Wild Coast Tented Lodge Palatupana, Yala, Sri Lanka Get directions
"A luxury-tent safari camp on Sri Lanka's southeast coast, located between a beach and Yala National Park, home to diverse wildlife." - Mark Fedeli
"A Relais & Châteaux retreat set on a sliver of dryland forest between Yala National Park and the Indian Ocean in Sri Lanka. The tented accommodations resemble cocoons and include luxurious suites with four-poster beds, copper claw-foot tubs, and minibars made from vintage leather trunks. The lodge offers a blend of refined elegance and untamed wilderness, with freely roaming wildlife including elephants, sloth bears, grey lemurs, leopards, and cobras." - Christine Chitnis
"A striking, all-inclusive 28-suite resort built in tented, cocoon-like structures on a dryland forest strip between a national park and the ocean, where wildlife such as elephants and even leopards roam freely through the grounds. The property integrates conservation into operations — treating wastewater and releasing it into watering holes and funding projects for inland elephants and endangered dugongs — while delivering high-end comforts (four-poster beds, claw-foot tubs, refined dining). Chefs are inventive with limited local ingredients and will happily prepare off‑menu favorites such as classic string hoppers for breakfast." - Prasad Ramamurthy Prasad Ramamurthy Prasad Ramamurthy is a former Condé Nast Traveller, India editor with over two decades of reporting experience.
