Wild Coast Tented, recipient of the UNESCO design award, stands as a magnificent luxury tented camp situated at the meeting point of the jungle and a pristine beach, commanding breathtaking views of the Indian Ocean. Its distinctive design effortlessly integrates with the natural surroundings.

The Cocoon suites, a testament to innovation and ingenuity, evoke the image of anchored airships. Spread throughout the beachfront jungle wilderness, 28 Cocoons resemble giant seed pods. Each Cocoon features a wooden patio, some with plunge pools strategically positioned to capture views of the nearby watering hole.

Inside, an air-conditioned haven awaits, exuding vintage-explorer charm with copper accents, rich-red leather camp-style furniture and luxurious four-poster king size beds. Sisal and Persian-style rugs add texture and colour, while the majestic copper bath with leopard-paw claw feet serves as a constant reminder of the jungle surroundings.

Guests will also be able to visit the bamboo-clad, open-air restaurant and bar, which are accompanied by the freeform turquoise infinity pool, harmonising with the Yala bushland-and-beach backdrop.

Spend days in the pool or in the crystal clear waters of the Indian Ocean, or head inland and explore the Yala National Park. Teeming with extraordinary biodiversity, the park offers unparalleled wildlife experiences. Home to the largest population of leopards in Sri Lanka, Yala also shelters elephants, sloth bears, mugger crocodiles and a diverse array of birdlife. The knowledgeable and passionate rangers, with a keen eye for detail, provide more than just facts on safaris and nature walks; they offer a profound respect for the wild. Observing them interpret signs of wildlife adds a captivating narrative, making each outdoor drive and walk a unique and memorable experience.
