The Cocoon tents at Wild Coast Tented Lodge bring to mind images of an anchored airship. The design of the tents was inspired by the tents of historic military campaigns where elaborate interiors and eccentric dismountable furniture were made for travel. The interiors fuse expedition chic with contemporary design to reimagine the safari experience. Be wowed by handmade copper bathtubs, sumptuous four-poster beds, teak floors, and canvas walls which complement dark leather touches and repurposed metallic hardware effortlessly.
The Cocoon Suites boast vaulted ceilings and jungle views. Taking glamping to a whole new level, the cocoon suites feature four-poster king-size beds with spacious bathrooms that are centred around a free-standing copper bathtub. The outdoor private viewing deck overlooks a watering hole where you’ll be able to catch a diverse array of fauna and flora while you eat breakfast or enjoy a refreshing drink before dinner.
With the same vaulted ceilings and jungle views, the Cocoon Pool Suites offer the same luxuries with the added benefit of a private plunge pool. There are only four of these suites available at Wild Coast making them the most exclusive rooms onsite. Enjoy safari views from the comfort of your viewing deck, soak up the sun and cool off in the pool, or simply sink into your mattress after a day of game drives and bush walks. Handmade bath amenities await you along with stylish contemporary features throughout the room.
The family Cocoon Suites are a comfy sanctuary for both you and your kids. The main cocoon houses the master bedroom and bathroom while the Urchin is uniquely designed to tickle the senses and trigger the imagination of children aged eight and above. The Urchin contains two single beds and provides your kids with their own separate space just a stone's throw from the main Cocoon. Enjoy an outdoor shower, viewing deck, and a selection of Dilmah tea.
Wild Coast Tented Lodge is located adjacent to Yala National Park in Sri Lanka. The park’s vegetation features a mix of grasslands, forests, scrubs, lagoons, and almost everything in between. It’s home to 44 mammal species and 215 birds, all of which are protected today. Yala National Park is also believed to have the highest concentration of leopards in the world.
Dining at Wild Coast Tented Lodge is all about modern Sri Lankan cuisine. The restaurant, Ten Tuskers Bar, and Library are housed in two dome-shaped pavilions that have been crafted from a woven grid shell bamboo structure clad in reclaimed teak shingles. Large arched openings and high vaulted ceilings create a sense of space and welcome the fresh sea breeze. Both pavilions are connected via a bridge that stretches over the pool beneath.
Feast on gourmet safari cuisine which features an array of traditional Sri Lankan dishes with a Wild Coast twist. All meals on the menu have been inspired by nature and the freshness of local produce. The restaurant itself is dome-shaped and focuses on sculptural elements made of coated mud brick seating and natural wood tables. To counterbalance the simplicity of the mud brick, copper highlights have been added throughout leaving the place relaxed, welcoming, and at one with its natural surroundings.
