Yala National Park: Raw, Untamed Nature

The Wild Coast Tented Lodge offers discerning guests a collection of guided, curated, and narrative-based wilderness experiences. Our team of rangers are qualified, passionate, and eager to share and interpret the riches of the surrounding National Parks' biodiversity with nature-loving guests. Through them we showcase the entire spectrum of nature - while leopards play a leading role in our theatre of the wild, they are not the only actor on our stage - from our geology, botanical diversity, critters, mammals, birds and reptiles.

Birdwatching at the Wirawila Tissa Sanctuary

The ranger team's guiding style is to interpret all aspects of the wild, paying attention to the entire spectrum of nature from tiniest of critters, plant species, birds, reptiles and amphibians, to the larger and charismatic mammals such as elephants, bear, and leopard. Each day, our team of rangers will consult with guests and advise which sectors of Yala, Lunugamvehera and Bundala national parks would be best to visit.

The Fossil Room

Conceived as a cabinet of curiosities dedicated to children, The Fossil Room allows them to learn about the astonishing biodiversity and ancient history of Yala through play and self-discovery. Amid its warm wood paneling, display cases are filled with treasures, while other adventures are revealed within its interactive spaces or under the microscope. Guided workshops, creative sessions and hands-on activities all nurture the curiosity of young minds and budding explorers.

Unusual suites in the heart of the vegetation

Veritable cocoons set along the ocean shore and surrounded by lush vegetation, the rooms of the Wild Coast display a truly unusual architecture. Vaulted ceilings, colonial style, copper bathtubs and four-post beds go hand in hand with teak floors, cream-colored stretched canvas walls and the presence of leather which, here and there, gives the whole a delicately chic touch.
