Barberyn Reef is set on a long strip of Beach with a reef running the length
of the property, forming a natural swimming lagoon. The landscaping at the
resort is being done by Sri Lanka 's well known landscape artist, Lucky Senanayake
and his work which is on going. The resort has a casual and serene ambience
which guests seem to absorb after a while.
Journalist writing in “The Nation” Newspaper in Thailand has remarked as follows, “Lulled
by the rhythmic pounding of the Indian Ocean nearby, relaxed by the kneading
of daily oil massages, long-staying guests eventually emulate an aura of well-being,
signaled by slower speech and a softer demeanor. No wonder, many of the guests
end up rescheduling flights and extending their stays”.
Accommodation Types
The accommodation at Barberyn Reef has been renovated and 60 rooms are in
operation this season.
The 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). 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.
