Barberyn Sands Ayurveda Resort in detail

Hotel

Barberyn Sands Ayurveda Resort is set on a peninsula between the Bentota River and the Indian Ocean. Surrounded by lush greenery, its idyllic setting and welcoming, family atmosphere make it a unique place to enjoy first-class Ayurveda treatments or simply unwind. Professional Ayurvedic treatments, complemented by yoga and meditation, and delicious Ayurvedic cuisine are standard at all four Barberyn resorts. From Bentota, a short boat ride across the river takes you to Barberyn Sands, with spectacular views of the surrounding area.

Location & Surroundings

Miles of sandy beaches await you in Bentota, a popular tourist town on Sri Lanka’s south-west coast. Bentota Beach is known for its golden sand and inviting setting, perfect for relaxing. Enjoy long walks through lush tropical scenery and take a welcome break from the pace of everyday life. The nearby Bentota River is ideal for boat trips and river safaris through mangrove forests.

Food & Drink

Food is seen as “prana”, the life-sustaining energy. Ayurvedic cuisine is healthy and supports the healing process, which is why the Ayurveda doctor tailors dietary recommendations to your individual needs and health concerns. Ayurvedic full board consists of vegetarian dishes featuring fresh vegetables and fruit, with fish served occasionally, and meals are enjoyed together in the dining room. In the afternoon, enjoy tea; in the morning, fresh juices are served on the terrace by the pool. Meat and alcohol are consciously avoided.

Health & Cures

Experience authentic, high-quality Barberyn Ayurveda to support your health and wellbeing. A team of 25 skilled, experienced Ayurveda doctors provides expert care every day across all four Barberyn resorts, and is also on hand to offer guidance at mealtimes. The wide range of Ayurvedic treatments includes oil and herbal stamp massages, steam baths, cleansing treatments (Panchakarma), shirodhara oil treatments and acupuncture. Ayurvedic medicine is supplied by the Barberyn Institute of Ayurveda and Alternative Medicine (IAAM), while fresh herbal decoctions are prepared on site. Yoga, meditation and pranayama (breathing exercises), held every morning before breakfast, are also an important part of the Ayurvedic programme. Meditation is occasionally offered as an additional activity, or you can practise it in the peaceful surroundings of the Buddha shrine. Ayurvedic cooking classes, talks on Ayurveda and evenings celebrating local culture round out the holistic Ayurveda experience.

Leisure

Relax in the garden, surrounded by beautiful greenery that opens onto a long, wide sandy beach, or unwind by the resort’s pool. There’s plenty more to enjoy, from beach walks and a spot of shopping in Bentota (a short walk or boat ride away) to excursions such as visits to Galapota Temple, a boat trip along the Bentota River and the turtle sanctuary. The resort also has currency exchange, a laundry service and a small shop. Water sports are available around 500 m away.

It was a relaxing holiday where every member of staff cared about the guests' wellbeing, which stood out especially in such a lovely, small complex.

eindrucksvoll, aufregend, anstrengend
