Then there’s the spa, cleaved into the hillside and offering lemongrass teas, hot herbal massages, and wellness rituals (my favorite is the Signature Yao Noi Journey, with its coconut scrub and Thai herbal steam) that last for hours and leave me glassy-eyed, in a good way. Others include the breezy villas with their driftwood canopied beds, sunken sea-view bathtubs, and decks large enough to cartwheel across the sunny staff who make guests feel only-child special and the communal half-moon infinity pool set high in the hills forming a crescent above the bay. The sunrises are just one of the reasons I’m always angling to return to this tropical-island resort. I’m not an early riser, but I would change the habits of a lifetime if every morning looked like those at Six Senses Yao Noi. In a flash of scarlet and flame orange, the day arrives, greeted by the unfurling of lotus flowers and the calls of hornbills, kingfishers, and coucals. The Andaman Sea is seemingly lit from beneath in a preternatural shade of cerulean. Silhouettes of dragons appear on the horizon: the jagged limestone karsts of Phang Nga Bay. It begins with a subtle shift from indigo to violet, starlight fading in the night sky. Doubles from $920 (all-inclusive, minimum three nights). For all its grin-inducing whimsy, this is the real thing. Shinta Mani Wild is no airy piece of greenwashing. Among scores of river- and forest-based adventures, the most fulfilling was joining an anti-poaching patrol team, whose sheer love for the minutiae of the jungle belied the AK-47s slung across their shoulders. I could thrill to the snappily dressed staff ushering me to take a river safari or eat wonderful foraged food in the main tent.

This meant I could properly enjoy one of the decadent, whimsically themed tents along the river, and the house-made herbal tonics in the thatched spa, against the happy background hum of the Raging Sister waterfall. No, it’s the fact that Bensley bought an 865-acre swath of magical, orchid-rich rain forest between three national parks to protect it from logging, mining, and poaching. To me, the most thrilling thing about the place isn’t that you arrive by army four-wheel-drive and then zip-wire over the forest canopy, your grins met with a Khmer G&T beside the rushing river. Shinta Mani Wild is an even deeper immersion into nature-specifically, the lush wilderness of southwestern Cambodia. I first came across the work of Bangkok-based American Bill Bensley when I stayed at the Capella Ubud in Bali, a joyous feat of maximalist storytelling in the jungle.
