THE GREEN ERA AWARD FOR SUSTAINABILITY
Frieden, aber auch innerer Frieden sind wichtige Aspekte in Barberyn’s Vision der menschlichen Entwicklung In der für Barberyn einmaligen Art und Weise wurde zur Feier des heurigen Tags des Friedens ein Kunst & Handwerks-Workshop für 175 Kinder im Onkologischen Krankenhaus in Maharagama abgehalten. Einen weiteren Kunst & Handwerks-Workshop gab es für die Vorschulkinder der Anamali und Chitramali Vorschulen, die von Barberyns Sahana Stiftung geleitet werden.
Ausstellung zum Thema “Ayurveda und nachhaltiger Tourismus”. Die Ausstellung zeigt die Verknüpfungen zwischen Ayurveda, Tourismus und Nachhaltigkeit. Barberyn’s eigene “Vision der menschlichen Entwicklung” geht über die “drei Säulen” der nachhaltigen Entwicklung, die von der internationalen Gemeinschaft gefordert werden, hinaus und beinhaltet sogar die Unverletzlichkeit des Lebens und den Inneren Frieden.
KOMMENTARE VON GÄSTEN
Es ist weit über 40 Jahre her, dass wir unsere ersten Gäste bei Barberyn begrüßen durften. Wir haben große Freude daran, so viele Menschen – und manchmal auch schon ihre Kinder – willkommen zu heißen.
Über die Jahre erhielten wir oft wundervolle Kommentare und Anregungen von unseren Gästen, die wir an dieser Stelle gerne mit Ihnen teilen möchten.

This is our first trip to Sri Lanka and our first Ayurveda experience and we are enjoying it to the fullest. And all the more since the staff are so welcoming, smiling and efficient. We are convinced our health and well being will benefit from your Ayurveda expertise. We will make sure that more French speaking people become aware of this little paradise.

I enjoyed every minute of my holiday at the Barberyn. People are friendly, caring and compassionate. The yoga classes were a dream so was the Tai chi. The Ayurveda treatment made me relaxed and I forgot all the stress of my busy life! The restaurant service excellent and the food delicious. Not to forget the beautiful location.
I am looking forward to my next visit and next time it will be for 3 weeks!
Thanks to all the wonderful staff at Barberyn.

It is first time for me and my mom in your country.
First my mom was hesitating of going to the country so far from Kazakastan.
But now we decided to come back to the place of paradise – Barberyn.
We would like to thank special thanks to all people who made our staying here amazing. There is no word to express our gratitude to the best treatment, best food and best people.
Thanks to all – doctors, receptionists, Yoga teachers, cooks – to everybody.
And see you in 2011!!!

I stayed at Barberyn Reef Resort around a week. My friend who had stayed here strongly recommended to stay at this resort. She was right!! Staff is very friendly and helpful I felt always welcomed with their smile. Treatment was very professional and I was relaxed. Treated like a princess in the herbal bath with the lady pouring the warm water from my upper body, arm, legs n toes. Nowhere else I would get this treatments. Incredible hospitality!!
The food is excellent!! Was amazed only with vegetables various dishes have been created, and most importantly it was delicious! Healthy too. I am very much looking forward to cooking classes on Monday.
The room was kept clean always and was given hot water and mosquito mat everyday. First time in Sri Lanka, and will not be the last time. Thank you so much for your hospitality!!

DR UTA HOYER & MS URSULA THIEL(Germany)
After a long journey and many travels to exotic and beautiful places I found something very special. Inside I felt like a piece of Flotsam and Jetsun worked up on the beach after the storm. This inner turmoil has been calmed and re joined because of the nurturing and nourishment to every part of my being. Even the parts that resisted and held on to the old habits. There is so much kindness, honesty and integrity in the very foundation of this place. All who work here are so generous and giving. So much to thank you all for, from a very grateful and rested traveler.

I was recommended two charming Sri Lankan seaside retreats, both owned by the family-run Barberyn Resorts, an award-winning pioneer of the ayurvedic retreat concept. I chose Barberyn Reef, a quaint resort near the rolling surf on the island’s south-westen coast, close to the town of Beruwala…

“What’s your Spa Prescription”
As far as the ayurvedic approach goes, Barberyn in Sri Lanka is the real deal on-site doctors, hand-made treatments concocted from the centre’s own herb garden, a strict ayurvedic diet, and days which start and finish with an hour-long yoga class...

