One of Sri Lanka’s warmest and most hospitable family-run wellness retreats, Barberyn Waves Ayurveda Resort , lies in Weligama, a coastal village at the southern tip of Sri Lanka🌿. Apart from its serene coastal setting, what really draws people to Barberyn Waves again and again is its Ayurvedic Health Centre, which is considered one of the best in Sri Lanka and in Top 10 Ayurveda Clinica in the World (Sudano Rodrigo, Barberyn’s founder, established the first Barberyn resort in 1968).

Like-minded people from all parts of the world gather at Barberyn to consult with the physicians and follow individual treatment plans🍃, some of them have been coming to Barberyn every year for the last 10/15 or even 20 years now. Following a detailed consultation with one of their resident Ayurvedic doctors, a personalized programme which includes Ayurvedic food, freshly made herbal medications, 🧘‍♂️ yoga, meditation and a variety of treatments and therapies, including head and face massages, synchronised body massages and herbal steam baths will be put together for you to help balance your mind, body and soul.

When not undergoing treatments, guests can experience daily yoga, cooking classes, tours around Sri Lanka and health lectures and enjoy the property’s amenities, which include a gym and two swimming pool overlooking the ocean, a medicinal forest or explore the attractions of the surrounding area - the lush gardens or the stunningly beautiful beaches of Weligama.

Barberyn Waves features 55 rooms, most of them boasting balconies with a spectacular view of the ocean, the infinity swimming pool and the lush garden. The rooms sizes range from 63 square metres to 81 square metres. They are spacious, rich in natural light and ventilation, and all have en-suite bathrooms. Air-conditioned rooms are available upon request only, most guests prefer natural ventilation – which is also the recommendation during Ayurveda treatment.

Descoperă frumusețea Sri Lankă alături de Alina Mereuta și Tatiana Balaban într-un tur personalizat Kanjō Travel desfășurat în perioada 16-26 martie.

🇱🇰 Libertatea de a Descoperi Casa Sufletului Nostru

De-a lungul anilor, am fost ghizii prietenilor apropiați, grupurilor mari și familiilor din întreaga lume în Sri Lanka. Cu toate acestea, niciodată nu am organizat propriul tur, având rezerve față de programele rigide impuse participanților. Ne-a(m) luat timp pentru a dezvolta un format care să corespundă viziunii noastre.

🐆 O Călătorie Autentică și Personalizată

Această călătorie este rezultatul a 6 ani de explorare, oferind o experiență autentică, personalizată și liberă. Renunțăm la programele fixe, permițând fiecărui membru al grupului să-și creeze propriul itinerar în ritmul său. Oferim posibilitatea de a alege și personaliza cele 14 experiențe și activități pe care le-am pregătit, astfel încât fiecare să descopere Sri Lanka în propriul său mod unic.

❇️ Ziua 1-2: Colombo - Începutul Călătoriei

Prima oprire este în capitala vibrantă, Colombo, cu cazare la Shangri-La Colombo, unul dintre cele mai frumoase hoteluri din oraș. Prima zi o dedicăm adaptării la fusul orar, relaxându-ne la renumitul spa Chi. Apoi, explorăm Fortul Colombo, o zonă istorică cu clădiri coloniale impresionante, temple budiste și moschei spectaculoase sau atmosfera autentică a Pieței Pettah.

❇️ Ziua 2: Bijutieri și Piatre Prețioase

Întâlnire specială cu o familie de bijutieri și comercianți de pietre prețioase în a patra generație, prieteni dragi inimii noastre. Ei împărtășesc povești despre Sri Lanka, renumită pentru cele mai vechi mine de safir, fiind țara care găzduiește peste 75 de soiuri de pietre prețioase și semiprețioase, din cele 200 de tipuri descoperite până astăzi. Descoperim detalii despre safire albastre, roz, rubine, safire galbene și Padparadscha - unul dintre cele mai rare safire din lume, explorând atelierul lor și participând la etapele creării bijuteriilor.

❇️ Ziua 2-9: Barberyn Ayurveda Resorts - Rejuvenare și Ayurveda

Continuăm spre coasta oceanului pentru a experimenta una dintre cele mai bune clinici de Ayurveda din lume, Barberyn Waves. Cu peste 55 de ani de experiență, vă oferim 8 zile de liniște și îngrijire personalizată.

Prin consultații detaliate, se creează un program adaptat, incluzând mâncare Ayurvedică (sa nu va sperie gandul ca sunteti intr-o clinica, mancarea este extraordinar de buna), medicamente pe bază de plante, yoga, meditații și diverse tratamente, ajutându-te să-ți echilibrezi mintea, corpul și sufletul.

Când nu vei urma tratamente, poți participa la yoga, cursuri de gătit și excursii în zonă, sau să te bucuri de două piscine cu vedere la ocean și să explorezi plajele frumoase din Weligama. Barberyn Waves dispune de 55 de camere extrem de spațioase (60-80 mp), majoritatea dintre ele având balcoane cu vedere la ocean.

