Cocooning amid the wilderness, Wild Coast Tented Lodge in Yala is a sustainable architecture triumph, blending into the Sri Lankan landscape with its innovative, bamboo-lattice design
CHIRANSHA PRASAD
TENTED WILDERNESS

Amongst the rocky outcrops of Yala, Sri Lanka, an outlier in a sea of wilderness awaits. Close to the lapping waves of the Indian Ocean, boulder-like structures loom within the bushes. These mammoth cocoons crafted from a clever amalgamation of bamboo, mud and brick are parts of a larger whole, known as the Wild Coast Tented Lodge.

Designed by Nomadic Resorts, the space’s bones are plush with luxe interiors by Amsterdam-based Bo Reudler Studio. Akin to a chameleon, the main pavilion’s facade clad with reclaimed teak shingles blends in with the Arcadian landscape. Amenities like a waterfront bar, restaurant and library rest within its confines. 36 suites resembling anchored airships spread out over the landscape, with an eggshell-white facade housing leitmotifs like curves and circles galore.
