Resplendent Ceylon is delighted to announce the unveiling of 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.
