Diyabubula, the Barberyn Art & Jungle Hideaway

“Diyabubula means “bubbling fountain” – there is an eternal spring on the property. Diyabubula also symbolizes the power of the earth and the creativity bubbling up in this magical location.”

Diyabubula is the Oasis that Laki Senanayeke, one of Sri Lanka's most renowned artists created in Dambulla, Sri Lanka. Over a period of 50 years, he transformed flat cultivation land into a lush forest, a water garden and an open air art gallery.

In 2012, Laki, built for the owners of Barberyn Ayurveda Resorts an Art & Jungle Hideaway - a small luxury lodge, a boutique hotel, consisting of five villas. He chose 100 year old railway sleepers as basic building material. This wood, seasoned by sun and rain over a century, has been combined with sleek and beautiful timber sourced from all over Sri Lanka, and hand-crafted right at Diyabubula. Laki designed and executed every detail of the lodge, and it is his most important work of art.

Laki shared this beautiful oasis with us, and he continued to live and work in his minimalist space until he passed away in June 2021.

We are integrating Lakis' abode and studio, with our Art and Jungle Lodge in keeping with Lakis' wish, so that his legacy on Art, Sculpture and Architecture and biodiversity can be kept alive. It is a precious responsibility, and we invite you to join us on this uncharted journey.
