A truly authentic wildlife experience on Sri Lanka’s Southern Coast. The Wild Coast Tented Camp consists of 28 cocoon-style tents that look like they have landed from outer space and offer guests an otherworldly, luxury experience. The elevated tents are made of pale PVC-like fabric stretched over a steel sculpture. With portholes punctured in the fabric, as well as angled glass walls, the Wild Coast Tented Camp provides guests with a wholly unique and memorable stay. The open-air, bamboo-clad den and dining room wraps around the resorts enormous free-form swimming pool and presents views of the turquoise Indian Ocean. Fresh local delicacies such as steamed red snapper and okra salad immerse guests in the flavour of the country as they relax in their tropical home-from-home. The camp’s location truly encapsulates the best of Sri Lanka, with its own feverishly unique colour, culture, and abundance of beauty. The beach location is a rarity on safari holidays and is a stunning asset to this camp, as guests can track leopards on safari in the morning, and then walk bare-foot down the golden sand in the afternoon. The jungle-fringed beach is often completely empty, giving guests a feeling of total privacy and relaxation in the slow-paced gentility that is Sri Lankas Southern Seaboard. The Yala National Park is famed for its animal kingdom with thriving populations of elephants, leopards, crocodiles, sloth bears, and eagles; the park has the highest concentration of leopards in the world, with a count of over 200 of these allusive apex predators. The camp offers guests an authentic Sri Lankan escape, combining rich cultural heritage, amazing wildlife and stunning scenery – Yala National Park is the place to visit and Wild Coast Tented Camp is the place to stay.
Set in the mountainous area in the North East of Kandy, this 128-acre resort was named after the Sanskrit word meaning ‘in harmony with’.
