Property info

Far away from the busy cities, tucked away in a quiet corner of the Southern Coast, right on the doorstep of Sri Lanka's famous Yala National Park, lies a secret place that not many people know of... dotted by giant sand dunes akin to the ones found in the Sahara and the rare stretch of natural coastal scrub jungle, lies a small Glamping Retreat... looking over the glistening waters of the Indian Ocean. Nestled amongst the sand dunes and the jungle, each luxury tent has been customised to keep you comfortable during the hottest days and chilliest nights. Elephant, leopard and sambar still roam freely around here as we are right on the doorstep of Yala National Park. If you are a lover of camping and still enjoy all the creature comforts.. then come experience the glamping life at Back of Beyond Dune Camp in Yala for a truly memorable holiday in Sri Lanka!
