4 Rivers Floating Lodge, Tatai River, Cambodia joins HotelSwaps

November 28th 2014

 

No roads, no neighbours, just nature at this simple yet stylish 12-tented lodge that floats on the crook of southwest Cambodia’s Tatai River.

 

Cambodia’s southern coast is an area in development, with plenty of wild rainforest, waterfalls and beaches to be discovered by adventurous travellers. Below the Cardomom Mountains, and about 40 minutes by road from border town Koh Kong, 'glamping' at this floating lodge is an exercise in total seclusion and peace.

 

The only way in is by boat: 20 minutes of bird spotting until you round a bend and suddenly the white tents of 4 Rivers Floating Lodge come into view, contrasting with the greenery on either side of the glassy-calm water. You alight onto the central terrace, between the 2 flanks of 6 tents and in front of the central restaurant, and probably won't set foot on solid ground again for the rest of your stay.

 

Basking in the sun, the whole 800 sqm resort can be seen from this central spot, making it an intimate place. The lounge provides alfresco shade, and there’s a living room-cum-library, but expect to spend most of your time relaxing a deux on your sundeck. Ideal for couples, each has double or twin beds, and a bathroom with a wooden Hinoki tub. But bathing is best done by stepping down the ladder from your deck, straight into the Tatai River - the largest freshwater pool in the world.

 

HotelSwaps is pleased to welcome 4 Rivers Floating Lodge as a new destination in its international network of hotel members.
