About the project
A five-star luxury safari lodge positioned between the wilderness of Yala National Park and Sri Lanka’s rugged southern coastline. Awarded Two Michelin Keys and part of the Relais & Châteaux collection.
The film explores the contrast between raw nature and refined hospitality, using atmosphere, texture and intentional pacing to shape the way the experience of Wild Coast is seen and felt.
Bordering Yala National Park, home to one of the highest leopard densities in the world, the lodge sits where jungle meets ocean. Wildlife moves freely across the grounds, from grey langurs and wild boar at the watering hole to elephants wandering along the beach, turning a simple walk to dinner into an encounter. Paired with the luxury of the tented suites and world-class hospitality, that rare closeness to the wild became the starting point of the film.
