8 Douro Valley Hotels With Vineyards, Infinity Pools and Serious Wine 🍷
Portugal’s Douro Valley deserves far more than a day trip from Porto. Following the Douro River through steep terraced vineyards, this UNESCO World Heritage landscape is home to centuries-old wine estates, tiny vineyard retreats and some seriously impressive luxury hotels.
Stay in a historic quinta where wine is still produced on the estate, wake up to the river from a vineyard suite, spend the afternoon beside an infinity pool or check into a spa where vinotherapy comes with the territory. And then there’s the wine: cellar tastings, vineyard walks, harvest experiences and long dinners paired with bottles produced just metres away.
We’ve rounded up 8 of the best hotels in the Douro Valley, from Six Senses and contemporary riverside retreats to intimate winery hotels with just 11 rooms and one of the region’s most exciting Michelin-starred dining experiences.
Perfect for a long weekend from Porto, a wine-focused road trip or a few slow days of vineyards, spa treatments, infinity pools and very good Douro reds.
