Six Senses Douro Valley

The Six Senses Douro Valley is located in the heart of the Douro Valley, which has been designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is surrounded by a magnificent scenery that overlooks the Douro River. The Six Senses Douro Valley, the luxury spa company Six Senses' first European location, provides an aura of serene solitude on a bend in the Douro River. City life feels a world apart while surrounded by terraced vineyards, sun decks, and kitchen gardens. The hotel is located on a renovated family estate, and the interior is sleek and modern, with traditional elements such as stone flooring and woodwork fixtures, such as a tall, dark mahogany reception desk, adding period charm. The corridors are lined with black-and-white photos of the former owners' family life, and the 50 rooms have subtle décor in natural tones, with clean lines and a combination of materials.

The harmony of a 19th-century building's historic architecture and its interior design based on clean and modern lines created an environment of tranquillity. Beautiful views of terraced slopes covered with century-old vines overlooking the beautiful Douro River may be enjoyed from its balconies or huge panoramic windows. Finally, the emphasis here is on leisure, with a central indoor pool, sauna, water beds, and outdoor pool available to visitors. Guests may also enjoy a tour of the vegetable garden with the hotel chefs, who utilize the harvest to make seasonal delicacies served from the main dining room's open kitchen.
