Canvas & Orchids Retreat | Glamping in Cambodia

A True Hidden Gem – Pure Tranquility, Exceptional Hospitality, and a Heart for Sustainability 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.

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.

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.

A Magical Escape at Canvas & Orchid, Tatai Our stay at Canvas & Orchid in Tatai was nothing short of magical. Nestled in a stunning riverside location, the floating tents offer a unique and immersive experience in nature. The ambiance is serene and romantic, making it the perfect getaway for couples. What truly sets this place apart is the exceptional staff, who go above and beyond to ensure every guest feels special. Their warmth and attentiveness made our stay even more memorable. Whether it’s waking up to the peaceful sounds of the river or enjoying a breathtaking sunset from the deck, every moment here feels like a dream. If you’re looking for the ultimate romantic retreat, Canvas & Orchid is the place to be. Highly recommended!

Set on the river, this location is ideal for peace and quiet in a beautiful setting. The staff are so thoughtful, kind and helpful- nothing was too much trouble. The daily sunrise and sunset was incredibly picturesque. You can swim / kayak in the river from your own accommodation or go on trips to the waterfalls or mangroves. The glamping tent was very well equipped and we had 2 fans- but could have more if required - NB no air conditioning. Definitely a back to nature feel to this and well worth a visit.

The floating tents are very comfortable, making you feel pampered and cared for, so you can fully unwind and enjoy the beauty of the river and jungle around you.|Waking up to the sounds and view of the jungle and river is unforgettable.|Our family loved kayaking and swimming in the Tatai River.
