Reviews for Six Senses Douro Valley
Heaven on Earth.
They nail it, in every way! The setting is sheer bliss, the service is impeccable, the food is superb and the spa is sublime. When you want to relax and detox, there is no better place.

Stay on property at the amazing place!!
We loved six senses. Our son (19) said he wants to honeymoon here. We had many activities planned prior to arrival and cancelled many of them to just enjoy the hotel. We stayed in a villa. Beautiful. Wine tasting was outstanding. Ground are beautiful. It’s a truly must visit top notch place.

5/5!
Honestly, 5/5. We had an amazing 2-nights stay at Six Senses Douro in July with our 1-year old. The staff were with incredible with him. Amenities and property also incredible. Massage in the spa and their gym (indoor and outdoor) were great. We just wish we could have stayed longer.

Wonderful resort and location but overpriced
The resort is located in a breathtaking location in the Douro Valley. It looks as breathtaking as in the marketing pictures. A lovely staff and gorgeous surroundings. The food is amazing and the breakfast buffet is out of this world. The pool area was gorgeous. The only issue we noticed the slipperiness of the stairs going in and out of the pool. Several guests fell and it could have turned out badly. The room (416) had a gorgeous view down the valley, but the furnishings were just ok. Considering the price tag, one would have expected nicer furniture and a better room layout. It was quite poorly designed. The bathroom shower had mold in it. The robes were tiny and didn't even fit me (5 foot 6; 126 pounds). Not trying to be a stickler, but considering the heft price tag, it wasn't at the level we expected. The Alchemy class was fantastic and the staff in general was super helpful and knowledgeable.

It’s all about People! Thanks Simão Freitas!
Our stay was truly elevated by the incredible dedication and warmth of Simão Freitas. From the moment we met him, he made us feel completely at home — always greeting us with genuine kindness and a smile. It’s rare to find someone who combines skill, passion, and such a personal touch — but Simão does exactly that. Thanks to him, our experience was not only enjoyable, but truly memorable. Highly recommend seeking out any activity he leads — you won’t regret it!
