Dining at Barberyn Sands is an integral part of the Ayurvedic healing journey. The resort offers a full-board meal plan, providing breakfast, lunch, and dinner, all prepared with fresh, locally sourced ingredients. The cuisine is predominantly vegetarian, aligning with Ayurvedic principles that emphasize balance and nourishment. However, for those who include fish in their diet, mild fish curries are available during lunch. The meals are designed to incorporate the six Ayurvedic tastes—sweet, sour, salty, bitter, pungent, and astringent—to ensure a balanced and satisfying dining experience.
Breakfast typically features a buffet with fresh fruits, herbal soups, home-baked breads, and traditional Sri Lankan dishes. Lunch is served as a buffet, offering a variety of vegetable and herbal curries, while dinner is a set menu focusing on light, easily digestible dishes. On Saturdays, the resort hosts a "Sri Lankan Night," where guests can enjoy an extended buffet of local delicacies prepared in an open kitchen setting.
An Ayurvedic physician is present during meal times to guide guests in selecting foods that align with their individual treatment plans. This personalized approach ensures that each guest's dietary needs are met, supporting their overall wellness journey. The resort's emphasis on mindful eating encourages guests to savor each bite, fostering a deeper connection between food and healing.
Barberyn Sands offers a range of leisure activities designed to complement the Ayurvedic treatments and promote holistic well-being. Guests can participate in daily yoga classes, suitable for all levels, conducted in serene settings that enhance the practice. These sessions focus on synchronizing breath with movement, aiding in relaxation and stress reduction.
The resort also organizes regular lectures on Ayurveda, providing insights into the principles and practices of this ancient healing system. Cooking demonstrations are held to educate guests on preparing Ayurvedic meals, enabling them to continue healthy eating habits beyond their stay. Cultural evenings showcase traditional Sri Lankan music and dance, offering a glimpse into the rich heritage of the region.
For those interested in exploring the local area, Barberyn Sands arranges short excursions to nearby attractions, such as the historic Galle Fort and the vibrant markets of Bentota. These outings allow guests to immerse themselves in the local culture and natural beauty of Sri Lanka. The resort's tranquil environment, combined with its diverse range of activities, ensures a balanced and enriching experience for all visitors.
At the heart of Barberyn Sands lies its dedicated Ayurveda Centre, where guests embark on personalized healing journeys guided by experienced Ayurvedic physicians. Upon arrival, each guest undergoes a comprehensive consultation to assess their individual constitution and health concerns.
