Experience the power of Ayurveda and harmonise your body, mind, and soul. Surrounded by gentle hills and meadows, Plantation Villa offers the perfect peaceful atmosphere and an impressive backdrop that invites relaxation.
In the heart of the picturesque Wye Valley, near the Welsh borders, lies the charming retreat of Plantation Villa Ruxton Farm. The 35-acre estate, which served as a rustic farmhouse in the 17th century, is an extension of the award-winning Plantation Villa in Sri Lanka (see link below) and offers the perfect conditions for a sustainable Ayurveda treatment with its soothing surroundings and an experienced team of Ayurvedic specialists and therapists, yoga instructors, and monks. The goal is to teach you a lifestyle that keeps your body and mind healthy, allowing you to experience a happier, lighter life.
The Wye Valley stretches along the River Wye, forming the natural border between England and Wales. With its gentle hills, lush forests, and historic towns, including Ross-on-Wye and Monmouth, it beautifully blends nature and culture. Symonds Yat offers stunning views, while walking and cycling paths provide opportunities to explore the region's rich wildlife and history.
