At Plantation Villa, we’re passionate about holistic health, yoga, Ayurveda, mindfulness, personal development and living in harmony with nature. As a social enterprise, the work you do with us also helps us make a positive difference in the lives of others.

Changing and preparing beds and guest linen
Washing and ironing room linen
Keeping communal areas clean and tidy
Helping with setting up and clearing away for meals
Occasionally assisting with serving meals and other retreat activities
Helping wherever needed as part of our small team
No previous experience is essential, although experience in housekeeping, hospitality or working in a retreat environment would be a bonus. What matters most to us is that you are hardworking, positive, responsible and happy to get stuck in.
🌱 What you’ll receive
In exchange for your help, we offer:
Accommodation onsite
Three meals per day
