Six Senses Vana
When we think of a Wellness Holiday in India, Six Senses Vana is the first place that comes to mind is Six Senses Vana. Their tenets of ‘rebalance, rewild, and rechild’ strongly resonate with us and being paired with luxurious stylish accommodation just makes it so much more our style. Its tranquil forest location away from the busy areas of India also pulls us into a state of reverie—placing us in the mood for meditation, yoga, and natural healing therapies. Named after the forest it takes refuge in, Six Senses Vana aims to protect and nurture, offering space for you to flourish and rebalance. Here, you are welcomed as ‘Vanavasis’ or ‘forest dwellers’ and invited to stay and reconnect with yourself and nature.

Amanbagh
Imagine a wellness holiday with guided morning walks, daily morning yoga, and afternoon tea amidst a secluded hideaway in Aravalli Hill. These are just a small part of the many reasons we love Amanbagh. Mughal-inspired structures contrasting with the natural hillside scenery and softness of the surrounding foliage lend its location an ethereal atmosphere. In the peaceful enclave of Amanbagh’s gardens, the Aman Spa stands as a haven where your well-being is prioritised. Within its walls, you can indulge in treatments crafted from centuries-old healing traditions, guided by expert therapists and an in-house Ayurvedic physician.
