At Six Senses, wellness extends far beyond the spa. It’s a holistic, integrated philosophy woven into every moment, from intentional retreats that draw on ancient wisdom to advanced science-backed technologies. For those at the forefront of today’s leadership landscape, research consistently shows that wellbeing is not a luxury; it is an imperative. High-performing executives who prioritize sleep, mindfulness, and regular movement consistently demonstrate sharper judgment, greater emotional intelligence, and more balanced decision-making.
Mark Sands, Six Senses Vice President of Wellness, says: “Too often, a CEO is operating on autopilot and not registering the behaviors that are negatively impacting their nervous system. This not only has a harmful impact on how they show up, but also has a ripple effect on their business, colleagues, and contemporaries.”

Across the globe, all Six Senses properties champion an ethos of restoration and intentional living, from country estates to mountain vistas and oceanfront beach retreats. A good place to start is the first dedicated Six Senses wellness retreat. Set within 21 acres of forest in the foothills of the Indian Himalayas, Six Senses Vana is less detox, more recalibration. Digital devices and work attire are swapped for white kurta pajamas and an Integrated Wellness Philosophy informed by the traditional systems of Ayurveda and Tibetan Medicine.
When combined with a daily program of out-of-the-ordinary experiences, whether immersing in an Aarti ceremony or spending moments of reflection by the Ganges, the retreat offers time and space where C-suite executives can finally exhale, realign with purpose, and return to their lives not just rested, but reawakened. This aids decision-making, builds resilience under pressure, and supports leading with clarity, calm, and purpose.
