Enjoy sightseeing and authentic Ayurveda at two new Barberyn hotels for 8 nights and 10 days
♕ Experience the ultimate relaxation in a mysterious forest hideaway and an authentic Ayurvedic resort.
For those who want to enjoy sightseeing before spending 6 nights at an Ayurveda resort with a full-scale Ayurveda program, we recommend this tour that allows you to stay at two Barberyn resorts. In the Sigiriya area, you will stay at the little-known Barberyn-run Diyabbulah, a mysterious hideaway in the forest , and at the newly opened Barberyn Sands in Bentota, offering a new healing space . The sightseeing includes the must-see Sigiriya Rock, safaris, and power spots, and there is plenty to do outside of Ayurveda.

|“DIYA BUBULA” – A hideaway quietly nestled in the forest of Sigiriya
Diyabbula means “spring bubble” in Sinhala. Located in the rainforest on the outskirts of Dambulla, the hotel itself is a power spot, with a spring source that gushes forth daily, as the name suggests. This hotel is managed by Barberyn, is located in this mystical forest and has five rooms in three types: Water Villa, The Bamboo Grove, and The Tree House. The rooms are designed to blend into the forest using old wood, bamboo, and palm trees, creating the ultimate “extraordinary space” that blends in with nature, surrounded by the sounds of babbling water and the cries of wild birds.
The Bamboo Grove in particular has a semi-transparent circular ceiling, and the bedrooms are designed to allow guests to see a starry sky.
This architecture, which is integrated with nature, was designed by Raki Senanaki, a legendary Sri Lankan architect who worked with Geoffrey Bawa. Many of Raki’s artworks can be enjoyed inside the hotel.
If you are sightseeing in the Sigiriya area, why not try a different experience by staying at “DIYA BUBULA”.

Barberyn Resorts, a popular long-established Ayurvedic resort, has opened its third hotel, Barberyn Sands, in Bentota, following Barberyn Reef in Beruwala and Barberyn Beach in Weligama. Barberyn Reef has many repeat customers and can be difficult to book at times, but the opening of Barberyn Sands in Bentota, which offers the same services, is good news for Ayurvedic fans.
Barberyn Resorts are popular not only for their authentic Ayurvedic treatments and yoga programs, but also for the free optional tours that the hotel organizes in the afternoon.
BARVERYN SANDS also offers several optional tours, so you can spend your free time after your Ayurvedic treatment sightseeing or relaxing as you like.

| Tour General Information
●About the time required for sightseeing
The estimated sightseeing time is about 1.5 to 3 hours. (This may vary depending on the schedule, location, and weather.) The time can be adjusted, so please feel free to contact us in advance if you have any requests.
●About the pick-up area
The driver will flexibly accommodate stops at supermarkets and rest stops along the travel route, so please feel free to consult us on the day. (If the travel distance exceeds the limit due to a major change in route, etc. (approximately 20 km), an additional fee will be charged locally. Please keep this in mind.)
●About meals
Outside of urban areas such as Colombo and Kandy, there are limited restaurants, and there are often no restaurants within walking distance of hotels and tourist spots. In
our plan, we will basically take you to the hotel buffet for breakfast and dinner, and to a local restaurant along the way for lunch. (Breakfast will be at the hotel the night before.)
Even if the plan does not include meals, we will provide transportation to places where you can eat. (Meals will be paid locally.)
If you have a request for a restaurant, please let us know in advance.
●About drivers/guides
Except for Japanese guides, there will be only one driver, and we cannot accompany you during sightseeing or meals, as you will not be able to leave the private car.
●About programs paid for locally
Train arrangements, Ayurveda, meals at hotels, marine sports, and other special arrangements are basically paid for locally.
●When using trains
We cannot arrange trains alone, so if you would like to arrange trains, we can only do so in conjunction with a package (airline ticket + local arrangements/local arrangements only)
*Please note that we cannot arrange trains if you only charter a private car.
●Please be careful to check that your passport has not expired and that your visa is incomplete.
Please note that we cannot take responsibility if you do not check for yourself.

It usually takes about two weeks from application to receipt of a passport. (Varies depending on the time of year)
Please prepare well in advance.
