The Shinta Mani Shack garden oasis is located near the Royal Gardens and the Old Market, only 15 minutes away by tuk-tuk from the ancient temple complex of Angkor.
Choose from four room types: executive suite (largest), junior suite, pool view room and poolside garden room. All rooms feature a rain shower, bathtub and either a private terrace or balcony, whilst both suites also include spacious living areas.
This hotel has always had responsible values at its core. In 2003, the first Shinta Mani property opened as an 18-room guesthouse and hospitality centre, which supported underprivileged young people in the area to start a career in hospitality. Learn more about the Shinta Mani Foundation in our Why Wayfairer section below, or learn about the great work the foundation does for yourself with a CSR trip to a local village arranged by the hotel.
However, Shinta Mani Shack does not compromise on luxury, with classic Bensley twists such as mirrored feature walls, custom-designed iron king beds, and handcrafted light fittings adding artistic flair to decor inspired by nature. The property is home to an award-winning spa that offers treatments based on traditional Khmer healing rituals, as well as a selection of dining options to choose from (we recommend the Tasting Menu at Kroya for a sampling of Khmer cuisine), including cookery classes led by the hotel's Executive Chef.
A stay at the Shinta Mani Shack is both indulgent and guilt-free, as your custom helps support the local community and create a positive impact.
Shinta Mani operates with a culture of "Open Doors, Open Hearts," which reflects the group's strong commitment to responsible tourism. The education and development of the city's youth is at the forefront of the group's responsible initiatives, with the aim of helping disadvantaged youth build a career in the hospitality industry at the Shinta Mani Hotel and Institute of Hospitality, as well as through the Shinta Mani Foundation.
A percentage of your daily room rate is contributed to the Shinta Mani Foundation to support the running of the Development Centre, which provides underprivileged young people with an education and the skills to obtain meaningful employment to support themselves and their families. The foundation also provides interest-free, small-business loans to local entrepreneurs, as well as medical and dental health access in rural areas. Another project is sustainable farming, including growing traditional Khmer crops without pesticides or excess fertilisers.