❇️ Ziua 9-11: Malabar Hill Sri Lanka și Explorări Unice

După relaxare, rămânem tot în sud, schimbând priveliștea oceanului cu cea a câmpurilor de orez, la Malabar Hill - un hotel de 5 stele, preferatul nostru de pe insula, distins de Conde Nast drept unul dintre cele mai bune hoteluri din Sri Lanka. Ultimele zile vor fi dedicate unor explorări autentice, atât în exterior, cât și în interiorul nostru: safari-uri fascinante, întâlniri cu elefanți și leoparzi, tururi ghidate în situri UNESCO, vizite la temple istorice, meditații alături de călugări budiști, cursuri de gătit tradițional, contribuții la proiecte de regenerare a pădurilor tropicale sau să împărtășești și să predai ceva din experiența ta pentru 10 copii dintr-un sat.

P.S. Dacă acum nu este momentul potrivit să ni te alături în această călătorie, trebuie să știi că am conceput programul pentru a putea fi adaptat la alte perioade și pentru familii sau grupuri mici de 2, 4 sau 6 persoane.

Ne vedem în inima Sri Lankăi 🇱🇰 💚🧡❤️

“A grand family home hidden unsuspectingly down a busy street in the heart of Colombo, Maniumpathy has been home to five generations of a family hailing from Jaffna. This refurbished colonial villa evokes feelings of old world charm mixed with modern comforts.

Named after the town of Manipay - a wealthy area in Jaffna - this eight-bedroom boutique hotel whose original structure is over a hundred years ago, offers large expanses of greenery with a pool tucked away in the centre.”

“Inspired by a lifetime of travel, designer and co-owner Lawson Johnston gathered influence from extensive exploration of Sri Lanka and the surrounding region, which laid the foundation of the 8 year design process to create Malabar Hill Sri Lanka. As a result, Malabar Hill is blending Indian and Middle Eastern bohemia with local materials and artisan craftsmanship, from locally handmade terracotta roof and floor tiles through to reclaimed timber doors and windows.

Perched on a 33-acre hilltop of lush tropical landscape, Malabar Hill is in a prime position to enjoy the highlights of both the hills and Sri Lanka’s vast biodiversity - it gazes both seawards and inland, across acres of rice paddy-dominated farmland towards the Akuressa and Deniyaya rainforests. The hotel occupies just 15 per cent of the estate's 33 acres. The rest of this 10-year-retired cinnamon plantation has been rewilded as a rainforest where over 500 flora and fauna species have been discovered, alongside wildlife including the Sri Lanka Grey hornbill and purple-faced leaf monkey.

The main house provides panoramic views of the surrounding jungle and the nearby coastline. At the heart of the resort, you will find the restaurant, bar, 35-meter infinity pool flanked by hand-carved pavilion-style sun loungers and plenty of indoor and outdoor lounge space. Wander along cool haveli-style corridors beneath Moorish-arches and sip sundowners from the turret-walled, riad-style roof terrace. It feels convivial though there are plenty of nooks for independent lounging and dining, including a reading nook recessed into the wall acts as the hotel’s mini library.”

Sigiriya (Stâncă Leului) - impresionanta împărăție de pe stâncă, care a fost pentru o scurtă perioadă capitala Sri Lankăi medievale, unul dintre cele mai bine conservate exemple de urbanism antic și sit pe lista Patrimoniului Mondial UNESCO.

Sigiriya fost folosită ca refugiu de către călugării budiști din secolul al III-lea î.Hr., dovadă stau inscripțiile din peșterile din zonă. Regele Dhatusena (455 - 473) a avut doi urmași: Mogallana, fiul unei regine, și Kassapa, fiul unei consoarte de rang inferior. Când Mogallana a fost desemnat moștenitor al tronului, Kassapa s-a răsculat împotriva tatălui său, pe care l-a luat prizonier, după care și-a alungat fratele în India. Dhatusena a fost zidit de către Kassapa într-o încăpere și lăsat să moară. Temându-se de răzbunarea lui Mogallana, Kassapa a pus să se ridice, în doar șapte ani, o nouă reședință, castel și fortăreață, pe stânca Sigiriya. Noul rege a construit la baza stâncii un complex imens de grădini, bazine și fântani. În anul 491, Mogallana, în fruntea unei armate de mercenari tamili, a venit să-și revendice tronul.

Kassapa și-a părăsit citadela în fruntea armatei sale, călare pe un elefant, și și-a întâmpinat inamicul în câmp deschis.A pierdut bătălia și s-a sinucis. Mogallana a redat Sigiriya călugărilor budiști, aceasta redevenind astfel un loc de meditație și de rugăciune. Stânca a fost abandonată în 1155 și a fost redescoperită de englezi în anul 1828.
