Wellness stories
Based on science, written like fiction. From chanting monks in Bhutan to smoothies in Samui and beating jet lag like astronauts, here are all the things that made us go "huh". From tried and tested methods handed down through generations at our resorts to the latest tech: if it's about wellness we try to cover it.
Breathing beauty
Everyone is talking about breathwork, but what is it? This newish term means consciously breathing in a certain way for better performance or therapeutic effect. Results can be instant and long-lasting!

Slow food, soul food
How we grow, source, serve and not waste food impacts our guests, environment and local cultures and livelihoods. Home or locally grown food deserves love and attention, so at Six Senses Kaplankaya and Six Senses Douro Valley, we go slow.
Slow is your superpower
According to the voice of the Slow Movement Carl Honoré, slow transforms every kind of travel. Family vacations. Romantic getaways. Work trips. Even the morning commute. It turns every journey into a balm for the soul and a banquet for the senses.
Balance your kapha
Ever wondered why your inner voice is driven by the needs of a bear during the winter? It’s the season of kapha, when the pace should slow. Check out advice and therapies from resident Ayurvedic Doctor Gupta at Six Senses Spa Shaharut, Israel.
When things got scientific, spiritual and psychedelic
Whether seeking a release, a revelation, or restoration, Six Senses Kaplankaya is open through the winter for wellness. High altitude training, yoga, Watsu, Deep Trance Light Therapy and a 35-treatment room spa, you’re in for a trip.
