Wild Coast Tented Lodge is a 36-tent safari camp located adjacent to Yala National Park, on the southern tip of Sri Lanka. Rocky outcrops scattered across the landscape are echoed into the organic architecture of the camp that integrates seamlessly into the site. The interiors celebrate local craftsmanship and high-quality materials that age gracefully and capture a feeling of exploration and wonder. Sustainability, landscape, architecture and heritage are intertwined in the design of the resort, celebrating the flora, fauna and culture of the area with minimal intrusion on the landscape.
