Six Senses Douro Valley

A wine and wellness experience in the Douro

Six Senses Douro Valley is a superb hotel and spa nestled in the heart of the Douro Valley, just a few kilometres from Lamego. The 8-hectare estate overlooks with elegance the long river that gives life to port wine. The 60 rooms, 5 suites and 2 villas are discreetly distributed between the historic manor house and the landscaped gardens amidst the vineyards. The Douro Valley is a splendour to discover by car from the city of Porto. Only around one hundred kilometres separate the historic port city from Six Senses Douro Valley. Once you arrive, you will be blown away by the avant-garde reception and the attentive, discreet service. You will discover your room, suite or villa with delight, as no detail has been overlooked, and even the smallest room offers a living space of at least 40m²! You will go from one delight to another: an ultra-modern 2,200m² spa, a designer library, a refined restaurant, a wine cellar, a panoramic lift, a shaded terrace overlooking the estate, and a sumptuous purple glass-paste swimming pool overlooking the Douro. All the ingredients for a restful and invigorating stay.
