Wild Coast Tented Lodge

Dramatic ocean views, endless beaches, dreamy star-studded skies, and plenty of wildlife make Wild Coast Tented Lodge a fabulous hideaway. Perched at the southern tip of Sri Lanka, in the heart of Yala National Park, Wild Coast, it’s a place where the ocean meets the jungle and accommodation meets relaxation.

This Relais & Chateaux accredited property boasts 28 luxury tents that sit in the shape of a leopard’s paw print. Designed to mirror the boulders scattered across the beachfront, the tents are decorated with teak and leather and come complete with amenities from Wi-Fi to a sumptuous minibar. Adding to the perks are outdoor verandas and private decks. Families can stay in the family cocoon suite.

Dining is a joy here as guests are served gourmet safari cuisine at the lodge’s Bamboo Dining Pavilion overlooking the Indian ocean, or on the beach garden under a canopy of stars.

There’s also a spa bordering the pristine ocean where you can absorb a native wellness experience after a wild day of leopard-watching.
