The trick to getting through life is to always have a vacation booked every few months (even weeks if you’re lucky), especially with the grind of daily living and the challenges of adulting. And we’re not talking about just basic stays but luxe spots that give new meaning to living life king-size. Here are the best across the country.
Six Senses, Vana
Starting price: Rs. 71, 000*
Address: Mussoorie Road, 248001 Dehradun
There’s a reason that Vana’s a popular retreat for a host of global editors, fashion stylists and entrepreneurs. It offers wellness programs that focus on earthly living and combine Ayurveda, yoga, Tibetan medicine (Sowa Rigpa), and natural healing at a luxurious property you’d never want to leave. On site, every guest’s provided with a sustainable outfit: a loose-fitting kurta pajama to wear during their time there. Plus, all the food is 100% local and seasonal, with even their nut butter and cheese made in-house. All of this besides a volley of intention-based detoxing treatments and self-discovery practises to help you pause and find solace in the vanas (meaning forests). Just in case you thought we forgot to mention new updates, well we haven’t—a full bar is in the works, and the Six Senses Earth Lab is slated to open this year, serving as a platform to host fun life-skills workshops that’ll have you return with a souvenir.
