Wild Coast Tented Lodge is one of Sri Lanka’s foremost luxury hotels. Its exceptional design is what really sets it apart: a vast swimming pool winds through the restaurant, décor blends bamboo and copper, and rooms are housed in semi-tented ‘Cocoons’ for seamless indoor/outdoor living.

Poised on the shoreline close to popular Yala National Park, Wild Coast guests are treated to daily private game drives in the park where an abundance of wildlife can be found including the elusive leopard. Expert guides accompany the guests in premium jeeps. Lavish gourmet food is served.

The spacious Cocoons have high ceilings, teak floors and double-glazed canvas facades, furnished with a king-sized bed, air-conditioning, and elegant ensuite bathroom with hot-water shower. The Cocoon Pool Suites have the addition of a beach-facing private pool, while the Family Cocoons have an adjoining 20sqm Urchin tent containing a pair of twin beds.
