Six Senses Launches Vana, a Unique Wellness Resort in the Himalayan Foothills

Six Sense Vana

Six Senses has just opened its first wellness resort amid the foothills of the Himalayas in India. In June 2022, the wellness- and sustainability-focused hotel company was appointed to run Six Senses Vana.

Vana is a 21-acre health resort in Dehradun that was established in 2014 by Veer Singh Ji. It is surrounded by clusters of Sal woodland and has its own mango and lychee plantations.

Six Senses Vana, which was named after the sal woodland, wants to safeguard and nurture.

Ayurveda, Yoga, Tibetan Medicine, and Natural Healing Therapies are combined with a full programme of daily activities and individualised assistance. The retreat is filled with nourishing cuisine, including an Ayurvedic speciality restaurant; treatments, such as acupuncture, reflexology, and natural alignment; and a kind-hearted staff. Unlike everywhere else, the magic is in how these aspects are combined to provide the most benefit to guests, depending on their present condition of mind and body and personal objectives for the stay.

Every visit includes accommodations with full board and individualised diet, daily retreat activities, wellness assessment and screening, and even clothes.

At the Alchemy Bar, guests will have the opportunity to create their own spa items based on their dosha type. Additionally, the bar will provide healthful beverages, shrubs, and tonics. In addition to a sustainable fashion and spa items lifestyle concept shop, there will also be a Cinema Paradiso and courts for different ball activities. With Grow With Six Senses, there will also be activities for children aged six and older to learn and grow.

There is also the possibility to customise the itinerary by selecting a programme based on a particular wellness goal, including tests and professional guidance:

Six Senses Signature Experiences

Close to Rishikesh, the birthplace of yoga, and north of Dehradun on the approach to the Himalayas, Vana has been a haven for rebalancing, healing, and education for visitors since it opened in January 2014. Under the Six Senses moniker, the original objective and the current staff have remained mostly identical. Additionally, Veer Singh Ji maintains ownership of Six Senses. His interest in and reverence for sustainable agriculture, traditional knowledge, and ecology will continue to be fostered.
