A Week at Six Senses Vana - India’s Ultimate Wellness Retreat

10 days from £5,150 for 2024 per person

In our opinion Six Senses Vana is the best wellness retreat in India - if not anywhere in the world. We have been sending clients to Vana for over 10 years, and our founder James Jayasundera is also a regular visitor. Ampersand has a great relationship with Vana’s founder Veer Singh, and his team who have created a meaningful and sincere wellness experience that will appeal to those seeking balance in a contemporary environment. It is the ideal place to spend a week getting your body and spirit aligned, assisted by experts, specialists and therapists in the height of hospitality and comfort in an incredibly beautiful location.

Based on James’ experiences and those of our clients, we recommend doing the following:

  • Spend a few days in India before going to Vana. This allows you to recover from the journey, adjust to the time difference and adapt one’s body clock. Treatments work best on a rested body, if you want to be mindful about the effects the treatment are having on you, it is very difficult to feel this coming straight off a long haul journey. We therefore recommend a stay at the Oberoi Delhi where you can rest and recover from the journey, without worrying about missing treatments.
  • Reach Vana as soon as you can in the morning. You will have a health assessment on arrival, after which they will create your programme for your stay. If you arrive early, the assessment and programme can be done that same day, which is the best possible way to start your retreat!
  • Return home from Vana as soon as you can after your stay. At the end of your retreat you will be filled with excitement and resolve to start a healthier life – take full advantage of this extra enthusiasm, energy and drive!

Client Testimonials

Ampersand’s preparation, attention to detail and interaction before and during our trip show exactly why good travel agents have a role in today’s internet booking age. They were a delight to deal with!
- Mr David Wallace, North India
Without question, you put together the best trip I have ever taken. We were shown around like visiting dignitaries, the hotels were fantastic and the itinerary was just right. Everybody I know will hear about how amazing Ampersand is!
- Leslie Siben, India
Difficult to articulate just how good the service from you and your team really was. We know you will continue to do well and hope we have the chance to seek your assistance again before long.
- Mr & Mrs Manson, North India
I thought the Ampersand team was outstanding. We couldn’t have hoped for anything more.
- Mr Geoffrey Johnson, India
So many highlights to choose from! The hotels were amazing but Maya Villa was a highlight… I loved just hanging out in the hammock reading my book and watching the peacocks chase the cows!
- Krista Weir, Sri Lanka
Everything you did for us whilst we were away was hugely appreciated, and Ampersand has been exemplary in every way. I'll always recommend you!
- Mr Richard Stoughton, Sri Lanka
Ampersand provided a bespoke and flexible holiday, tailored to my every whim. Their highly professional staff had only one goal which was to arrange an exceptional holiday and some unforgettable experiences in India. I have no hesitation in fully recommending them and they will be the first company I approach in the future - 10/10
- Anonymous, India
I had a very lovely time and was looked after splendidly. My first visit to India could not have been better, save for being longer! But I shall return at some point and I shall look to you to make the arrangements.
- Matthew Nicklin, North India
I would recommend Ampersand without any hesitation!!! The best travel agent that I’ve ever had. Everything – from the individual care and attention in planning the trip, through to the efficiency of the agents on the ground in India – was handled brilliantly. An absolutely first-class service all round!
- Matthew Annable, Rajasthan, India
We had a wonderful holiday - everything was perfect. Thank you for helping us to make a thoughtful plan to enjoy and make most out of our trip. The places we visited, the guides, the transportation and driver, the hotels selected... Everything was great!
- Jaime Benitez, South India
