It seems only the other day that we welcomed our first guests, but the gardens have grown, the buildings have mellowed, and Barberyn Beach has its own rhythm and so many fans. A friend of Barberyn recently echoed our own feelings when she said "Serene, silent and sensuous, how I love Barberyn Beach "
In these pages below we share with you some of the comments guests have sent us or written in the guest book from the time we started. We look forward to welcoming you at Barberyn.

Dear Barberyn Beach,
Once more I wish to thank you for the beneficial treatments, the kind attention and perfect holiday. My friends and I are going to return next year.
Sue Mikolanis
Thank you for your nice and wonderful treatments and days. I hope I’ll come back soon. I think your staff is so nice rather than any other retreat.
Yamasaki Sachiko
Thank you very much for all your support and kindness that you all the Barberyn staff showed me during my stay. I could really return and had a wonderful time. Once again thank you very much! I will definitely come back here again.
Ms. Michie Kusakari
As always thank you! This place always feels like home and it’s only been my second time! 10 hours of jet lag and 24 hours of travelling is all worth it for the calmness at this place. Oh and the stunning birds that sing so sweetly everyday.
Ms. Gulshan Jaffery
With all my heart, I just experienced 7 days in a heaven on earth!

A big thank you to all the staff at Barberyn for a wonderful week. The friendliness and ready smiles really reflect the hospitality and gentle nature of the Sri Lankan people. The whole experience has made me feel a million times better and ready to face the world again. I will definitely be back again.

I have had the most pleasant ten days here with my 3 friends. We are so happy with every aspect of our stay and we are convinced that there is magic here. Every time we needed something, it was like the staff could read our minds and were always one step ahead.
Thanks for everything.
Until next time –

Dear everyone,
I was so worried about coming somewhere so far away and for so very long! Now the 7 weeks are over! And I say goodbye until September when I return. Your excellent quiet service, helping when I was so much in pain, and treatments, were all part of an amazing journey with you. Of course there were ups + downs, but when I think of the whole visit I’m extremely grateful for all of it. Good + bad, happy and sad, all thoughts vanish like a bird in the sky. My sincere thanks.

The atmosphere captured me from the beginning. Every staff member seems to be aware of doing something important - with all their heart. Wonderful landscape…
What else do you need to relax?
Mrs. Diana Mintzer (Germany)
A wonderful stay at Barberyn Beach Resort – from the moment we were met at the airport with a bottle of water & a head rest, then a beautiful lei of frangipani & a glass of fresh orange juice at the resort. All this thoughtfulness continued throughout my stay – thank you.
Ms Lorraine Nepstad, (England)
Thank you very much for a total new experience from recovering again. It is good to know where a place like Barberyn Resort is, so you can feel like at home. A very thoughtful place with peace and great people looking after you.

I arrived with little conception of Ayurvedic treatment. Since arriving I have completely got rid of my psoriasis, for the first in six years. I am ecstatic. I have found every single member of staff to be friendly and professional. After 2 months here, I am sad 2 return to Britain. I have already started to plan my next visit. Thank you very much to all who made my stay a life changing experience.
God Bless!
Ms Helen Gore (England)
My beloved and good friend Mily,
With great affection always remembering my stay in your Ayurveda Center, that for me, is the best one than ever I have found in my many trips by Asia and of course the most amiable people and the most affectionate services with an individual care. It is a true delight, and I always have you all in the best of my memory. You are a fabulous person and a great professional;
I admire and I appreciate very much what you all are doing and offering to us.
Since I have traveled twenty times to Sri Lanka, a country that deeply I like and because of that, I have written two guides of tourism and several books, in addition I have many works published on the Teachings of Buddha and Meditation.
For me, Sri Lanka has everything and specially the formidable and unforgettable Barberyn Ayurveda Resorts is there, where I have passed some of the most tempting and calm days of my life, with your exquisite and purifying meals, it is a place of dream, the care of great specialists of Ayurveda and magnificent treatments and massages that were given to us. For that reason, Dear Mily, since I returned to my country (Spain), I have tried to promote your center of Ayurveda, I have recommended it to my friends, students and people in general. I have spoken of Barberyn in several programs of radio and have written in three magazines specialized in the subjects of Spiritual, Ecology and Nature, Yoga and Meditation, as well as in news.
Three years ago, I was in Sri Lanka in the hotel Club Oceanic at Trincomalee, and there was the chief Director of Tourism filming, he asked me to speak of my impressions on Sri Lanka, so I did it for the television, saying how much I love this beautiful country, with innumerable works of arts and hospitality people.
For me it was a fortune to know Barberyn and your Ayurveda Center, as soon as I arrived I feel at home and soon I remained very renewed and full of health in that peacefully atmosphere.
BarberynBeach Ayurveda Resort you can recommend to everybody and people of all ages. Also it was a great fortune to meet the owner
Mr. Rodrigo - amiable and special person, also your husband and family.
All this was a memorable experience and I am looking forward to return to BarberynBeach to greet the doctors the efficient and warm workers and more of all to go trough the authentic Ayurveda treatments.
Please receives my personal consideration, my affection and support in promoting your country and Barberyn Ayurveda Resorts,
Your Spanish friend,
RAMIRO CALLE (Spain)

“What a wonderful place. I arrived feeling very stressful and I leave feeling so relaxed. A beautiful setting produces the backdrop to this exquisite paradise. A note without mentioning the superb hospitality of all the staff here would be remiss. Thank you so much for a wonderful time. "
Mrs. Clare Kinsella
"This is the most wonderful place. The most wonderful hotel. I have had a truly great holiday. I came here taking very large amounts of pain killers which I now no longer need to take. A success! It is the best holiday I have ever had because it has given me back my health. I hope the benefits will last for many years to come. "
Yvonne Savage

Thank you all for a wonderful stay. My mother and I had a fabulous time and feel refreshed and healthy, ready for spring in the UK ( lets hope it’s sunny back home after such glorious weather )
We didn’t know what to expect, especially as we booked the holiday 2 days before departure, but it exceeded all our expectations. The daily massages and acupuncture were heavenly and Shirodara was quite an experience.
The food was highly remarkable, delicious in all respects and having our friendly doctor available at all real times ensured we were able to get an answer to all our questions about what to eat and what it would do to us.
We look forward to our return visit ( with friends + family too )
Galla & Lohta
Barberyn Resort is possibly one of the best places we have visited and enjoyed. We came wrecks and left different people.

After spending 3 weeks at Barberyn Reef, I don’t have enough words to express my gratitude for wonderful treatment as a client and a human being. I’ve been traveling a lot all over the continents, but this place takes a prize. I’m surely going to recommend it to everyone in Sweden.
My best wishes to Barberyn Resorts.

After a long journey and many travels to exotic and beautiful places, I found something very special. Inside a felt like a piece of flotsam and jetsum washed up on the beach after the storm. This inner turned has been calmed and re-focused because of the nurturing and nourishment to all the parts of any 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 in their giving. So much to thank you all from a grateful and rested traveler.
This place, the people, the atmosphere of warmth & loving care that I have experienced will long stay in my memory. This tired body & restless mind has been refreshed revitalized steady to carry me through all the rest of my journey. Thank you & peace to you all..
Love from Yaruck Ohgauo ( UK )
To all members of the staff,
You make this place the most peaceful one that I have ever seen! The harmony is so complete that sometimes you imagine staying in heaven. I got back my health and wealth and I leave with a golden shine in my heart. Mind and body are in balance and I hope to take with me the peaceful spirit I found here.
Thank you once more and I hope you will continue to keep all the qualities you have here.
Mrs. Spanihel Siglinde
