Six Senses Duoro Valley

The town of Porto and charming heritage villages are close by. Located in the beautiful UNESCO World Heritage-listed Douro Valley, Six Senses Douro Valley is touched with the romance of 19th-century architecture wedded to contemporary interiors reflecting the inimitable Six Senses style. With the River Douro winding its lazy way through the oldest wine-producing region globally, this serene setting is 77,67 miles (125 kilometers) from Oporto International Airport.

The resort’s estate covers 19 acres (8 hectares) with 57 guest accommodations, the Vale de Abraão restaurant with three different atmospheres: Open Kitchen, Terrace and Dining Room; a Wine Library featuring vintages from the valley and a stunning Six Senses Spa occupying 23,700 square feet (2,200 square meters).

Positioned as the ultimate Douro wine and spa experience, the resort assumes its own regional identity. The stunning historic manor house is both contemporary and sophisticated. It was originally converted to a hotel in 2007 and renovated to adopt technical and material innovations, then totally recreated, becoming Six Senses Douro Valley, together with faultless service based on thoughtful details and little surprises.

Contemporary décor with a nod to a bygone era – 60 guest accommodations including bedrooms with panoramic valley views, spacious suites with floor-to-ceiling windows, private balconies, and wooden bridges to secret gardens. All are sensitively refurbished to blend traditional highlights with Six Senses natural style. In 2017, the resort was recognized by Virtuoso as the resort with the Best Achievement in Design.

Dining – Showcasing the bounty of Douro Valley produce harvested from the good earth – Dining options at Six Senses Douro Valley are a celebration of the region, with much of the produce coming from the verdant valley and surrounding countryside. An organic garden of vegetables and herbs is located right on the estate. Fresh ingredients are harvested only as needed, assuring ultimate freshness and flavor.
