Trust hotelier extraordinaire Bill Benseley to conjure up a tented fantasy in some remote edges of Cambodia that is not only hard to get to but also impossible to leave. The gorgeous jungle settings notwithstanding, every aspect and moment of this luxury boot camp is designed to etch onto one's memories, from the zip-line arrival above the jungle canopy to the surprising daily meals and never-ending rounds of booze to the most placid ride down a surreally still river, Shinta Mani Wild is every bit a primordial fantasy come true.

Nearly half of Cambodia may be coastal frontiers but there really is a dearth of good resorts in the country. Fortunately someone found Song Saa island a while back and developed an eco-resort so sublimely luxurious, it remains a secret known only to a few. Firstly, it isn't easy to get to, but once there, one is bathed in luxury and immersed in unearthly bliss. Exploration is also an option there, as there are inhabited islands nearby where a visit may just fire up the anthropologist in you.
