The doctor will also advice the kitchen about any specific food allergies you may have. You can join the yoga classes to help with your mind/body connection and general mindfulness. Plantation Villa aims to provide a mind/body wellness experience through Ayurveda, nutrition and mindfulness in a relaxing environment. In addition to treating the body through Ayurveda treatments and nutrition, the aim is to offer a personalised service where they understand and care for the guests. Being a small centre, allows the luxury to look after each of the guests in a very personalised manner.

Plantation Villa follows a 'farm to plate' policy where majority of the food served to you comed from home grown organic gardens. The retreat centre gardens consist of a paddy field, an organic vegetable / fruit spice and herb garden. You are invited to join in the paddy
harvesting and fruit / vegetable and spice picking. Cookery demonstrations are offered and you can join if you are interested.

All rooms are tastefully decorated with ensuite bathrooms and modern facilities. The property is located in a small village called Nehinna, 80km away from the capital city Colombo. The village is rural and has a traditional community feel. The property itself is a 30 acre plantation of Rubber, Coconut, Cinnamon and Black Pepper. The villa is
surrounded by nature and is a habitat for rare local and migrant birds, butterflies and a plethora of tropical flora and fauna.

Plantation Villa offers a very authentic Ayurveda/Yoga experience and a rather un-touristic experience in to life in a Sri Lankan village. 

It is a place to really focus on your own wellbeing and happiness and learn tools to improve your physical and mental wellness and how to incorporate them in to your daily life, whilst being pampered and cared for by a loving team in a sanctuary created by nature.
