

Peace, Serenity and Beyond! (LONG POST AHEAD) This place is highly recommended! Dont let the road contruction at last part sway you off from coming to this beautiful location, Im telling you it is all worth it, Me and my wife travelled here last September, and i can still remember the feeling of traquility and hospitality offered to us. Once you arrived at their receiving port you will be offered cold towels and drink to freshen up yourself from the long ride. The sight at the port is already breathtaking as the river is sourounded by lucious trees and plants you can even hear the the birds chirping when there are no boats around, You will then take a 15-20 minutes boat ride to arrive at the location. The last minutes of this journey is the most enjoyable as you will see the floating tents resting and floating in the island banks, it was such a sight to see. Once at the dock you will be greeted by Paulo (the head of the team) and he will explained all the neccessary and extra things that you could do during your stay, it was a full briefing and we really enjoyed the knowledge that he shared to us. After the quick briefing you will then be escorted to your luxurius tent! (JUST WOW!) We were surprised and astonished as to how they brought everything a hotel can offer in such a secluded place. ( i wont spoil anything you just have to see it for yourself) The place is quite large as they have their own place where you can play volleyball and a place to play board games and stuff! we stayed at the far end tent so you need to walk to get to the kitchen and bar area. It also amazing that they are growing some of their own vegetables and most of their staff are also the people living in the island! (Talk about sustainability!) We didnt do much on the first day as we just wanted to relax and enjoy the place, the bar was really enjoyable although the place were secluded in the jungle and river, there are ample selection of liquor and wines, you can even request for a cocktail! The selection of their snack is also awesome as they have a combination of western, asian and local dishes you wont really feel limited with the choices they offer not to mention the portion for the price are really generous! During night time as we go out for dinner we were invited by Bona to watch a small presentation regarding the Cardamom mountains and its habitats. It was a short but an amazing presentation as they showed us the footage of their camera traps installed inside the forest just close to the vicinity of the place. ( again i wont spoil what the footages are but it was amazing) Oh I almost forgot before the show start you will have a first hand taste of their local liquor! (not sure if you can buy it from them tho!). Bona also explained to us how engaged Canvas and Orchids are with community projects with village residents, It such a heart warming story especially with the school they have built for the children in the island. I believe Bona was the h

Staying at Canvas and Orchids Retreats was an unforgettable experience. From the moment I arrived, I felt completely at peace—beautifully isolated from the noise of the outside world. The setting is incredibly serene, with stunning floating tents surrounded by lush nature and gentle waters. It’s the perfect place to truly relax and unwind. What stood out even more was the impeccable service. The team is warm, attentive, and genuinely thoughtful. The owners were present throughout our stay, always making sure every guest felt welcome and taken care of. Their presence and personal touch added so much to the experience. Another reason this place is so special is their commitment to sustainability and the local community. They actively support local people through employment and sourcing, which makes your stay feel even more meaningful. It’s inspiring to see a resort that combines luxury with real purpose. If you’re looking for a peaceful escape, with heartfelt hospitality and values that go beyond just tourism, this is the place. I left feeling recharged, inspired, and already dreaming of my next visit.
