The Soleil 6 was created around a simple observation: luxury travel had changed, but much of the industry had not caught up. Today’s HNI travellers are looking for more than impressive destinations. They want privacy, time and experiences that feel considered rather than familiar.
Founded by Ananya Mago in Mumbai in October 2025, The Soleil 6 is a travel and lifestyle brand built on curation. It came out of an intimate workshop with the people who know Ananya best, bringing together pieces of her life and the way she sees the world. The feeling began with her ideal holiday weather: sunshine on a crisp, cold day, radiant light with a lingering warmth. “Soleil” carries a nod to cherished French travels as well as the sun as a quiet force that leads and brings everything to life. The 6 is her birth date, connected by her best friend to the numerological number of understated luxury.
That personal thinking carries into how the brand works. Instead of offering endless options, The Soleil 6 focuses on finding the right ones, beginning with an understanding of how a client lives, what they enjoy and what the journey means to them.
The brand also builds relationships with local guides, hosts, chefs and specialists who know their destinations intimately. These connections can lead to the details that make a journey memorable: a table with the best view, a village worth the detour or an experience that cannot be found in a standard itinerary.
For Ananya, luxury is ultimately about freedom. It is having time you can protect, privacy you do not have to ask for and the ability to slow down when everything else is moving quickly. That belief informs the way she approaches both the brand and her own life.
She is equally deliberate about what The Soleil 6 does not do. Ananya believes saying no is one of the most powerful tools she has, allowing the brand to protect its standards, its time and its reputation.
In its first year, The Soleil 6 worked with more than 50 clients across India, the UK, Eastern Europe and the Middle East, many through personal recommendation. Its next chapter will extend beyond travel into a broader lifestyle world, including curated global events.
Ananya’s vision is for The Soleil 6 to become an Indian-born, globally minded benchmark in luxury lifestyle and travel, proving that an Indian brand can set the standard on a global stage.
