Step back in time and experience the colonial charm of our 150-year-old villa, originally the residence of the village chief. Lovingly renovated in 2015/2016, the villa now features a welcoming living room, an elegant dining hall, a spacious veranda, and an open living area that invites you to relax and unwind.
Our property includes both the main villa and the lodge, just a short 1-minute walk apart. The lodge, once the home of the colonial treasurer’s first resident, complements the villa, which was built by his son to accommodate his growing family. The villa offers 8 rooms—2 luxury suites with both air conditioning and ceiling fans, and large double bathrooms featuring a jacuzzi tub and rain shower, as well as 6 deluxe rooms with both air conditioning and ceiling fans. Additionally, the lodge offers a selection of standard rooms equipped with ceiling fans, and deluxe rooms with both air conditioning and fans, providing a slightly higher level of comfort than the standard rooms.
Each space has been thoughtfully restored to blend contemporary comfort with colonial elegance, ensuring that every guest feels at home. The lodge’s rooms are all beautifully furnished and feature luxurious bathrooms, complementing the overall charm and comfort of your stay.
As part of this retreat, you’ll have access to a range of engaging afternoon activities, such as:
Nestled in the heart of the tranquil village of Nehinna, on Sri Lanka’s southwest coast, lies Plantation Villa. Here, guests can escape the hustle and bustle of city life and immerse themselves in a lush, idyllic countryside setting, surrounded by verdant greenery. The nearby Madu River, one of Sri Lanka’s largest wetlands, and the popular beach town of Bentota are just a short drive away, offering the best of both worlds. Relaxation and rejuvenation are easily found here, amidst the serene and tranquil atmosphere.
The property itself is an expansive 30-acre plantation of rubber, coconut, cinnamon, and black pepper, home to rare local and migrant birds, butterflies, and an array of tropical flora and fauna. Our open yoga sala, surrounded by nature, is the perfect setting for yoga and meditation classes, as well as Buddhist poojas. We specialise in the ancient art of Ayurveda, utilising nutrition, relaxation, and herbal treatments to heal both body and mind.
At just 80 kilometres from Colombo, they offer the perfect escape from the city, where guests can experience the beauty of Sri Lanka’s countryside and indulge in a range of healing practices, all in one unforgettable location.
At Plantation Villa, they take pride in offering guests freshly made Ayurvedic meals using only the finest produce, most of which is grown in their very own gardens. From the moment you step into the dining hall, you’ll be met with the tantalising aromas of spices and herbs, expertly blended together to create dishes that are as nourishing as they are delicious.
The chefs carefully select the freshest ingredients, such as organic fruits, vegetables, and herbs, all grown in our garden without the use of harmful chemicals. These ingredients are then expertly combined using traditional Ayurvedic techniques, resulting in dishes that are both healthy and flavorful. Whether you’re enjoying a hearty lentil soup, a colourful vegetable stir-fry, or a steaming bowl of coconut curry, each dish is prepared with your health and wellbeing in mind.
At Plantation Villa, they believe that food is medicine, and that the right combination of ingredients can help to balance the body and promote overall health and wellness. So come and join in at the table, and experience the healing power of fresh, Ayurvedic cuisine.
During your free time, enjoy:
The resort organises activities such as Ayurvedic barbecues, outdoor dining evenings, dance or singing performances by local talent, and celebrations of local festivities.
The retreat package includes rejuvenating Ayurvedic Abhyanga massages and a refreshing steam baths at no additional cost.
During the Abhyanga massage, the trained therapists use medicated herbal oils tailored to your body type and doshas. The massage helps to eliminate deep-seated toxins from your joints and tissues, promoting overall detoxification and delaying the aging process. Additionally, the massage nourishes, strengthens, and lubricates your joints, making them more resilient to wear and tear. Your skin will also benefit from the massage, as accumulated toxins are released, leaving your skin looking healthy and clear.
The Vashpaswedanam steam bath, which uses medicinal plant leaves, is another special treatment included in the retreat. This steam bath effectively removes impurities from the body, aids in weight loss, and can improve the appearance of skin conditions like acne. By dilating and cleansing your pores, the steam bath effectively removes build-up and leaves your skin looking refreshed and radiant.
Additional spa treatments are available on request (charges applicable)
