Perched on the borders of Yala National Park, Wild Coast Yala is a unique tented lodge and luxury hotel in Yala that emerges through copper-hued treetops as a beacon of refined luxury, claiming its rightful place amongst the most esteemed accommodations Sri Lanka has to offer.
One of only three Relais & Châteaux properties in Sri Lanka, this luxury safari lodge in Yala showcases a unique architectural ethos of the Lodge, with its tented “cocoons” as a deliberate nod to the encircling wilderness, allowing those of discerning taste to immerse themselves in the splendour of Yala without forgoing 5-star luxury.
The lodge’s masterful fusion of rugged wildness with unparalleled luxury is the essence of the property's appeal to honeymooners.
Game Drive! The resort, after all, is a wildlife lodge! An expert group of naturalists will take you through the jungle on modified Jeeps to see Sri Lanka’s famed wildlife. If you’re lucky, you might spot a leopard before breakfast!
Each Cocoon is a standalone structure embedded within the jungle scape, featuring private plunge pools and sun decks. A honeymoon couple can be lost in their own world, knowing full well that five-star room service is just a buzzer away.
A UNESCO design award-winning game lodge, each cocoon is a masterclass in elegance, invoking a certain nostalgia for safari lodges of yore. Four poster beds, bronze bathtubs, sprawling wooden decks leading to oasis-like plunge pools and handmade luxury bathroom amenities are on offer, as you might expect from a luxury hotel. But in this case, the luxury of the accommodation is not in grandiose buildings or lists of amenities, but the sheer variety of minute touches in each pavilion, creating a profound sense of purpose and place, like the hotel was designed with just you in mind.
Wild Coast Tented Lodge is also celebrated for its impeccable service, with the waitstaff offering near butler-like attention. The culinary offerings are sophisticated, blending the rich tapestry of local flavours with the finesse of international cuisine, all while championing organic, locally sourced ingredients. The safari expeditions, conducted under the guidance of seasoned naturalists, afford guests an intimate acquaintance with the park’s diverse ecosystem, making for an enlightening and utterly unforgettable experience.
