캔버스 & 오키드 리트리트

Probably one of the most chilled places I have visited. So relaxing and peaceful. The floating tents are fabulous and just sitting on your terrace gazing at the river is such a great way to destress. The staff are so friendly and food is excellent. I’d highly recommend a visit

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

We were genuinely inspired by the thoughtful personal touches provided by the staff throughout our stay. Just a few examples that made our experience truly memorable: Each morning, hot water and freshly baked cookies were delivered right to our tent for a cozy start with coffee. The staff took the time to introduce us to the gardener, who was not only responsible for the beautiful surroundings but also kindly managed the tent’s curtains during rain. A friendly mechanic personally came by to introduce himself and assured us that any issues would be addressed immediately—such attentive service! We stayed for 2 nights, but it felt far too short to soak in everything this magical place offers. The comfort, care, and serene atmosphere make it an ideal retreat. We strongly recommend staying at least 3 nights to truly experience the charm and relaxation this place provides. It's simply perfect.

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 setting is nothing short of magical. We arrived through the mountain road from Battambang which is largely unpaved but in the midst of massive investment - it was a 6 hour drive through the beautiful scenery of the Cardamom Mountains and a far superior drive compared to the one from / to Phnom Penh. From the embarkation point you sail for 30 minutes on a traditional longboat soaking up the atmosphere of the river. The sense on arrival is awe inspiring. Staff is enthusiastic and incredibly welcoming and helpful. Tents are very spacious and comfortable. Well appointed also. Plenty of fans though of course no air conditioning and the tents get quickly very hot in the morning but are fine in the evening and at night.

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
