About Six Senses Douro Valley

Six Senses Douro Valley has a historic manor house setting within a beautifully restored 19th-century wine estate. Located in Portugal’s UNESCO-listed Douro Valley, it's surrounded by terraced vineyards and spectacular River Douro views – a great base for exploring one of Europe’s most celebrated wine regions.

As with all Six Senses properties, there’s a showstopping spa with sleek interiors and a great line-up of facilities and treatments, including a thermal hydrotherapy circuit and indoor and outdoor pools. There are two more pools nestled among the landscaped grounds, plus four Jacuzzis.

The daily programme of workshops and activities ranges from cookery classes to tree climbing and creative ceramic painting, not to mention wine-based pursuits such as traditional grape stomping. And when you’ve worked up an appetite, you can tuck into fresh, regional flavours and sip on superb reds, whites and rosés from local vineyards.

Families are welcome at Six Senses Douro Valley. There’s no kids’ club, but activities and dining options are designed with younger guests in mind.

In true Six Senses style, the luxe spa delivers quality, pampering treatments in a calm, restorative environment. 

Interiors are designed with ecologically friendly materials like wood and stone, reinforcing the hotel’s connection to its natural surroundings.

Even dogs are catered for, with select spa treatments available for four-legged guests staying at the hotel.

The spa facilities include a heated indoor pool with a hydrotherapy circuit targeting the legs, lumbar and neck areas, alongside underwater LED chromotherapy and sound therapy. The circuit is completed by a cold plunge pool (five degrees) and a heated vitality pool (38 degrees), designed to support circulation and encourage deep relaxation. There are also 10 treatment rooms, an outdoor 25-metre lap pool, an aerial yoga studio and a state-of-the-art gym.

What’s on the menu?

Six Senses hotels are well known for their commitment to healthy cuisine, and dining at Douro Valley is no different, with vibrant menus that celebrate the region. Lots of the produce comes from the surrounding valley and countryside, and the resort has its own on-site organic garden of herbs and vegetables. Ingredients are harvested only as needed, so you can expect exceptional freshness and flavour.

The cuisine is rooted in Portuguese tradition, with a strong focus on meat and fish dishes, alongside a selection of vegetarian and vegan options. The wine list is extensive, showcasing the Douro Valley’s renowned vineyards, with non-alcoholic alternatives also available, including rosé and red wines.

Just a short drive away, Peso da Régua – often considered the gateway to the Douro – is a relaxed riverside town with a great little  wine museum. Around 25 minutes from the hotel, Lamego is a charming hilltop hub known for its baroque architecture, historic streets and far-reaching valley views

Porto Airport transfers take around 90 minutes. 

Travelling by train? Take a taxi from Porto Airport to the main Porto train station (around 20 minutes), then continue by train to Peso da Régua, a journey of around two hours with services running every couple of hours. From Peso da Régua, the hotel is around a 10-minute taxi ride.

WHEN TO GO

The best time to visit is from spring to autumn, when temperatures are pleasant and it's mainly sunny. Winter can be cold and rainy.
