Six Senses Douro Valley
Simply stunning. In 2015, Asia's super-luxurious Six Senses group chose a 19th-century manor overlooking the Douro for its first European resort. The result is a vast estate where landscape gardens blend into terraced vineyards; soothing Thai spa treatments can be followed up with tastings from the range of over 750 wines; and the panache of its blend of Portuguese heritage with contemporary design rivals the wizardry of its chefs crafting exquisite updates of regional cuisine. Save space for the pumpkin roll with creamy cheese and cinnamon ice-cream. The outdoor pools are set in 8 hectares (20 acres) of land. Huge rooms offers views over the river or vineyards. Twenty minutes drive north from downtown Lamego.
