Our Story

The story of Plantation Villa began with our founder, Ishara. It encompasses her own ill health experience which became an important transition in her life to becoming truly happy. She was once a successful banker in London, living and enjoying a life of modern luxuries, travel and a successful career. When diagnosed with Cancer, she turned to the ancient indigenous medicine of Ayurveda and was healed in a way unexpected by her western doctors. She embraced Ayurveda but discovered that most resorts did not offer the authentic, holistic healing experience she was after. Her mind and soul were also in need of healing following the traumatic events she had to endure. She spent 6 years searching for and learning about holistic wellbeing and eventually spent time in a Buddhist Monastery learning and figuring out how to be truly happy.
