Portugal in Ultimate Luxury

Arrive in Porto, where your private transfer delivers you to The Yeatman, an icon of Portuguese luxury overlooking the Douro River. Spend your first evening dining at the hotel’s Michelin-starred restaurant or exploring the riverside’s vibrant culinary scene.

Begin your discovery of Porto with a private guided tour, taking in the tiled grandeur of São Bento Station, the sweeping views from Serra do Pilar, and the charm of the Ribeira district. Later, step aboard a private Douro River cruise, gliding beneath the city’s bridges as lunch is served on deck, before an exclusive port tasting in Vila Nova de Gaia.

The following day, travel into the Douro Valley,an area blanketed with rolling hills and terraced vineyards. Stop en route for a private cooking experience at a countryside home – a hands-on lesson in authentic Portuguese flavours followed by a leisurely lunch. Continue to the Six Senses Douro Valley, your haven of understated luxury.

Spend a day immersed in the region’s wine heritage, meeting winemakers and sampling vintages at celebrated estates. Between tastings, pause for a long, scenic lunch overlooking the river. Return to Six Senses for an evening of relaxation – perhaps a spa ritual, a swim beneath the vines, or dinner at their farm-to-table restaurant.

Head east to the Alentejo, where open plains, ancient towns, and endless skies await. En route, stop in Évora, exploring its Roman temple, Gothic cathedral, and Moorish lanes before lunch and a wine tasting at a renowned vineyard. Continue to São Lourenço do Barrocal, a masterclass in rural luxury surrounded by olive groves and vineyards.

Spend your days however you wish – cycling through the estate’s trails, picnicking among cork oaks, or unwinding with organic spa treatments. Visit the on-site winery for a private tasting, or join the estate’s astronomer for a stargazing session at the private observatory.

On your final day, enjoy a last breakfast beneath the olive trees before your private transfer to Lisbon Airport.
