Yala, Sri Lanka

Yala National Park is Sri Lanka’s second largest, and most visited park, and is said to be the National park with the highest concentration with the leopards in the world. Located on the southeastern tip of the country, it is bordered by the sea on one side, and the expanse of Yala National Park on the other. The Wild Coast Tented Lodge is a UNESCO design award winning luxury tented camp overlooking the Indian Ocean. The unique design blends seamlessly into the surrounding landscape. Wild Coast’s soaring, curved, organic structures are an eye-widening architectural triumph. The bamboo-clad, open-air restaurant and bar are positioned beside a freeform turquoise infinity pool, complementing the Yala bushland-and-beach setting. Tucked away in the wilderness, dazzling Cocoon tented bedrooms and a Sanctuary Spa dot the landscape like scattered seed pods. The Lodge offers game drives with expert naturalist guides who are on hand to talk guests through the incredible diversity of flora and fauna, including elephants, sloth bears and leopards.
