Resplendent Ceylon has unveiled a series of new guest experience enhancements at
Wild Coast Tented Lodge, further elevating its offering as one of Sri Lanka’s most
distinctive luxury safari retreats. Officially opened on 5th January 2026, these thoughtfully
designed additions deepen the lodge’s connection to Yala’s extraordinary natural
environment while enriching the overall guest journey.

Nestled between the Indian Ocean and Yala National Park, Wild Coast Tented Lodge has
introduced four new spaces that blend seamlessly into the surrounding dunes, boulders, and
wilderness.

The Dune Lounge is an open-air retreat set among the dunes, created for relaxed
sundowner moments and quiet reflection in nature. With panoramic views and a tranquil
atmosphere, it offers guests a serene setting to unwind as the sun sets over the landscape.

The Quarry is a refined fitness space inspired by Yala’s raw geology, designed to support
strength, movement, and renewal. Framed by natural textures and earthy tones, it provides
an immersive wellness experience that connects body and environment.

The Fossil Room is an engaging learning and play space for young explorers,
celebrating biodiversity and ancient life. Through interactive displays and nature-inspired
activities, it encourages curiosity and a deeper understanding of Yala’s unique
ecosystem.

The Trunk is a curated boutique showcasing locally inspired crafts, thoughtful
mementoes, and conservation-led products. Each piece reflects Sri Lanka’s rich cultural
heritage while supporting sustainable and ethical practices.

These new enhancements reflect Resplendent Ceylon’s continued commitment to creating
meaningful, nature-led luxury experiences that honour Sri Lanka’s landscapes, wildlife, and
communities.

Malik J. Fernando, Chairman of Resplendent Ceylon, commented, “Wild Coast Tented
Lodge was conceived as a sanctuary where guests could experience the raw beauty of Yala
in comfort and style. With these new additions, we are further enriching that vision – offering
spaces that invite relaxation, discovery, wellness, and connection with nature. Each element
has been thoughtfully designed to reflect the spirit of the destination while enhancing the guest experience.”

Recognised with a Michelin Key and a member of the prestigious Relais & Châteaux
association, Wild Coast Tented Lodge continues to set benchmarks for immersive,
sustainable luxury in Sri Lanka.
