Love To Explore Rating: Business Class

Wild Coast Tented Lodge is a remote safari lodge, set along the south coast on the fringes of Yala National Park. The unique tents are shaped like cocoons, inspired by the boulders which can be spotted on the nearby beach. Inside each of the spacious, vaulted cocoon tents, guests will find luxurious four-poster beds and copper freestanding bathtubs. Each one feels very private, dotted throughout the jungle. The lodge operates on an all-inclusive basis, including all meals and drinks as well as a daily game drive to nearby Yala National Park, for the opportunity to see over 40 different mammals and 200 bird species, including leopards, sloth bears and jackals. Visit the lodge’s well-stocked library after game drives to read books on the area's wildlife and see specimens and fossils found nearby. The restaurant is housed in a large dome-shaped bamboo pavilion, with archways running around the building allowing the refreshing sea breeze to pass through. The restaurant serves delicious Sri Lankan cuisine with a contemporary take, drawing on inspiration from the nearby Malay community from the neighbouring village; Kirinda. The Wild Coast Tented Lodge is a unique lodge in an unforgettable location.

At Love To Explore we would recommend the resort for these unique selling points:

  • Relais & Chateau property
  • Unique and luxurious tented accommodation
  • All-inclusive meal basis and included game drives

“A stylish safari lodge, with luxurious tented accommodation and gourmet cuisine”

FAQs

Why book a tailor-made holiday with a luxury travel specialist?

The best trips feel effortless, but behind every seamless journey is thoughtful planning and genuine expertise. A luxury travel specialist brings first-hand destination knowledge, trusted recommendations and personalised service to every itinerary, ensuring your holiday is shaped around you. From choosing the finest hotels and experiences to managing all the finer details, tailor-made travel allows you to make the most of your time away without the stress of organising it yourself.

What types of holidays do you specialise in?

Love To Explore specialises in thoughtfully crafted journeys designed entirely around each individual traveller. From slow, sun-drenched escapes on idyllic Indian Ocean islands to immersive, adventure-led safaris through the African wilderness, every trip is shaped by personal style and pace. While Africa and the Indian Ocean remain at the heart of what we do, our trusted network of local experts allows us to extend far beyond, opening the door to extraordinary destinations across the globe.

How far in advance should I book a holiday?

There is no single rule when it comes to booking your next escape, as every journey is completely bespoke. Whether you’re planning a special milestone trip years in advance or seeking a spontaneous last-minute escape, we can help shape it at any stage. That said, for the best choice of boutique lodges and the most sought-after properties, we recommend beginning the planning process around nine months to a year ahead, allowing the widest possible access to availability and experiences. For certain safari lodges and iconic seasonal moments, such as Japan’s cherry blossom season, we would advise planning up to two years in advance.
