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.

Welcome to the Ayurvedic Cancer Retreat at Plantation Villa, where you can immerse yourself in nature and find relaxation through Ayurvedic traditions and mindfulness practices. Our serene environment allows you to reconnect with your inner self, free from distractions.

Upon arrival, you’ll have a consultation with our Ayurvedic doctor to begin your personalized treatment plan. Initial treatments are gentle, helping your body adjust. Our focus is on detoxifying and strengthening your immune system to support recovery and prevent recurrence.

Our expert doctors specialize in cancer management and create tailored Ayurvedic herbal medicines. The retreat also offers daily yoga, meditation, and a range of activities to support your healing journey.

Important Note:

Because each cancer case is unique, we strongly recommend a consultation with our cancer specialist before booking. Please send your medical reports and health summary so our doctors can advise on the appropriate duration, treatments, and any special medicines needed. Continued communication with our doctors after your stay is also encouraged for ongoing support.
