Luxury Holidays At Wild Coast Tented Lodge

Lying on a deserted beach on Sri Lanka’s southern coast, the Wild Coast Tented Lodge is aptly named. Intentionally designed to meld with the landscape, this exceptional resort comprises 28 luxurious tents which mirror the shape and colours of the boulders strewn along the shoreline and boasts an open-sided bamboo-clad dining pavilion and a vast freeform swimming pool. The camp’s biggest attraction is arguably its neighbour, the wildlife rich and much loved, Yala National Park. Yala is renowned for its population of leopard (from the air, the camp resembles a leopard’s paw) and a diverse habitat of bushland, rocky outcrops, grassy plains, and sandy beaches. Included safari experiences take guests deep into the park by 4WD or on foot, in search of bears, crocodiles, leopards, and the elephants that are often spotted frolicking in the waves. There is also a prolific bird population. Dining in the pavilion is a memorable experience showcasing delicious Sri Lankan cuisine with the sights and sound of the bush around you, whilst the Ten Tuskers Bar is reminiscent of the pioneer camps of old, with low slung leather chairs, and an impressive bamboo chandelier gently swaying above the bar. Carefully curated experiences also include jungle monastery visits, rural bicycle tours and the Sanctuary Spa, where you can indulge in a little pampering between safaris.

Accommodation:expand_more

Seemingly crouching throughout the landscape like some otherworldly being, the cocoon tents take their inspiration from the early pioneers, where great luxury was not sacrificed for the sake of travel. Evoking an atmosphere of the past, yet firmly in the present, these unique spaces offer teak floors, canvas walls, dark leather, four-poster beds, and handmade copper baths. Private decks overlook a watering hole, designed to attract an exceptional array of flora, fauna, and birdlife.

Luxury Family Holidays

Fire the imagination of the children and get them to step away from their phones as they head out into the bush with Junior Ranger experience. Under the intuitive guidance of a ranger they'll learn how to pitch a tent, build a campfire, and learn the art of bush craft including how to identify animals from their tracks. (Suitable for children aged 10 years and over)


Wildlife Encounters

Embark on a game drive that is a little different to the norm. Operating within a public national park the passionate ranges will showcase the whole range of biodiversity that can be found within the borders of the park. Leopards, bears, and elephants are a highlight of the Yala National Park, and you'll see much more besides. Guided nature walks are also included and are one of the most immersive ways to explore the wilderness. The highly trained rangers are skilled in the dying art of bush craft and this makes for a superb wilderness experience.
