Six Senses
Vana
A sanctuary of extraordinary wellbeing in the foothills of the Himalayas — where Ayurveda, Yoga, Traditional Tibetan Medicine, and cutting-edge wellness programmes converge in one of India's most transformative luxury retreats.
A Himalayan Sanctuary
for the Whole Self
Nestled in the verdant foothills of the Himalayas in Dehradun, Six Senses Vana is one of India's most celebrated luxury wellness retreats. Set across a 21-acre estate of manicured lawns, sal forests, and Himalayan gardens, Vana offers a rare convergence of India's most powerful healing traditions — Ayurveda, classical Yoga, Tibetan Medicine, and contemporary wellness science.
The name "Vana" means forest in Sanskrit — and the retreat embodies this spirit of natural abundance and quiet restoration. With 82 luxurious villas and suites, world-class treatment pavilions, three distinct dining experiences, and personalised wellness programmes, Six Senses Vana redefines what a healing retreat can be.
Each guest's journey begins with a comprehensive wellness consultation — drawing from Ayurvedic dosha assessment, bio-markers, and lifestyle analysis — to create a fully personalised programme that addresses the root causes of imbalance rather than merely the symptoms.
Ayurveda & Panchakarma
Classical Kerala and North Indian Ayurvedic traditions delivered by senior Ayurvedic physicians in state-of-the-art treatment pavilions.
Classical Yoga
Daily Hatha, Ashtanga, Yin, and restorative Yoga led by masters in the Himalayan tradition — tailored to each guest's programme.
Tibetan Medicine
Rare access to authentic Tibetan healing — Ku Nye massage, Moxibustion, herbal formulations, and energy-based therapies.
Science-Backed Wellness
Biometric testing, sleep analysis, nutrition science, and longevity protocols — modern science woven seamlessly with ancient wisdom.
Therapies &
Treatments
At Six Senses Vana, every therapy is preceded by an in-depth consultation with senior wellness practitioners. Programmes draw from Ayurveda, classical Yoga, Tibetan Medicine, and evidence-based wellness science — all woven into a single, seamlessly personalised journey designed to restore the whole person.
Abhyanga & Panchakarma
Authentic Ayurvedic oil therapies and the full five-fold Panchakarma purification — prescribed and supervised by senior Ayurvedic physicians for deep cellular detoxification.
Shirodhara
A gentle, continuous stream of warm medicated oil over the forehead — the signature Ayurvedic treatment for stress, anxiety, insomnia, and deep nervous system restoration.
Tibetan Ku Nye Massage
Authentic Tibetan healing massage using medicinal butters and oils — balancing the body's energy channels, releasing deep-seated tension, and restoring energetic harmony.
Moxibustion
The traditional Tibetan and Ayurvedic application of heat to specific energy points — warming the body's channels, improving circulation, and treating cold-natured imbalances.
Classical Yoga & Pranayama
Daily personalised Yoga — Hatha, Ashtanga, Yin, and Restorative — with Himalayan masters. Integrated with pranayama and meditation for complete mind-body-spirit balance.
Sound Healing & Meditation
Himalayan singing bowl sessions, guided meditation, Nada Yoga, and breathwork — profound tools for stilling the mind and accessing deep states of inner peace.
Biometric Wellness Testing
Advanced biometric assessments — gut health, sleep analysis, stress markers, and longevity indicators — enabling precision wellness programmes rooted in your unique biology.
Njavara & Herbal Therapies
Medicated rice bolus and herbal bundle fomentation — deeply nourishing for muscles, skin, and the nervous system. Highly effective for neurological and musculoskeletal conditions.
Hydrotherapy & Sleep Science
Thermal hydrotherapy circuits, sleep restoration protocols, and circadian rhythm programmes — using water, heat, and evidence-based science to deeply restore the body.

Natural Rhythms

Rise with the Himalayan foothills in the mist. Begin with herbal teas, oil pulling, and a mindful walk through Vana's sal forest as dawn light filters through the trees.
Yoga & Treatment
Morning Yoga in the open shalas flows into your physician-designed Ayurvedic or Tibetan medicine sessions — oils, fomentation, and personalised therapeutic procedures.
Nourishment & Rest
Sattvic Himalayan meals at Anamaya restaurant, followed by deep rest in your villa. Optional afternoon activities — cooking classes, nature walks, or cultural experiences.
Stillness & Reflection
Sound healing, Yoga Nidra, or evening meditation as the Himalayan sky turns gold. A nourishing dinner closes the day in complete calm and luminous inner clarity.
