Six Senses will welcome the Vana wellness retreat in India’s Himalayan foothills into its portfolio from autumn 2022.
Vana will become the brand’s second property in India, joining the existing Six Senses Fort Barwara in Rajasthan.
The resort, which specialises in health and wellbeing, offers ayurveda, yoga and Tibetan medicine among its services. Vana features 66 rooms and 16 suites, all with balconies or terraces, on the estate overlooking either the Sal forest or the gardens and fruit orchards.
Neil Jacobs, Six Senses chief executive, said: “With its ancient healing traditions and spiritual practices, India has long been heralded as the ultimate wellness gateway and, in a gentle but intentional way, this plays to who we are too.
“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.”
