Cardamom Mountains Retreat – Forest lodges, waterfalls, and wildlife sanctuaries.

Deep in Cambodia’s southwest, the Cardamom Mountains shelter one of Southeast Asia’s last great rainforests. Here, luxury takes the form of stillness: lodges built of bamboo and glass beside emerald rivers, morning mist tangled in canopy leaves. You trek with naturalists through trails scented with wild ginger, past waterfalls veiled in moss. Hornbills glide overhead, and the forest hums with unseen life. Afternoon brings river swims and canoe rides beneath vines, and at night, stars scatter like offerings on the water. Each evening, dinner is served by candlelight—farm-to-table Khmer dishes infused with forest herbs. The silence is profound, broken only by the rush of the river. In the Cardamoms, you rediscover what connection truly means—to the earth, to others, to the stillness within.
