Since 2014, Vana – a wellness retreat in Dehradun, Uttarakhand has been a sanctuary for rebalancing, healing, and learning, based on its aspiration to help guests achieve the best spiritual, emotional, physical, and intellectual potential. It further aims to strengthen its wellness offerings and weave in new experiences for a global audience by collaborating with the Six Senses brand and becoming– Six Senses Vana. “Vana comes to us with a strong philosophy and loyal Vanavasi clientele manifested by founder Veer Singh. The seed was sown in Veer’s mind through his deep interest in and respect for sustainable farming, traditional wisdom, and nature, which we will continue to nurture under the Six Senses brand. This marriage made in the Himalayas allows us to build on what exists with some of our signature experiences”, says CEO of Six Senses Neil Jacobs.

As a mindful oasis away from the noise and activity, the natural-toned rooms and suites, all with balconies or terraces, overlook the Sal forest or gardens designed comfortably to evoke a sense of harmony. From mantras to meditation, massages and activating the mula bandha, Six Senses Vana will lead guests to a purposeful transformation. Commenting on the latest chapter in the Vana story, founder Veer Singh adds, “Vana becoming Six Senses Vana is the most natural and logical progression for this precious and beautiful retreat. I am excited to see how they will deepen and strengthen our current offering and complement it with signature experiences they have successfully tried and tested around the world. I see no reason why Six Senses Vana will not become what we set out to be when Vana first opened: the most iconic wellness retreat in the world.”
