Why it's unique

A radical fusion of design, hospitality and conservation, Shinta Mani Wild allows guests to experience the beauty of the surrounding jungle.

The 15 tents evoke a regal-meets-presidential atmosphere (each has a personal butler), and guests awake to the howls of gibbons and can swim in the surrounding natural pools.
