Six Senses Douro Valley

Perched on the golden hillside above the winding River Douro and sweeping vineyards, Six Senses Douro Valley is the hidden gem of Portugal. Embracing the romance of 19th Century manor house, the 60 rooms and suites look out onto the 19-acre estate and beyond. This luxury hotel presents the perfect pairing of wellness retreat and wine, with many of the oldest wine producers right on the doorstep.

With an impressive spa and wellness programmes, there is plenty to experience, from al-fresco yoga to Alchemy classes. Discover the medicinal benefits of herbs and plants with an expert before producing your own personal scrub using fresh ingredients from the organic gardens.

The Rooms

Six Senses Douro Valley’s elegant rooms and suites boast charming vistas of the river, woodlands, and vineyards. Unwind as the sun sets behind the hills from the comfort of your private terrace or wake up to panoramic vistas of both river and vine from the comfort of your bed. Designed with the elegance of Six Senses with a nod to the traditions of an era past, your private haven can also include a hot tub and an impressive wine fridge.

The Experience

Learn to cook up a storm with a Portuguese cooking lesson or create body scrubs and masks with medicinal herbs, salts and fruit at the Alchemy Bar. Explore the wider valley by bicycle with a private guide or build up a sweat on the tennis and badminton courts. Practice mindfulness during a traditional tile-painting workshop or experience an unforgettable Wine and Dine river cruise with lead winemakers. For your final meal, make it memorable with an intimate candlelit dinner, set among the trees by the lazy riverside.

Restaurants & Dining

Celebrating the flavours of Portugal, Vale de Abraão at Six Senses Douro Valley serves up regional classics made with local produce from the valley and wider countryside. Experience farm-to-table dining with fresh, seasonal produce grown in the hotel's organic garden. Dine on the outside terrace or enjoy the chef's theatrics at the Open Kitchen, then wind down with a glass of vintage port served at the Wine Library.

Spa & Wellness

The luxury spa at Six Senses Douro Valley uses treatments infused with ingredients from the herb and plant garden. With panoramic windows beside the indoor pool, you can experience valley views and hydrotherapy jets. Connect to the picturesque surroundings with a Vinyasa or Yin class on the outdoor yoga deck. Grab a satisfying smoothie at the refreshment bar after a personal training session in the spa’s modern fitness room or a leisurely game of badminton or tennis. Designed with sustainability in mind, the spa beautifully blends responsibly sourced wood, stone and water with Portuguese tradition.

The Location

Set within 90-minutes of Oporto International Airport, Six Senses Douro Valley combines beautifully with the vibrant city energy and surf-ready coastlines of Porto. Witness the stark contrast between the landscapes and learn of the traditional wine barrel shipment from valley to city along the river by Rabelo.
