At our award-winning centre, we specialise in guiding people towards their optimal selves — who they are truly meant to be. Through the timeless philosophies of Ayurveda, Yoga, and Mindfulness, we support transformation that brings more clarity, vitality, joy, and purpose into daily life.
Whether you join us for a residential or day retreat, or take part in our classes, courses, or workshops, each experience is designed to help you feel more alive, fulfilled, and connected to your true self. At the heart of our approach is the understanding that to truly live well means nurturing balance in every part of our being — cultivating a healthier body, a calmer mind, and a spirit more at ease. These are the three pillars of wellbeing that guide everything we do.
Our UK and Sri Lanka Retreats offer a unique point of difference to other retreats. Our objective is not just to thoroughly pamper you, we also aim to bring happiness, health and change into your life and ultimately bring you closer to your own true self. Voted as ‘Sri Lanka’s Best Wellness Retreat’ and the ‘Best Wellness Retreat in Asia’, we are a holistic Ayurveda, Yoga/Meditation Retreat Centre.
Body
The body is the first pillar. Our physical structures achieve their ideal possibilities when balanced through a continuous combination of exercise, sound sleep and behaviour, and good eating habits.
Mind
The mind and the body are inherently linked. Any change in the body can have ripple effects into our mind, with the power to alter our perspectives, thoughts, feelings and emotions and changes in our mindset can affect our body’s range of capabilities.
Spirit
Spirit is the final pillar, tying together body and mind with a sense of belonging, community, and purpose. The experience of our spirit is reflected when living with a sense of authenticity and selflessness. Spiritually teaches us that all we need is already present within.
AYURVEDA PATH
An Experience like no other
Your experience here at Plantation Villa will be different from the standard tourist spa Ayurveda resorts. Our treatments are highly personalised as the Ayurvedic doctors work with you to bring balance to your body and mind through a variety of treatments and herbal medicines.
A Journey to sustainability
We are a social enterprise; we exist to make the life of others better. The profits of our retreats are transferred to our own charity, the Metta Trust. We work tirelessly to improve the lives of underprivileged communities with our many community-based projects covering housing, education, healthcare and community development. Conservation and nature projects are also incredibly important to us. We believe in protecting nature and wildlife as we believe it is our duty to care for all those around us.
