14 Day Holistic Weight Loss & Ayurvedic Yoga Retreat in Sri Lanka's Lush Countryside

Plantation Villa is a specialist wellness nature resort that blends the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda with modern fitness and mindfulness practices. Our 14-day Weight Loss & Yoga Retreat is a comprehensive program that addresses all aspects of your well-being: physical, mental, and emotional. The retreat takes place on a stunning 30-acre property, a working plantation of rubber, coconut, cinnamon, and black pepper, nestled in a charming and traditional rural village. This authentic setting provides the perfect backdrop for deep healing and personal transformation, far from the distractions of everyday life.

Your journey begins with a personalized consultation with our experienced Ayurvedic doctor, who will assess your unique constitution (dosha) and create a tailored treatment and nutrition plan. Throughout your stay, you'll receive daily herbal remedies and four specialized Ayurvedic treatments per day, designed to detoxify your body, boost your metabolism, and support your weight loss goals. Our senior therapists, each with over 15 years of experience, will guide you through treatments like Abhyanga (warm oil massage), Shirodhara, and herbal steam baths, leaving you feeling deeply relaxed and rejuvenated.

Physical activity is a key component of our program. You'll participate in invigorating fitness sessions three times a week with our talented trainer, Poorna, which include strength, cardio, and core work designed to burn calories and build lean muscle. Daily yoga classes, led by our skilled instructors, focus on Hatha, Restorative, and Vinyasa styles to improve flexibility, strength, and mindfulness. Our meditation sessions, guided by our founder Ishara, help calm the mind, reduce stress, and cultivate inner peace.

Nourishment is at the heart of your transformation. Our chef and Ayurvedic doctor work together to create meals that are not only delicious but also medicinal. We embrace a true farm-to-plate philosophy, with most of our ingredients—organic vegetables, fruits, herbs, and spices—harvested from our own gardens. You'll enjoy a variety of flavorful, nutrient-dense dishes, each thoughtfully prepared to balance your doshas and support your wellness journey. You might be surprised to learn how satisfying healthy food can be, and you’ll leave with the knowledge and recipes to continue this way of eating at home, including our very own cookbook.

The retreat also offers unique opportunities to immerse yourself in local culture and nature. You can join guided walks through the plantations and paddy fields, participate in seasonal fruit and spice picking, or learn to cook traditional Sri Lankan dishes in our cookery classes. We also offer group excursions to nearby temples and other local attractions, allowing you to experience the authentic warmth of Sri Lankan hospitality. Our commitment extends beyond our guests; Plantation Villa is deeply involved in the local community, supporting schools, temples, and offering free clinics. By choosing this retreat, you're also contributing to meaningful community development.
