What it’s like to be Bill Bensley, designer of whimsical resorts

His latest, Shinta Mani Wild, is the fourth in his own BENSLEY Collection and has a wild tale to match. The exclusive, remote 15-tent eco camp in southwestern Cambodia’s Cardamom Mountains sits on a parcel the size of Central Park and was inspired by the true story of Jackie Onassis being hosted on a luxury safari in 1967 by former Cambodian monarch King Norodom Sihanouk.
