October 14, 2025 - A season of stillness within the serenity of the Himalayan foothills prepares you for what’s next. Experts at Six Senses Vana will guide you to radiant rejuvenation among all the festivities.
There is a pause that belongs only to winter. The trees know it. The soil knows it. Yet we often forget it in a whirl of socializing, feasting, and celebrating that can leave us depleted. To keep your wellness on track, Six Senses Vana calls you to feel your vibrant best during the season of good cheer.
Traditional wisdom regards winter as the optimal time to embrace Ayurvedic therapies. From October to February, the air cools and the environment quiets, allowing the body’s Agni (digestive fire) to naturally strengthen. In the Sowa-Rigpa Tibetan healing system, the season aligns with a cycle of restoration, encouraging balance through warm oils, nourishing food, rest, and spiritual practice.
Head Ayurveda Clinician Dr. Jayachandran explains: “Winter offers an essential moment to turn inward, recharge, and lay the foundations for the seasons ahead. At Six Senses Vana, you’ll find space and guidance to reconnect with yourself and go as deep as you wish without distraction.”
Recent honors confirm you’re in excellent hands. We’re thrilled to be named Asia’s Leading Wellness Retreat in the World Travel Awards, and to be featured in the Robb Report Best of the Best – Wellness Retreats Edition.
Ayurveda Panchakarma is a deeply transformative retreat, designed to cleanse, rejuvenate, and restore balance through a supported detoxification process. Our Ayurvedic doctors and therapists begin with a Wellness Consultation to identify your dosha (Vata, Pitta, Kapha) and ensure it is the right pathway for you. They then curate a highly personalized 21-night program of treatments.
This includes Ayurvedic therapies, fitness, yoga, meditation, natural healing, Tibetan practices, and a yogic intestinal cleanse. Complemented by delicious, beautifully presented cuisine that heals you from the inside, and the calm surroundings of our serene resort, this retreat realigns you with your natural energy, gently embeds healthy habits, and helps you sparkle all winter.
It can be a challenge to maintain your optimal weight over the festive season. Our Weight Management program combines movement, dietary reset, herbal support, and inner work to improve metabolic health according to your dosha.
Clean, light menus reduce inflammation, enhance sleep, and increase vitality while still being delicious and nourishing. Yoga, Ayurvedic treatments, cleansing therapies, and Tibetan healing all boost your confidence, while personalized guidance ensures you continue your progress long after returning home.
While these programs offer focused entry points, the ongoing wellness framework is always present so you can shape your experience around its core healing modalities:
Two bespoke retreats are taking place this winter. In November, Alchemy of Taste: A Culinary Retreat invites you to explore seasonal eating and intuitive cooking, discovering the healing power of herbs, spices, and Ayurvedic principles. In December, Shades of Becoming: Art Retreat with Siraj Saxena guides you toward inner peace through painting, stillness, and creative expression.
Whether you’re seeking restoration, creative reawakening, or space to simply be, this winter, Six Senses Vana will hold that space for you. Take advantage of our longer stay offers when you visit before Christmas.
