Get back up into the trees of the surrounding enchanted forest and renew these precious memories with the team of tree climbing specialists. As no special skills are required this activity is perfect for everyone. Return to your inner child and enjoy the view.


FAMILY EXPERIENCES
The beautiful Douro Valley region has many activities that can be enjoyed as a family. For example, turn back the clock and share the youthful exuberance of tree climbing. The river also offers the opportunity for canoeing and water skiing, with boat trips being a highlight. Perhaps take a leisurely outing with the family on a cycling excursion or an even more leisurely picnic in the woods.

A very generously proportioned Six Senses Spa occupying 23,700 square feet (2,200 square meters) comprises 10 treatment rooms, a heated indoor pool with water jets and refreshment bar, plus a gym with the latest exercise equipment and professional guidance. It presents the Six Senses specialty treatments and multi-day programs. There is a range of locally-inspired therapies, which also include some grape and citrus fruit based.

With a décor of ecologically-friendly materials, the feeling is soft and hip; a meeting between nature, Portuguese tradition and the elements of water, nature, space, stone and wood. Such a welcoming space invites guests to interact with other guests.

From the moment of arrival there is a feeling of total relaxation; perhaps a little bit quirky but a promise of things to come. Venture further into the spa to the reception hub, with comfortable low seating for couples and individuals.

To one side is the Nail Bar which offers wine and cheese tastings during the treatment. Adjacent to this area is a consultation room and access to the 10 treatment rooms. The large well-equipped gym presents the feel of a private living room rather than an exercise area. Directly outside the changing rooms is the unique Alchemy Bar, where potions of herbs, salt, grapes and a range of exotic ingredients are individually blended for scrubs and masks. In this space there are also seven painting canvases hanging on the wall and marked for each day of the week. Guests can contribute to the day’s painting, which is set on an easel. The aim is to awake curiosity and creativity and be a part of a like-minded community who may never meet. Finished paintings are sold in the spa retail area with proceeds going to local charities.

An organic herb and plant garden provides key ingredients that are used in spa treatments. In addition to the external pool, a large outdoor yoga deck blends beautifully with nature and is ideal for individual sessions and group training.
