Yala National Park, Sri Lanka
Dining guide
Wild Coast Tented Lodge Dining Guide
Meals sit in the open Dining Pavilion — Relais still calls the pair the bamboo-clad Den and Dining Pavilion — with Sri Lankan breakfasts, daily-changing island plates and seafood when the boats run. Ten Tuskers is the pool bar: hyperlocal cocktails under a bamboo chandelier. Private tables on the beach, the dunes, a bush lunch or jungle high tea when the naturalists clear it. Fully inclusive Relais rates fold meals and bar pours into the stay. Reserve a dune supper when you book the cocoon.
