Six Senses Douro Valley, Portugal

This beautifully renovated and reimagined 19th-century manor house is set high on a hill overlooking the vine-covered countryside of the Douro Valley and the river below. From the dreamily-designed and furnished rooms and suites to the expansive spa, fine and wholesome wining and dining, organic gardens and nature trails, the Six Senses hotel in Douro Valley is where well-being meets pure joy.

Portuguese tradition meets the elements of water, stone and wood in a great setting for rural relaxation. The spa uses smart technology to measure the guest’s inner health, movement and sleep patterns to ensure that their wellness experts can then personalize the treatments, activities and nutritional advice based on their specific needs. Guests achieve a healthy, balanced body and mind while at the property and then sustain it once they return home.

Surrender to the healing hands of the spa’s skilled therapists through specialty treatments and individual journeys that ensure the guest’s senses are balanced and mind is blissful. Only natural and ethically-produced products together with traditional and locally-inspired practices are used to treat guests from the inside out and outside in.

The panorama of mountains and sea, the traditions of shepherds and fisherman, the bounty of bread and wine, and the history of castles and villages – these are the qualities of life that make Six Senses Douro Valley Hotel, Spa and Resort your destination of choice.
