Salana

The main restaurant and meeting space, with menus that change with the seasons. Menus are à la carte and accompanied by a carefully chosen buffet at breakfast and lunch. Expect beautifully presented, delicate, pure, uncomplicated flavours and fragrant yet not overly spiced curries, savoury and naturally sweet dishes with options including allergy-friendly, vegetarian, and vegan options as well as mindfully sourced meat, fish, and poultry.

Añayu

The cuisine is also a vital contributor to the preservation and revival of Six Senses Vana’s culture and traditions. Bringing together Indian- inspired recipes and Ayurvedic principles, Añayu’s menu is crafted to serve each of the three body types – Vata, Pitta, and Kapha.

Time for Tea

Situated within Kila, the nerve center of the Retreat, the tea bar brews traditional remedies like Bramhi and dosha-balancing blends that favour Vata, Pitta, or Kapha. You can explore exotic infusions with homegrown lavender, tulsi, chamomile, cinnamon, fennel, and carom seeds while relaxing in serene surroundings or while listening to occasional traditional Indian live music performances.

Apothecary

Prescribed by the doctors and based on the principles of Ayurveda, Tibetan Medicine, and naturopathy, the apothecary creates decoctions, infusions, herb mixtures, and tropical applications that are grown in, not flown in, indigenous, and intentional.

To maintain uniformity and stress the fact that Vana treats all guests as equal, organically made kurta pyjamas are provided for guests to wear around the retreat which means that you can pack lightly!
