PRACTICAL INFO

Location

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. Golden by name – Douro – the sun-kissed valley is also golden by nature, with amber hued vine-filled terraces and the River Douro winding its lazy way to the Atlantic Coast and passing though the oldest wine-producing region in the world. With the River Douro winding its lazy way through the oldest wine-producing region in the world, this serene setting is 88 miles (142 kilometers) from Porto International Airport.

Accommodation

Six Senses Douro Valley has 57 guest accommodations, which range from Quinta Superior, Quinta Deluxe and Quinta River rooms, to spacious suites and villas with one, two and three bedrooms. Completely renovated, the décor is a triumph of combining Six Senses natural style with traditional highlights from a past era. Views over the vineyards are sights to be enjoyed from bedroom terraces or from the numerous panoramic windows.

Services

A very generously proportioned Six Senses Spa comprises 10 treatment rooms, a heated indoor pool with water jets, a heated outdoor pool and refreshment bar, plus a gym with the latest exercise equipment and professional guidance. It provides the Six Senses specialty treatments and multi-day programs. There is a range of locally-inspired therapies, which also include some which are grape and wine based. The heart of the resort is the Wine Library & Terrace, a pre-dining rendez-vous with a tempting selection of local tapas items and self-service wine tasting ideal for learning, imbibing and celebrating.
