Location: Located on Sri Lanka's south-west coast, 85km from the International Airport, Barberyn Reef is one of few resorts that can be described as being literally "on the beach". Sand stretches for miles along the shore and the resort is sheltered by a long coral reef running the length of the property, forming a natural lagoon ideal for swimming. Barberyn provides a unique environment enabling guests to combine the benefits of Ayurveda with a memorable tropical vacation.

Accommodation:  75 rooms, the majority of which have been recently renovated / refurbished. The previous Garden and Beach "cottages" are now clusters of rooms in several blocks - some on stilts and some on two levels (ground floor rooms and first floor rooms). Beach front rooms, Garden rooms, Deluxe rooms and Classic rooms. All rooms are beautifully furnished with furniture made at the resort and have mosquito nets, attached toilets (shower or bath tubs) natural ventilation and electric fans, a terrace or balcony. Only a few rooms are air conditioned as most guests prefer natural ventilation which is recommended in Ayurveda.
