Tucked deep within Cambodia’s Cardamom Mountains, Canvas & Orchids Retreat offers a rare blend of barefoot luxury and ecological integrity.
Formerly known as the 4 Rivers Floating Lodge, this boutique eco-resort floats serenely on the Tatai River, accessible only by boat—a fitting prelude to the immersive experience that awaits.
The retreat comprises 15 tented villas, including eight floating tents and five island tents, each designed to evoke the elegance of African safari lodges. Interiors are thoughtfully curated with handmade furniture crafted from locally sourced materials, complemented by soft textiles, natural tones, and panoramic river or jungle views. En-suite bathrooms, private balconies, and amenities such as flat-screen TVs, minibars, and in-room safes ensure guests enjoy all the comforts of a high-end hotel, without compromising the retreat’s low-impact ethos.
A proud member of Green Pearls®, Canvas & Orchids Retreat adheres to a philosophy of sustainability and community engagement. All structures are non-permanent, built by local craftsmen using traditional tools, and designed to leave no lasting footprint. The resort’s operations – from water conservation to waste management – reflect a deep commitment to preserving its pristine surroundings.
Guests are invited to slow down and reconnect with nature. Paddle through mangrove channels by kayak, swim in the crystal-clear river, or embark on a sunset cruise featuring Cambodian cuisine. For those seeking deeper immersion, jungle treks and guided wildlife excursions reveal the rich biodiversity of the region. The retreat’s tranquil setting and intimate scale make it ideal for couples, solo travellers, and families alike.
Located on Koh Andet Island, near Tatai, the resort sits roughly halfway between Phnom Penh and Bangkok, making it a compelling stop for travellers seeking a restorative detour. With its seamless fusion of luxury and environmental stewardship, Canvas & Orchids Retreat is more than a place to stay – it’s a place to exhale, reflect, and be gently reminded of nature’s quiet grandeur.
Whether you’re drawn by the promise of floating villas, the allure of jungle-fringed rivers, or the integrity of a resort that truly walks the green talk, Canvas & Orchids Retreat offers a stay that’s as meaningful as it is memorable.
