Six Senses Douro Valley

Douro Valley

Perched atop a hill in the middle of this tranquil UNESCO World Heritage landscape, Six Senses Douro Valley is perhaps the finest hotel in northern Portugal.

Set in a beautifully renovated 19th century manor house, this was the first European hotel for the Six Senses brand, and its commitment to wellness is reflected in the exquisite spa. But this property also encapsulates the region, offering a complete immersion experience into Portuguese heritage and wine.

Spacious and filled with light, the 71 guest accommodations range from rooms and suites to private pool villas. Contrary to their traditional exteriors, rooms are contemporary and minimalist in style, though suitably indulgent with Portuguese oak flooring, earthy tones and high-quality linens. Splash out on one of the new vineyard suites for a private garden or terrace with day bed and hot tub.

Straddling an interior dining room and large outdoor terrace, the Vale de Abraão restaurant serves seasonal cuisine showcasing the finest local ingredients, with the on-site organic gardens supplying much of the fresh produce. The Quinta Bar & Lounge offers a cosy spot for a light bite and drinks, and a pop-up grill opens in the gardens during summer.

Take a refreshing dip in the outdoor pool, enjoy an indulgent treatment in the sublime spa, savour wine tasting and tapas in the wine library, and try your hand at various workshops including Portuguese cookery and tile painting.
