The Best Hotels and Resorts in the World: The Gold List 2026 | Condé Nast Traveler

"The selling point of Six Senses Douro Valley in Portugal, the first European location from the famed luxury wellness brand, is the multiple entry points it affords a traveler. Lean into the location, and by that I mean the wine, and enjoy tours of the vineyards, as well as a personal favorite—the help-yourself wine fridge located on the main floor. Relax in the resort, and enjoy walking through the nine acres of forest, containing more than 500 species (of which 450 are native). Or go full wellness with dedicated multiday programs that focus on female health and more with the property’s incredible personal trainers, hydro areas, and exquisite health menus. Though the beauty of the place is that it knows how to feasibly be all things at once, should that be more your speed. From $1,155. —Erin Florio" - CNT Editors
