Six Senses Krabey Island in Cambodia has long been celebrated as a haven for serenity, but its latest debut of curated programs introduces a deeper, more soulful journey for guests seeking renewal. Designed to help travelers disconnect from the noise of daily life, these offerings draw on ancient traditions, Cambodian healing rituals, and Tibetan-inspired practices to create a holistic path toward balance, clarity, and inner peace.

The resort’s new collection of experiences reflects the Six Senses ethos of blending wellness with cultural authenticity. From multi-night retreats that interweave plant-based cuisine and personalized therapies to spiritual blessings by revered Buddhist masters, the programming transforms the island retreat into a destination for both restoration and cultural discovery.

At the heart of this transformation is the arrival of Rangdrol Rinpoche, a Buddhist master recognized as a Tulku, or reincarnated enlightened teacher. From a young age, Rinpoche’s spiritual mission has been to transmit the wisdom of his past lives, and now he brings his revered practices to Six Senses Krabey Island.

Guests can take part in intimate blessing rituals for longevity, health, and success. These private ceremonies offer an authentic connection to Buddhist traditions, infusing stays with a sense of meaning that extends far beyond the spa.

Wellness at Six Senses Krabey Island is equally about physical vitality. The new Detox Massage showcases Cambodian ingenuity, utilizing bamboo tapping to invigorate circulation and release tension. This energizing treatment targets the upper legs, glutes, lower back, hips, and abdomen with dry brushing, bamboo hitters, and silicone cups. The result is improved skin tone and elasticity, as well as a natural reduction in fluid retention and the appearance of cellulite.

Sessions are available in 60- or 90-minute formats, beginning at $120 — a modern interpretation of Cambodia’s healing traditions tailored to the needs of today’s wellness traveler.

For those seeking deeper inner transformation, Master Sherab, a wellness consultant and mindfulness practitioner, leads Tibetan-inspired practices that merge ancestral wisdom with modern relevance. With more than a decade of experience, he offers meditation coaching, Tibetan yoga, and astrology consultations designed to realign mind, body, and spirit.

• Meditation Like a Monk surrounds the body with Himalayan singing bowls, sending sound vibrations through muscles and energy pathways while guided meditation induces restorative calm and supports better sleep.

• Tibetan Astrology Consultations provide a written chart that weaves together lunar cycles, karmic influences, and elemental forces, offering a personalized guide to life balance and self-care.

• Tibetan Yoga incorporates gentle asanas, mantra chanting, and mindful breathing to restore equilibrium and release energetic blockages.

Together, these offerings expand the retreat’s wellness identity into a realm that feels both ancient and timeless.

To create lasting impact, Six Senses Krabey Island has introduced multi-night wellness journeys available in three-, five-, or seven-night stays. Each program is tailored to individual goals, combining Ayurvedic consultations, private yoga or meditation sessions, signature massages, immersive Alchemy Bar workshops, and a plant-based culinary program. Daily breakfast at AHA Restaurant and nourishing dinners crafted with locally sourced ingredients further root each stay in sustainable, mindful living.

With its new programming, Six Senses Krabey Island elevates luxury travel in Cambodia by merging wellness with cultural immersion. Each ritual, treatment, and personalized journey is an invitation to reconnect — with oneself, with ancient wisdom, and with the beauty of the island. In doing so, the property redefines what it means to escape: not simply to step away from daily demands, but to return renewed, centered, and deeply transformed.
