UNESCO Design Award-winning safari camp adjacent to Yala National Park
Accommodations
Wild Coast Tented Lodge Yala is a UNESCO Design Award-winning property with tented structures shaped and colored like the boulders scattered nearby. The 28-air-conditioned suites are laid out in a leopard's paw print, a direct reference to the area's most famous resident. Each Cocoon Pool Suite has its own outdoor decking and plunge pool.
Safari & Wildlife
The lodge provides vehicles to tour the quietest corners of Yala National Park, with expert naturalist guides leading each drive. Wild Coast Tented Lodge has priority park access and takes guests directly to the front of the queue. Guests see elephants, leopards, and sloth bears during morning and afternoon game drives.
Wellness
The Sanctuary Spa sits between pristine ocean and dense bush, offering body treatments made with local ingredients. Treatments use native Ceylon Tea and Ceylon Cinnamon in massages, body scrubs, and wraps. The spa has an open-air bath, outdoor swimming pool, and yoga classes.
Dining
The open-air bamboo-clad Ten Tuskers bar and Dining Pavilion wrap around the free-form swimming pool. Guests eat creative daily-changing menus of authentic Sri Lankan cuisine in the restaurant or on the sand dunes. Sundowner cocktails and picnics are served on the beach watching dusk over the Indian Ocean.
Family Offerings
A dedicated Junior Ranger program engages children with nature through activities led by naturalists. The library has natural history specimens and educational resources about local wildlife and ecology for all ages. Babysitting and child services are available for families traveling with young children.
