Experience a dreamlike backdrop of vine-covered hills and the majestic Douro River at Six Senses Douro Valley. Located in the world's oldest demarcated wine region, the resort welcomes you to a beautifully renovated 19th-century manor house with magnificent gardens, forests, and sweeping panoramas. Indulge in modern treatments at the spa, sample exquisite tapas with views of the vineyards, and enjoy the ultimate luxury of a constantly refilled wine glass. The city of Porto, charming historic villages, and other Portuguese destinations are all nearby.
Step into the Six Senses Spa, where Portuguese tradition meets the elements of water, stone, and wood. Take a dip in the indoor pool overlooking the garden, dive deeper into relaxation with underwater sound therapy and massage jets, unwind in the vitality pool, or treat yourself to a treatment—choose from color therapy and cryotherapy, among others. A fitness center with experienced personal trainers is also at your disposal before you devote yourself to the wonderful nature. Experience the picturesque Douro Valley up close on river cruises through the valley, stomping port wine grapes, hiking to prehistoric rock carvings, canyoning, mountain biking, or exciting helicopter tours through the Douro Valley.
Enjoy one of 60 guest accommodations, including rooms with panoramic views of the Douro Valley, spacious suites with floor-to-ceiling windows, private balconies, and wooden bridges leading to secret gardens. All rooms have been carefully renovated to combine traditional highlights with the natural style of Six Senses. In 2017, the resort in Portugal was named the best performing resort in design by Virtuoso. If you're longing for a dream vacation with postcard views, opt for the Vineyard Rooftop Suite with its own garden terrace and private hot tub.
The restaurants at Six Senses Douro Valley celebrate the region. Most of the produce comes from the valley, the surrounding countryside, or the hotel's own organic garden. Enjoy seasonal tasting menus at The Vale de Abraão Restaurant – when the sun is shining, it's best to sit on the spacious outdoor terrace with views of the vineyards and fountain. Tapas and cheese platters are available at the Quinta Bar and Lounge while you play a game of pool, and the Wine Library and Terrace offers a first-class selection of wines before or after your meal. From June to September, the pop-up summer garden on the Douro also delights guests with the finest meat, fresh fish, and delicious vegetables from the garden grill.
Experience luxury and wellness in the world's oldest demarcated wine region. Perched high on a hill, Six Senses Douro Valley overlooks the third-longest river on the Iberian Peninsula.
