Palatupana, 82600 Yala, Sri Lanka
Wild Coast Tented Lodge - Relais and Chateaux - All Inclusive is located next to the famous Yala National Park, which is known for its high density of leopards. This luxury tented camp is set where the jungle meets an unspoiled beach, with views of the Indian Ocean's blue waters. The lodge's design features arched fabric structures that mimic the shape and color of the surrounding rocks and boulders, and the layout is cleverly designed in the shape of a leopard's paw print. The main buildings are constructed from bamboo to blend with Yala's distinctive rock formations, while the air-conditioned tents provide modern amenities. The open-air Ten Tuskers bar and Dining Pavilion, clad in bamboo, surround the free-form swimming pool. Guests can enjoy daily-changing menus of authentic Sri Lankan cuisine, as well as sundowner cocktails and picnics on the sand dunes at dusk. The lodge offers wildlife education and documentaries in the library. Tours of Yala National Park's quiet areas are available with expert naturalist guides. The Sanctuary Spa, which uses native ingredients like Ceylon Tea and Cinnamon, is situated between the ocean and the bush.
