As you set foot in Tatai Village, you’ll be greeted by a serene ambience that seems untouched by time. The village rests along the picturesque Tatai River, offering you breathtaking views and a sense of tranquillity that can only be found in nature’s embrace. The Cardamom Mountains stand tall in the distance, their lush green peaks reaching for the sky. These mountains, a haven of biodiversity, will leave you in awe as you explore their pristine trails, discover hidden waterfalls, and encounter rare plant and animal species.
While nature takes centre stage, Tatai Village itself offers a glimpse into the simplicity and warmth of traditional Cambodian life. The local community, predominantly Khmer villagers, welcomes you with open arms, eager to share their customs and ways of life. Witness their daily activities, from fishing on the river to tending their bountiful crops. You’ll find solace in the gentle rhythm of village life, far from the stresses of the modern world.
But the wonders of Tatai Village do not end with the mountains. Just a stone’s throw away lies the mesmerising mangrove forest, where the Tatai River meets the Gulf of Thailand. Here, you can immerse yourself in a labyrinth of winding waterways, surrounded by a symphony of vibrant flora and fauna. Glide through the mangroves on a boat and let the sunlight filter through the dense canopies, casting an ethereal glow on the emerald waters. The mangroves teem with life, offering you a glimpse of exotic bird species and an abundance of marine creatures.
To complete your extraordinary journey, you can rest, rejuvenate and reflect on the beauty that surrounds you at Canvas & Orchids Retreat. With 8 floating and 5 in-land luxury safari tents, we promise you and your family and friends an unforgettable glamping experience amidst the lush greenery of the rainforest and the tranquil Tatai River.
At Canvas & Orchids Retreat, we consider our crew as family. Our family staff team consists of local Cambodians who are fully responsible for the operations of the lodge and restaurant. All our team members are passionate about nature, wildlife and providing you the best service possible.
As soon as you step off the boat our welcoming staff will greet you, headed by resort manager Ravy. Every member of our highly trained staff team shares our commitment to hospitality. They are our most precious asset and each one wants to make sure you have a comfortable and memorable experience. They are the ones who will share and brighten up your day.
The majority of the crew working at the resort originates from nearby villages or from the island itself. Before becoming employed at Canvas & Orchids Retreat, some of them practiced illegal logging and poaching for a living. This means they know a lot about the forest, the river, the flora and fauna and they are keen to share this in-depth knowledge with you every day.
The resort also employs graduates from Pour un Sourire d’Enfant (PSE) school in Phnom Penh, helping disadvantaged children gain skills and experience in gainful employment.
