Six Senses Vana

Vana, a wellness retreat founded in 2014, was acquired and rebranded by Six Senses in 2023—the brand's first dedicated wellness property in India. The retreat spans 21 acres of sal forest outside Dehradun, with Himalayan foothills beyond. The wellness philosophy is multi-traditional: Ayurveda, yoga, Tibetan medicine, natural healing therapies. Six Senses layered new programming: Eat With Six Senses (nutritional), Sleep With Six Senses (circadian reset), biohacking workshops, alchemy bar sessions, and Grow With Six Senses (children's wellness, age 6+). The forest is living—you will see monkeys, birds, butterflies. The founder Veer Singh's commitment to sustainable farming and traditional wisdom is woven into the property; this is not corporate wellness theatre. Suites are contemporary (not ostentatious); the pace is slow. Multi-night programmes (7–21 days) are offered. Honest caveat: the rebranding in 2023 is recent; publicly available reviews and editorial coverage still reference the pre-Six Senses era. Pricing and programming may shift as Six Senses establishes its signature.
