Nestled in the stunning Douro Valley, this chic 19th-century manor blends luxury with wellness, offering river views, an exquisite spa, and gourmet dining.
"Located in Portugal, the Douro Valley is a wine-growing region with sumptuous landscapes thanks to its terraced vineyards." - The MICHELIN Guide
"The Six Senses was voted one of the best resorts in Portugal and Spain by T+L readers in the 2023 World's Best Awards. The 19th-century manor-turned-hotel sits amid terraced vineyards and offers spacious suites, spa treatments, organic gardens, locally sourced meals, and wine tastings." - Travel + Leisure Editors
"Wellness and wine may not seem like a natural fit—at least not if you go by the ascetic, alcohol-free programs of other health-focused retreats. But at this hotel, set amid the rolling vineyards of Portugal’s Douro Valley, they go together perfectly. Spend your days in the sunshine, luxuriating by the outdoor pool (or the indoor one, if the weather doesn’t cooperate), followed by an antioxidant grape facial or a deep tissue massage in one of its spa’s 10 treatment rooms; or sign up for one of the dozens of experiences on offer, including a jaunt to the local villages (via Tesla), where you can see the recently restored 12th-century Cistercian monasteries of S. João de Tarouca and Salzedas, followed by a tour of Quinta Viscondes da Várzea, an 18th-century manor house, and take a cooking class in its old school kitchen. There’s plenty to get you all the way outdoors, too, including helicopter tours, kayaking on the namesake river, and even good old-fashioned tree climbing, complete with climbing gear. And of course, there are ample opportunities to sample the local vino, both on property and off: for the former, book a session in the hotel’s wine library, where you can learn the basics of wine making and try a few yourself; for the latter, take a coordinated visit to some of the area’s boutique wineries, and try something new together." - CNT Editors, Betsy Blumenthal
