Cambodia's first luxury wellness resort within the Cardamom Mountain Area, offering transformational retreats in one of Southeast Asia's last pristine wilderness areas.
A Landscape
Beyond Compare
The Cardamom Mountains are recognized globally as one of the planet's most significant biodiversity hotspots. Stretching across southwest Cambodia, this wilderness encompasses montane rainforests that rise from sea level to peaks exceeding 1,800 meters, intercepting moisture-laden monsoon winds that deliver between 3,800 and 6,000 millimeters of rainfall annually.
The result is an ecosystem of extraordinary vitality: over 450 bird species navigate canopies that soar forty meters high. Sixty-two species on the IUCN Red List—including Asian elephants, clouded leopards, and the critically endangered Siamese crocodile—find refuge here. Recent camera trap studies have documented 108 species, many found nowhere else on Earth, including the Samkos bush frog with its remarkable green blood and turquoise bones.
This is not wilderness that has been restored. It is wilderness that has never been lost—protected for over twenty years through one of conservation's greatest success stories, with 75,000 animals rescued and 130,000 snares removed from these forests.
