Six Senses Vana

Dehradun, India

In the heart of the lush forest at the foot of the Himalayas in Dehradun, Six Senses Vana is much more than a wellness sanctuary: it is an immersive experience where well-being and serenity come together for profound transformation. 

From the moment you arrive, everything is carefully orchestrated. A personalized consultation with a doctor assesses your energy balance to tailor your program: yoga, Tibetan medicine, Ayurvedic treatments, and healing cuisine inspired by Ayurveda. 

The rooms, elegant and spacious, open onto the forest for perfect harmony with nature. In true Six Senses spirit, the minimalist architecture enhances the environment while embracing a sustainable approach. 

Everything is included in your stay, with experiences renewed daily: meditation, hikes, wellness sessions... Six Senses Vana also welcomes many solo female travelers, offering dedicated programs for women and menopause, as well as pre- and postnatal stays and mother-daughter retreats. 

To live Vana is to offer yourself a rare luxury: time, silence, and renewal.

It offers a culinary experience deeply connected to Ayurvedic principles, adapting meals to the three doshas Vata, Pitta, and Kapha to promote inner harmony. Menus are recommended according to individual medical consultations.
