The Best Hotels Near Wild Coast Tented Lodge, by the Record

Architect-designed "cocoons" sit between a white-sand beach and Yala National Park, where leopards and elephants do their thing on the other side of a very stylish canvas wall. This luxury tented lodge holds a Michelin 2 Keys distinction and leans hard into the safari-camp fantasy, with rangers, game drives, jungle monastery visits, and a spa for when the wilderness gets too real. Owned by Dilmah, the tea situation is, predictably, excellent.

1. Michelin Guide 2 Keys

A clifftop resort on Sri Lanka's southern coast where some rooms look straight out to the Indian Ocean and certain villas open directly onto the beach. The large pool anchors the grounds, but there's a spa running Ayurvedic programs, yoga, tennis, a kids club, and enough bars and restaurants that you could eat Sri Lankan one night and Italian the next without leaving the property.
