Six Luxury Vacations That Will Also Appeal to Your Inner Do-Gooder

Shinta Mani Wild - Cambodia 
Where it is: The four-­hotel brand, co-owned by famed
architect Bill Bensley, includes three properties a stone’s throw from Angkor
Wat; the latest is a glamorous tented camp outside Siem Reap in southwestern
Cambodia’s Cardamom Mountains.
Why you’ll love it: The Shinta Mani Angkor-BENSLEY Collection consists
of 10 bi-level villas ( from $450 a night), each with its own plunge pool,
butler, and bas-relief wall murals. And Shinta Mani Wild, set along waterfalls
and rapids in the remote mountains, has a regal feel in its 15 plush tents (
from $1,900 a night), with gold canvas walls and freestanding outdoor tubs.
How it’s helping: The Shinta Mani Foundation’s Institute of Hospitality
provides tuition-free job training for at-risk youth. The organization also
builds homes and wells (more than 1,500 so far), donates livestock and school
supplies, funds medical and dental care, and provides microloans to
entrepreneurs. Now, with Shinta Mani Wild, it’s also overseeing the protection
of a critical 860-acre wildlife corridor between Phnum Bokor and Kirirom
national parks.
