My stay at Vana was nothing short of exceptional. As someone experiencing a wellness retreat of this nature for the first time, I arrived with curiosity and left with deep appreciation for what Vana has managed to create. It is far more than a luxury retreat—it is an ecosystem where wellness, mindfulness, hospitality, and human connection come together seamlessly. From the beautifully designed surroundings and tranquil natural setting to the thoughtfully curated wellness programs, every aspect of the experience reflects a clear sense of purpose. However, what stood out most was the team at Vana. Every team member I encountered embodied the ethos of Vana with remarkable sincerity and clear understanding. The service here deserves special recognition. The team not only understands hospitality but also deeply understands the wellness journey each guest is undertaking, which really stood out for us. Needs are often anticipated before they are expressed and there is a sense of genuine care in every engagement. At most places we end up singling out a few individuals for exceptional service. At Vana, doing so almost feels unfair. The true achievement lies in the collective spirit of the entire team. There is a rare sense of oneness and cohesiveness across departments, creating an experience that feels effortless. It is this shared commitment that elevates Vana from being an excellent retreat to a truly memorable one. Overall, this was an exemplary stay and one that has inspired me to explore many more wellness journeys in the future. A few suggestions that could make the experience even richer: • Introducing a daily live raag, flute, or classical instrumental session in the Kila could add another beautiful sensory dimension to the evenings. • Expanding the evening activity calendar with a few additional offerings may further enhance guest engagement during the quieter hours. • An occasional communal satsang-style gathering after dinner at the Bodhi could create meaningful opportunities for reflection and shared learnings. Vana has created something genuinely special—a place where wellness is not merely offered as a service but lived as a culture. I look forward to returning.

Surreal! Amazing property that blends with the Himalayan surroundings seamlessly. Wonderful treatments and great staff. Overall quite happy with the experience.

Vana is one of my favorite places in the world. I've been in so many wellness retreats and nothing compares to Vana. Absolutely every single experiencial, visual detail is aligned to its vision to cultivate wellness in every level, body, mind and spirit. The facilities are incredibly gorgeous, comfortable and designed to make your journey a temporary home with amazing walking paths to enjoy nature and to find spaces for contemplation. The individual healing program designed for you is truly intentional and the level of the therapist is outstanding. The food is amazing and you can take home their delicious Ayurvedic recipes cookbook! Vana team embodies kindness and everyone is aligned to the pulse and DNA of the place. My whole experience every time I come to Vana is totally restorative, healing and I depart inspired and with tools to create a daily ecosystem to cultivate wellness back home and lead a more conscious, balanced life as an artist living the intensity of New York reality. Thank you Vana team!

The Ultimate Investment in Self: A True Homecoming My annual return to Six Senses Vana is more than a holiday; it is a profound gift to oneself. In a world defined by the relentless 'rat race,' Vana represents the most vital investment one can make. What sets this sanctuary apart is its seamless, lifestyle-driven approach. The integration of wellness, nourishing cuisine, and thoughtful programming—all set against a backdrop of stunning art and nature—creates a complete 'reset.' While a seven-night stay is restorative, I have found that two weeks or more are truly transformational. The most exceptional element, however, is the deeply caring team. They facilitate an experience where wellness doesn't end at checkout; you carry the practices home, enhancing your longevity long after you leave. It is inspiring to meet fellow guests here who visit multiple times a year—a testament to the magnetism of this place. Vana is truly a space nurtured with extreme care.

Vana is an outstanding wellness facility. Six senses have collaborated with them, but everything remains the same as before! I hv been visiting it twice a year fr a number of years. The ambience, food and treatments are incomparable to any such facility in India! Luxury at its best..comparable to any wellness place on earth! . As is the service. Team Vana are brilliant. Special thanks to Alfina, Vibhuti, and Narayan. And in the wellness team Prashanti and Maya are brilliant as is Priya! Vana has a divine energy.. fr people who can harness it. The only complaint I hv is that mobiles should NOT be allowed at any cost! It was a strict rule earlier and shld be implemented again! I had a disturbing experience during one yognidra session when someone’s mobile started ringing. The session got disrupted! Apart from this, Vana is heaven on earth!!
