Resplendent Ceylon, sri lanka
Wild Coast Tented Lodge
Wild Coast Tented Lodge is adjacent to Yala National Park, renowned for its leopard population. Only here guests will have the unique experience to sit in the safari vehicle in the morning and enjoy the view of the ocean afterwards.
This spectacular luxury tented camp is situated on a rugged, empty beach, overlooking the Indian Ocean. The unique design sees the man-made structures blending seamlessly into the surrounding landscape, thanks to the use of carefully selected natural materials. The use of arched fabric structures allows each of the 28 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. The open-air bamboo-clad Ten Tuskers bar and Dining Pavilion – designed to mirror the boulders scattered across the golden beach beyond – wrap around the resort’s enormous 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.
In addition to daily safari game drives, the lodge offers numerous excursions such as bushwalks, bicycle tours in the surrounding area or a traditional cooking class. Always with respect for the local population and the surrounding nature. Because sustainability is reflected in the properties of Resplendent Ceylon at all levels.
