Former reality television star Millie Mackintosh has offered her social media followers an exclusive glimpse into her luxurious wellness retreat experience in India. The thirty-six-year-old celebrity is currently residing at the prestigious Six Senses Vana resort, where she has been documenting her journey towards relaxation and self-discovery.
Exclusive Resort Details and Pricing
The Six Senses Vana resort provides highly personalised wellness programmes that include tailored meals and daily therapeutic treatments. For those considering a similar escape, financial planning is essential. A standard five-night package at this exclusive destination costs approximately £1,895 per person. For more extensive stays, fourteen-night retreat experiences range between £11,000 and £14,000, with pricing variations depending on seasonal factors and room occupancy arrangements.
Wellness Activities and Personal Reflections
Throughout her stay, Millie has actively participated in various wellness activities while sharing candid reflections about her experience. In one particularly striking photograph, she revealed herself wearing a vibrant green bikini, accompanied by a thoughtful caption about her emotional journey. "I didn't expect it to break me open," she wrote. "I came here for a reset. I didn't realise how much I needed to feel."
Her wellness regimen has included several specialised treatments:
- Water therapy sessions where she floated serenely while wearing her green two-piece swimsuit
- Utilisation of a Hyperice Normatec leg compression device designed to enhance physical recovery
- Acupuncture treatments and dedicated meditation practices
- Regular exercise sessions showcased in a black workout ensemble
In another relaxed moment captured on camera, Millie appeared in excellent spirits while wearing a white robe, sporting silver eye patches, and enjoying a cup of tea. She described the resort's rituals as "deeply grounding," specifically mentioning warm oil treatments and water therapy that provided both literal and emotional support.
Unexpected Discoveries and Transformative Experiences
The television personality has expressed surprise at several aspects of her Ayurvedic retreat experience. She noted that she has been moving her body more frequently, listening more attentively to its needs, and feeling "more present" than she has in a considerable time.
In a detailed Instagram post, Millie elaborated on her transformative experience: "I came to Six Senses Vana expecting a calming week, but what surprised me most was how deeply it stripped everything back, not just rest, but regulation; not just treatments, but ritual. Ayurveda doesn't follow wellness trends. Quiet and grounding, it's the kind of place that invites you inward, without pressure to perform or even to socialise."
She further revealed that within the retreat's peaceful environment, she encountered "truly incredible people with inspiring stories," making the experience "so much more than just a reset."
Background Context: Personal Journey Towards Sobriety
This wellness retreat follows Millie's public discussions about her relationship with alcohol. In a recent interview with Women's Health UK, the former Made In Chelsea star revealed she decided to quit drinking in the summer of 2022 after recognising what she described as an "addictive tendency."
Millie explained her decision-making process: "I wasn't a drinker who depended on drinking alcohol every day of the week but whenever I drank I wanted to drink to black out and drink, and drink, and drink. I recognise that urge is very unhealthy for me and it is better for me to completely abstain than to have the option of having one."
She identified herself as having "an alcohol use disorder" and recalled a pivotal moment when a severe panic attack during a hangover prompted her final decision to become sober. "That was the final moment when I said, 'Ok, I'm never drinking again'," she shared, noting that she has now maintained sobriety for three and a half years.
Millie's current wellness journey in India represents a continuation of her commitment to personal health and self-care, blending luxury retreat experiences with deeper personal transformation.