“An ayurvedic adventure”
I thought the beauty of the place alone would heal me. The sister resort of Barberyn Reef, the first Ayurvedic resort in Sri Lanka, Barberyn Beach is set on a hillside overlooking a palm-fringed beach. The 15 acres of grounds have been beautifully landscaped, and the views in every direction are stunning. Sitting on the hillside by the pool, you can gaze out at the sea and at the stilt fishermen, perched on their spindly-looking sticks. From the moment I arrived, I was in heaven…

“Karmic paradise”
Back in 1968, long before Ayurveda started becoming popular in the west, MrSudano Rodrigo used his foresight and founded Barberyn reef resort, it was the first resort in Sri Lanka to provide authentic Ayurvedic healing holiday. And treatment to foreign guests. The Rodrigo family still runs the resort and recently opened the magnificent Barberyn beach resorts at Weligama, further south from the capital Colombo among the coastal Galle Road.
Places such as Barberyn have become increasingly popular just as Ayurveda and more holistic forms of medicine and health have gained credibility in the west. Ayurveda philosophy respect for human individuality and believe s that each persons health is made up of the harmonious interactions of the body, the mind and the living environment.

“Welligama Wellness Holiday”
On a spectacular beach in Sri Lanka an unusual healing resort offers more than a suntan. Chami Jotisilikorn reports on the amazing effects of an all-natural Ayurvedic holiday.
“This is my third time doing a detox holiday at Barberyn resorts, and what keeps me coming back, in addition to getting detoxed, is that I always meet interesting people on every visit.”
The resort in Weligama is the second property in the resort group. The original property is located up the coast in Beruwala, 80 km from Colombo. It was founded 36 years ago by Sudana Roderigo at a time when healing resorts were virtually unheard of. Over the years Barberyn has built a strong reputation and a loyal following of return guests through word of month.
Authentic Ayurveda healing is the total integration of individual diagnosis, daily traditional treatments by trained professionals, the correct diet and proper medications. These provide a holistic life style that’s best experienced in a dedicated environment. When this environment is a spectacular beach setting, it only helps to speed the total healing process.

“Detox from FESTIVITIES”
Joan Koh checks into a week-long ayurvedic retreat in Sri Lanka to discover new meaning to clean living
There’s much to be said about celebrating the excesses of the season, and the penalties that must follow in order to keep your body in check. Thankfully, compensating doesn’t necessarily have to be painful. With Christmas and New Year behind us, and 15 days of Chinese New Year feasting ahead, it’s best to plan ahead to detox your system – and where better to do so than in Sri Lanka, as I found out.
I consider myself as living rather healthily. I’ve shunned red meat for seven years now and detox with a fruit-and-vegetable diet frequently. I exercise regularly and I know my aging body appreciates it, but a treat at Barberyn Reef Ayurveda Resort is something else.

“Beach Breaks”
Beach Breaks
A Beach is a beach . Or so you’d think. For something so universal—a stretch of sand and some water—they elicit very personal responses. Here are just a handful of our personal favorites.
A Reef-Freshing Break
At Beruwala, a long reef runs parallel to the beach for 200 meters, creating a protected tidal lagoon like a natural salt-water swimming pool- or one big bathtub.
Where to unwind Barberyn Reef Ayurveda Resort, Beruwala Founded in 1968….it’s the nicest swimming spot.

“Surinder Phull dips a well pampered toe in the tropical waters of a Sri Lankan Ayurveda retreat”
Determined to find a destination where saluting the sun was not part of a military drill, I embarked on a tedious trawl through health websites and search engines. Finally I found what seemed like my dream destination, the Barberyn reef resort in Sri Lanka. This was a bit further than I had planned for a seven day trip but images of guests being submerged in herbal baths, tropical fruits and hot oil massages were simply too much to resists…

“The Explore section”
Off Barberyn Reef in Sri Lanka, a resort prescribes Ayurveda, an ancient holistic healing system, as the answer to life’s many woes.
A third eye may sound like something you’d prefer to keep hidden in the genetic closet, along with third nipples and sixth fingers, but according to the ancient Indian mystics, this chakra located in the centre of your forehead is a key energy point that governs the spheres of intuition and imagination…

“bellezza di rigore”
UNA FOTOGRAFA HA PROVATO PER “ELLE” UNA TERAPIA AYURVEDICA SEVERA. IN SRI LANKA, IN UNA CLINICA TANTO SPARTANA DA ESSER RADICAL-CHIC (POCHI GLI ITALIANI!). E HA SCOPERTO IL FASCINO DELLE REGOLE INTERIM. E DI UN POSTO STUPENDO
Eccomi sull’aereo. Un viaggio lungo, ma the faccio di buonumore perche sto andando in un Paese meraviglioso dall’altra parte del mondo, davvero esotico in ogni aspetto. Non e una vacanza qualsiasi: e un vero viaggio, un’esperienza the colpisce nella sua fisicita sensuale, fatta di profumi, paesaggi, sapori. E infatti, sbarcata a Colombo, mi sento un po’ stordita: come fossi completamente avvolta da una coperta di umidita al 100%, anche se quel “calore” subito to avverto benefico per la mia salute. E personale dell’albergo mi viene a prendere.
