Country Side Adventure

The ox cart is used in Cambodia both as a means of travel and as a mode of tractor for the locals in harvesting their crops- usually rice or cassava. Pulled by an ox guided by someone with a short rod to direct him, the ox cart is a gentle rolling ride. Tours and excursions can be arranged for guests looking to have a better understanding of the local lifestyle and see the villages first hand. The cart will roll along clay roads and across busier intersections giving guests a relaxed ride while learning about local customs and the home life of the Khmer people from our experienced guides.



Khmer Wine Making

Cambodia is a very traditional country with culture going back more than a thousand years. The Khmer people pride themselves on their long history, resilience, and traditions. Among the most popular traditions are those that celebrate important events in their lives and a part of those celebrations include imbibing of traditionally made beverages. Rice Wine is most popular.



Shinta Mani Foundation Organic Farm

The Shinta Mani believes in food safety and seeks to establish a model farming practice. Through a partnership with the World Vegetable Center and USAID we have established an experimental farm to test more hardy varieties of traditional Khmer crops. We are growing vegetables that grow better, are more pest resistant, and do better in extreme weather conditions. We are proud that we are doing so without the aid of pesticides and an excess of fertilizers. Instead we are using age old practices of specific seed selection combined with crop rotation and natural pest repellants such as planting Marigolds or using Citronella extracts to ward off pests.

OVERVIEW

Bensley Collection Shinta Mani Siem Reap Villa Bedroom

Bensley Collection Siem Reap offers 10 luxury private oasis villas shaded by the gardens of the royal residence, ensconced within the vibrant streets of Siem Reap, near the magical Angkor Wat temple complex. Each villa offers 156 sqm across two pavilions including a floor to ceiling glassed bathroom with views over the garden and outdoor bathtub and rain shower. Inside the living space, three dimensional murals have been carved to render the romantic folds of Jayavarman’s robe – one of the Khmer Kings known for his powerful pioneering spirit – the perfect complement to such exquisite surrounds. The villas come with custom designed furniture and a private plunge pool. As tempting as it is to hide away in your villa, we encourage you to explore, especially since we have our own eateries to steer you to.

Try the seasonal, seven-course Khmer Tasting Menu (inspired by the local harvest) at Kroya, pause for a sundowner at Bensley’s Bar, or sample a selection of fine Khmer beef farmed and aged locally at The Steakhouse. Spoiling spa treatments include our house-made Khmer Tonics, which can be taken on the rooftop or in the privacy of your villa. Our simple, distinctly indigenous approach to wellbeing spans healing rituals to stress-busting and balance-setting therapies, which riff on traditional Khmer herbs and wisdom. Angkor Wat is far from the only reason to visit Siem Reap. Experience the vibrant and colourful contemporary culture of the people that live here, too. Modern day charisma comes from art, performance, food, crafts, song and dance unique to this region of South-East Asia. Discover it for yourself — just borrow one of our bikes, always available by the front door.
