Six Senses Vana is a Wellness Retreat nestled amongst Sal forest in Dehradun, close to the foothills of the Indian Himalayas. A search for equilibrium, learning and the inner journey are at the heart of Six Senses Vana. Six Senses Vana draws inspiration from its literal meaning - forest - a place that protects, nurtures and nourishes, while providing space to discover and flourish. Those that choose to take abode within Six Senses Vana are referred to as Vanavasis.
Transfers from Dehradun’s Jolly Grant airport take around 60 minutes via a scenic route and Dehradun railway station is a 30-minute drive, with two daily trains and two overnight trains from New Delhi Railway Station, both taking six hours. The drive from Delhi to Dehradun takes approximately five to six hours depending on traffic.
The main restaurant and meeting space, with menus that change with the seasons. Menus are à la carte and accompanied by a carefully chosen buffet at breakfast and lunch.

They offer allergy-friendly, vegetarian, and vegan options as well as mindfully sourced meat, fish, and poultry.
Anayu's cuisine is also a vital contributor to the preservation and revival of culture and traditions. Bringing together Indian inspired recipes and Ayurvedic principles, Anayu’s menu is crafted to serve each of the three body types – Vata, Pitta, and Kapha.
Situated within Kila, the nerve center of the Retreat, this tea bar brews traditional remedies like Bramhi and dosha-balancing blends that favour Vata, Pitta, or Kapha. You can explore exotic infusions with homegrown lavender, tulsi, chamomile, cinnamon, fennel, and carom seeds while relaxing in serene surroundings or while listening to occasional traditional Indian live music performances.
