Six Senses Vana Uttarakhand

Six Senses Vana is a wellness retreat nestled amidst Sal forests in Dehradun, close to the foothills of the Indian Himalayas. A search for equilibrium, learning, and the inner journey lies at the heart of Six Senses Vana. Drawing inspiration from its literal meaning–forest–it is a place that protects, nurtures and nourishes, while offering space to discover and flourish. Guests who stay here are known as Vanavasis.

Dehradun is easily accessible from Delhi by road, rail or air, approximately one hour by flight or five to six hours by road or train. Whichever route you choose, the journey is simple. On arrival, lush greenery and the Himalayas form a serene backdrop, setting the tone for what follows.

At Six Senses Vana, authentic traditions of wellness, medicine and wisdom come together with creative thought and deep personal commitment. The structured frameworks of Ayurveda, Sowa Rigpa (Tibetan healing) and Yoga are mindfully integrated with contemporary wellness practices. These unfold within spaces designed as a homage to nature, calm, grounded and restorative.

Every Vanavasi begins their retreat with a private consultation and wellness screening. A personalised wellness itinerary is then created, aligned to individual goals. This includes private treatments from Ayurveda, Tibetan healing and Yoga, complemented by Traditional Chinese Medicine, fitness sessions and curated retreat activities. Guests may also choose additional à la carte therapies.

Group sessions include yoga, meditation, breathwork, music therapy, guided walks, hikes, mindful cuisine experiences and fitness. Indian musical performances, festivities and spiritual practices further enrich the journey. Throughout the year, Six Senses Vana also hosts visiting specialists and themed retreats.

From the moment you arrive, the architecture, blending modern design with natural materials, creates a sense of calm. Rooms overlook the forest, offering quiet spaces for reflection. Meals are thoughtfully prepared, nourishing and balanced, guided by individual wellness goals and served with warmth and attentiveness.

Six Senses Vana is not simply a retreat; it is a deeply personal wellness journey, one that nurtures the mind, body and spirit with care and intention.
