Six Senses Vana

nmste jii !! Special thanks to Narayan ji and the Chef and the whole team for delightful culinary experience. I'm still reeling from my recent stay at Six Senses, a truly life-transforming experience! From the moment I arrived, I felt like I'd entered a piece of heaven. The warmth and equality that permeate every aspect of the retreat are truly remarkable - everyone's smile and kindness know no bounds. The delicious, farm-to-table food, sourced from their own garden and local farmers, was a highlight. But it was the activities that really stole the show: yoga, dhyaanaam, cooking lessons, medicinal remedy-making with spices, and music healing sessions. Each experience was informative, engaging, and left me feeling enriched. What truly sets Six Senses nmste jii apart is their commitment to sustainability and the warmth of their crew. Every detail, from the staff's uniform attire to the thoughtful touches throughout the property, reflects a deep dedication to creating a holistic and nurturing environment. If you're looking for a retreat that will transform your life, look no further. Six Senses a true gem.

The place to go to where you can reconnect with yourself, your mind and your body. I always say its the best place to go for mental detox, and have been doing it religiously for the past 5 years. There is a certain peace that radiates through Vana which instantly calms you down, and the staff are absolutely amazing. Whether its your first time or 5th, they know exactly what is recommended for you, and ensure you get the meals designated for you. Some of the best staff and service, i have encountered in my numerous global travels.

We did 1500km around North India in 7 days, and were in desperate need of an oasis in the travelling storm,|We found it at Six Senses- Vana.||The drive to Deradun can be a bit painful, so make sure you make the time.||Upon arrival, we were greeted at the Welome centre, a small, separated building from the main complex.||We were introduced to the Six Senses ethos and then whisked away to the Killa, which is the main communal building that has both restaurants and wellness centre. ||One of the first things you do is your health and wellbeing consult. This is done by Ayurvedic doctors.|Mine assessment was spot on!||They when suggest the best treatments for you and the diet you should follow for your stay||Phone are only allowed in your room and a business area which is great.|The WiFi in these areas is very good.|No WiFi anywhere else to avoid temptation.||The serenity of the place is amazing. For only being a few hundred meters from the main city roads, you may think you want to go into Dehradun, but with full board, why would you want to leave?!?||The forest area behind the property is beautiful. The gardens, of manicured gardens and bamboo trees are so tranquil that you can forget that you are close to a bustling city. ||There is a beautiful tree grove next to the Ayurvedic centre with swing seats for two. The rest of the amenities are too lovely to mention, but of worthy note is the Gym. ||One of two pools, the outdoor infinity pool is perfect for laps and getting some sun. Again, just wonderful.||All the treatments are done to the highest quality, with same-sex therapists.||We were completely blown away by just how much our food intake changed and the lack of cravings for sweet, processed and hollow-calorie foods.||The staff are fantastic, with some stand-out people in F&B, such as,||Vibhooti|Ashendra |Raghav|Abhi||If you can get an appointment with Dr Dimple, you will not regret it!||I would ask Six Senses to consider better communication between the Pre-stay health form we filled out and the understanding of our requests/requirements upon arrival, as there was a bit of a dis-connect in this regard.||Saying that, we could not fault the Six Senses in anything else. ||We would like to thank the whole team for making this one of the most memorable experiences we have had.

It's very sad that the representatives of this prestige hotel are doing such things. On 3rd of march a group of foreigners were visiting parmarth niketan and nearby areas. There I saw that the staff from hotel were deliberately taking them to some specific shops and since I am local I know how this works. They take you to the shops where they have a fixed commission of upto 60 percent. What it means is that the stores will charge the customer, upto 60 percent more to give to the staff who brought them to the store. It's none of my business but when I saw a lovely couple buying things for a total stranger and experienced the kindness...I couldnt stop but write here. A place as good as Vana, so highly looked at, allows their staff to do such things and spend the hard earned money of people like this. Its very sad and unfortunate.

I can't even begin to describe how wonderful Vana is. From the moment I was picked up from Delhi Airport, I was already well taken cared of with the car well-stocked for my 5 hour ride to Vana with all the healthy, delicious snacks, still and sparkling water, cold towels, fennel seeds and ginger for motion sickness. The car seat can also fully recline so I was mostly asleep for the ride. As soon as I got to Vana, I was treated warmly, settled down in my room, had lunch and it was time for my wellness consultation. Dr. Prashant used a device to measure my imbalances and tailored a program for me for the next 5 nights. Let me start off with the food - it's sublime. The food is so healthy and delicious that everytime I emerge from either Salana or Anayu (Ayurveda based cuisine), I feel great and my body nourished. This is the only place where a scoop of ice cream or sorbet is only 25-40 calories! My body can feel that the ingredients are fresh! The F&B team also knows what the doctor prescribed me - food wise and apothecaries (herbal teas or juices). And the F&B staff have been phenomenal - they always serve with an authentic smile and nothing is too hard for them. Just request for it and they make it happen. Next up - the Ayurveda Center. I did a massage and this herbal scrub called Utsadana prescribed by my doctor and the treatments relaxed me! I also love the herbal oils they used on me. Then the Sowa Rigpa (Tibetan) Center is also very unique for me. I've never had Tibetan treatments before and they're very relaxing and I love they use 3 different oils in the massages. My hair and body loved them! Then the Wellness Center - the acupuncture and moxibustion treatments I got helped with my water retention. Then the Dukan - I really have to special mention Vivek as he has helped me with so many questions about the products in the store and didn't pressure me in getting anything. I did end up picking up tibetan incense, a bracelet of red coral, copper water bottle, and Subtle Energies product. In addition, I also wanted specific gemstones for my astrology birth chart and has given me advice and support throughout getting them. Lastly, I was blessed to have celebrated Diwali at Vana and boy, that was such a lovely experience. The Vana team curated fun activities filled with light and color and it's really such great fun. The guests at Vana also reflect the positive energy of the place - I've made some friends who I truly hope I'll stay in touch with. They really got something special here in Dehradun. I highly recommend you go experience it for yourself!

Spent 5 incredible days at Vana Spa in Dehradhun. The ambience and amazing care and hospitality of every team member cannot be beat. The different range of services teamed up with different activities throughout the day is such a treat. Will always try to go back every time we make a trip to India.

One is taken care of from when the booking is first made. Staff take pride in giving you bits of info pre arrival. Once on site, nothing a challenge for staff whatsoever. A customer service staff is assigned to attend to each query you may have. My wife and I fortunately also got to meet the Director HR....wow....another wonderful Human being! Rahul is forever customer focused and as one would expect.....he hires like personnel to manage the guests. You cannot go wrong here. Staff are simply alert on top of their game! I spent three nights....wish I could have stayed a few more days! Great experience for sure.|Cheers....Victor
