Overview

Wild Coast Tented Lodge All Inclusive is adjacent to the famous Yala National Park, renowned for its dense leopard population. This luxury tented camp is situated where the jungle meets a pristine beach, overlooking the blue waters of the Indian Ocean. Wild Coast Lodge’s design uses arched fabric structures that allows the tents to take on the shape and colour of the rocks and boulders that lay scattered nearby, whilst a clever layout in the shape of a leopard’s paw print alludes to the area’s most famous resident. While the main buildings, made of bamboo, blend in with the distinctive rock formations of Yala, the air-conditioned tents offer state-of-the art amenities. The open-air bamboo-clad Ten Tuskers bar and Dining Pavilion wrap around the resort’s free-form swimming pool. Guests can enjoy creative daily-changing menus of authentic Sri Lankan cuisine in the restaurant, as well as sundowner cocktails and picnics al fresco on the sand dunes, watching dusk settle over the Indian Ocean. Guests learn about the wildlife in the park and watch documentaries in the library. The property offers vehicles to tour the quietest corners of Yala National Park and expert naturalist guides talk guests through the incredible diversity. The Sanctuary Spa borders pristine ocean and dense bush and uses native Sri Lankan ingredients, Ceylon Tea and Ceylon Cinnamon.

An unforgettable stay filled with incredible people, unforgettable experiences, and memories that will last a lifetime.

Everything was incredible, the location, the staff, the food and drinks, all absolutely wonderful. The safari drivers and guides were amazing too; so knowledgeable, welcoming and genuinely passionate about making the experience special. I had the best time from start to finish and would highly recommend it to anyone considering a stay. They go above and beyond to create something that feels more than just a holiday it’s an experience filled with unforgettable moments and lasting memories.

In my opinion The only place to stay in Yala

Amazing place. No pictures can truly capture it. Service exceptional, food exceptional and the monkeys running and playing on the beach top it all off

A wonderful stay: nature, comfort, and great food in one place — right on the edge of Yala.

Exceptional location — nestled between Yala National Park and a dramatic (and genuinely wild) coastline. We did two safaris guided by the hotel's own staff, who were excellent throughout. The food was the real surprise: genuinely wonderful and varied (and this for an all-inclusive format!). Couldn't have asked for more — thanks to the whole team!

A special, memorable stay, at a cost.

The care and attention to having a perfect, easy stay was unmatched. The chef was great with my serious allergies, and the sundowners drinks on the beach, private pool and watering hole shared by a few other pods (yet separated by foliage) were all super. The safari option is either 3pm on day of arrival or 6am (I think) the next morning and was well conducted - safari gate entrance within a few minutes' of the hotel. Chilled water and snacks box provided (mine was free of allergens, without asking). An elephant and leopard were on the road to the hotel on our return, so it's not just animals in the park. Minibar drinks were included in the room and had a range of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. The furniture and decor had a great vibe, helped by copper bath, printed newspaper and hardback wildlife books. The kids club, gym and reading room were beautifully curated. My three kids had a great time, and families could be guests while maintaining peace and elegance in the property.

Luxury lodge in Yala

Amazing resort and experience throughout, this was the best hotel I've ever been to. Staff was incredibly attentive and meticulous, I would definitely recommend the stay. Strongly suggest the Safari, one drive per day of stay is included in the package.

Magical, absolutely magical

I liked that the staff were very subtle, not in your face and very efficient. This included the restaurant and bar staff, safari and reception, and not forgetting the escorts to walk you up and down the room. The staff were the best part of our stay.

The property was pristine and totally unique to anywhere we’ve stayed before. Absolutely beautiful landscape and the rooms were so comfortable and so well designed. Would have loved to have stayed longer

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at your lodge. It is truly beautiful, and the tented lodge aesthetics were absolutely wonderful. Our daughter especially loved the kids’ club, which made the experience even more enjoyable for our family. Hamid was truly amazing in the dining area — he was a real star and made every meal a pleasure. Our ranger was extremely helpful and friendly, especially as we were travelling with young children, which we really appreciated. While Yala National Park itself was a little underwhelming for us due to our previous experiences in our Kruger National Park in South Africa, the service and hospitality at the lodge more than made up for it. Thank you for a memorable stay.
