Ayurveda Resort, Weligama |

 Designed
by local architect, Renton Wickramasinghe,
Barberyn’s saffron-coloured buildings
rise just above the tree canopies providing
picturesque views of the Indian Ocean from
every bedroom. The surrounding gardens are
designed by the famous landscape artist, Laki
Senanayake. Ponds, waterways, and pathways
have been created through tropical jungle
leading to the sandy beaches. A Sri Lankan
family-run resort with generations of experience,
Barberyn is an idyllic setting where the crashing
waves of the sea merges with swaying palms
and tropical jungles. The ocean breeze, sounds
of birdcall, the flautist by nightfall, Yoga
at the edge of the sea, and the gentle touch
of Ayurvedic therapists as they soothe your
worries away – a rejuvenating experience
that will fill your being with renewed energy
and vitality.
