Wild Coast Tented Lodge
Crouched among the bushland on Sri Lanka’s southern coast, Wild Coast Tented Lodge is a remote safari camp made up of luxurious, cocoon-like lodgings. Inspired by the egg-shaped boulders strewn across the beach, the tents have a unique, dome-like shape that’s crafted from thick French canvas. On the inside, they recall a time of great expeditions, featuring teak floors, leather chairs and freestanding copper bath tubs – but there’s also WiFi, a sound system and air-conditioning, keeping you cool and connected. There’s an open-air restaurant, sumptuous spa and an infinity pool on site, but the greatest attraction is just outside the lodge itself: Yala National Park, one of the most wildlife-rich areas in the whole of Sri Lanka.
The lodge sits on a tree-clad stretch of Sri Lanka’s southern coastline, just outside Yala National Park.
