Located just ten minutes from the entrance of Wilpattu National Park, Claughton Wild is a boutique luxury safari lodge that beautifully blends modern minimalist design with the raw, untamed beauty of the Sri Lankan dry-zone forest. Built with a deep respect for the surrounding environment, the property operates as a vibrant “living garden” where endemic birdlife and small mammals roam freely. This eco-conscious oasis provides a tranquil, sophisticated escape for wildlife enthusiasts, couples, and families looking to immerse themselves in nature without sacrificing high-end comfort.
The lodge features 10 spacious units designed to bring the outdoors in through large, glass-fronted walls, split evenly between 5 Luxury Superior Chalets crafted from natural timber and stone, and 5 Modern Lodges built with eco-friendly materials. When guests aren’t exploring the park on personalized leopard and sloth bear safaris, they can relax by the central swimming pool, dine under the stars in a serene paddy field, or unwind in the open-plan pavilion. Located just 40 minutes from the ancient ruins of Anuradhapura, it stands as the ultimate base for experiencing Sri Lanka’s rich wildlife and cultural heritage.
