Luxury tented camp adjacent to Yala National Park - where jungle meets the Indian Ocean

Accommodation

Wild Coast Tented Lodge offers 36 Cocoon Pool Suites and Family Cocoon Pool Suites, each with outdoor decking and a private plunge pool. The tented structures are shaped like boulders scattered along the coast and laid out in a leopard's paw print - a nod to the park's most famous resident. Every suite has air conditioning, a private bathroom, and a tea/coffee maker.

Dining

Guests dine at the open-air bamboo-clad Ten Tuskers bar and Dining Pavilion, which wraps around the free-form infinity pool. Menus change daily and feature authentic Sri Lankan cuisine, with seafood platters that include local lobster, prawns, and crab. Sundowner cocktails are served on the sand dunes each evening, and private beach dinners under the stars can be arranged.

Safari & Wildlife

Each night's stay includes one daily game drive into Yala National Park, led by expert naturalist guides who track leopards, elephants, and sloth bears. The lodge has priority access to quiet corners of the park, ensuring uncrowded wildlife viewing. Guests can also explore Bundala National Park for birdwatching or join guided nature walks within the property.

Wellness & Activities

The Sanctuary Spa borders pristine ocean and dense bush, offering massages, body scrubs, facials, and spa packages that use native Sri Lankan ingredients such as Ceylon Tea and Ceylon Cinnamon. An outdoor swimming pool with sun loungers and a fitness centre are available, along with yoga classes and bicycle rentals. The library contains natural history specimens and documentaries about local wildlife.

Family & Sustainability

A dedicated Junior Ranger program engages children with nature through guided activities and educational materials about Yala's ecosystem. The lodge uses local materials and eco-friendly practices, and its design received a UNESCO Design Award. Families can book Family Cocoon Pool Suites, which include two separate sleeping areas connected by a wooden walkway.
