As the River Douro winds its way through the Unesco World Heritage-listed Douro Valley – one of the oldest wine-producing regions in the world – it passes by a Six Senses resort that wholly celebrates the abundance of its location.
Six Senses Douro Valley not only aims to be the ultimate regional wine experience – also creating stunning cuisine created from organic produce grown on its estate – it provides a spa and wellness destination that further draws from the health-giving benefits of its natural surroundings.
A former 19th-century manor house is at the heart of this 19-acre estate that now offers a 2,200sqm Six Senses Spa and the incredibly deep wealth of wellness knowledge that the internationally acclaimed operator offers its guests.
Faultless service, thoughtful details and little surprises along the way make a stay at Six Senses Douro Valley hugely rewarding and replenishing. From the mix of traditional and contemporary style in its accommodation to its sustainability focused organic cuisine and leading-edge spa facilities and wellness programmes, Six Senses Douro Valley is sure to help guests reconnect with themselves and with nature.
The Spa
Six Senses Spa
Vitality is truly at the heart of the spa at Six Senses Douro Valley, from its fully equipped Fitness Centre and Studio to the bracing cryotherapy facility.
As well as a Vitality pool and an indoor pool with underwater sound therapy, color therapy and massage jets, the spa boasts a Vitality Suite that includes a regular, infrared and herbal saunas, a steam room and a laconium.
Guests can make use of a welcome lounge and retail area, as well as a nail bar and the Alchemy Bar, which offers freshly mixed aromatic scrubs and masks. In addition to a consultation room there are ten treatment rooms where expert assessments precede a range of luxurious massage and facial rituals as well as acupuncture, tuina, moxibustion and Qi gong therapies.
Locally inspired treatments incorporate Douro grapes and citrus-based ingredients, while more in-depth programmes include Mind Your Brain for renewed purpose, Wellness Screening for lifestyle analysis, Sleep Upgrade to improve circadian rhythm, and non-invasive Skin Analysis.

To Stay
Recognised by Virtuoso on 2017 as the resort with the Best Achievement in Design, some 60 guest accommodations are sensitively curated to blend traditional styles with Six Senses’ unique sensibility.
A range of Quinta Deluxe, Superior and River rooms offer a variety of woodland and vineyard views, while the Vineyard Deluxe provides a large outdoor terrace, a fridge stocked with Douro wines and ‘a bed as big as a ship’.
The Quinta Suite has a spacious separate living area and a wooden floor; the Quinta Duplex Suite offers romantic split-level accommodation; and the fifth-floor Quinta Panorama Suite benefits from floor-to-ceiling windows that offer stunning views of the surrounding valley.
The views continue from the Vineyard Rooftop Suite, while the fifth-floor Vineyard Garden Suite puts guests right in the heart of their surroundings, complete with an outdoor hot tub and day bed.
To Eat
Dining at Six Senses Douro Valley is a self-proclaimed celebration of the produce that grows in its verdant valley location, with fresh ingredients harvested from an organic garden on the estate.
The Vale de Abraão Restaurant is an open-plan dining room and kitchen that spills out onto an outdoor terrace. Seasonal market-inspired tasting menus come to life in wood-fired ovens and a Josper grill, with chefs interacting with guests to create a fun and informal dining experience.
The Wine Library, located at the heart of the hotel, specialises in sharing plates and Portuguese home-cooking classics paired with the best regional wines.
The Quinta Bar and Lounge provides a perfect place to unwind and meet friends. Offering hand-crafted cocktails and classic Portuguese petiscos (snacks), in cooler months you can warm yourself by an open fire while enjoying afternoon tea and sampling the complimentary cake of the day.
When the weather is warm, the resort’s Summer Garden pop-up eatery delivers sumptuous meat, Atlantic fish and seasonal vegetables – often cooked on a barbecue – to be feasted on in the shade of heavy vines.
