Plantation Villa is an award-winning wellness retreat and social enterprise, where experienced yoga teachers, therapists and Ayurveda doctors come together to provide a transformative experience for guests utilising the ancient wisdom of Yoga, Ayurveda and Mindfulness. For over a decade, Plantation Villa has been quietly changing lives through its centre in Sri Lanka and has extended its operations to the Wye Valley in Herefordshire in 2022. Set amongst the rolling hillsides of Kings Caple and Hoarwithy village, Plantation Villa overlooks the beautifully winding River Wye, which makes this one of England’s most picturesque rural settings.
Retreat Stays (min. 2 nights) run all-year-round and include daily yoga and meditation, nourishing Ayurvedic-inspired meals, and thoughtfully curated wellness activities such as sound baths, guided nature walks, philosophy talks, cooking classes, and talks with an Ayurveda doctor. Programmes may focus on stress relief, detox, weight loss, mindfulness, relaxation or life coaching.
Our Yoga Studio & Spa also welcomes day visitors for classes, workshops, sound healing sessions and massage treatments.
Day Retreats offer a gentle introduction to retreat life, with full access to 12 acres of gardens and countryside. Each day is tailored to you, with optional spa treatments or private consultations.
As a social enterprise, over 70% of profits support The Metta Trust — funding homes, schools and healthcare in Sri Lanka, supporting rewilding projects, and addressing mental health challenges in the UK.
Step away from the busyness of life and rediscover balance in our peaceful countryside farmhouse.

Often described as “a slice of Italy in rural England,” this remarkable church was redesigned in the 1870s by John Pollard Seddon in Italian Romanesque and Byzantine style. Its red sandstone, mosaics and peaceful hilltop setting overlooking the Wye Valley make it a special visit.
