Resplendent Ceylon (Relais & Châteaux)

Wild Coast Tented Lodge

Bedouin-style cocoons where the jungle meets the ocean.

Our verdict

Wild Coast is the most architecturally ambitious luxury tented camp in Asia. Twenty-eight cocoon-style suites sit on the border between Yala National Park and the Indian Ocean — wake to leopards in the dawn and the surf at dusk. The Resplendent service standard is the same as Tea Trails and Cape Weligama. Pair with two nights at Cape Weligama for the perfect south-coast safari pairing.

Questions about Wild Coast Tented Lodge

Wild Coast or Chena Huts?

Wild Coast for the design and the Resplendent service standard; Chena Huts for the larger cabins and more beach-leaning feel. Either way, two nights minimum — leopards are never on demand.
