From Yacht Cruises to Vineyard Retreats

In the world of high-end travel, Portugal is emerging as a destination that offers far more than just beautiful landscapes and historic charm. With its sophisticated wine culture, glamorous river cruises, and world-class hospitality, Portugal has become a haven for those seeking signature travel experiences that strike a balance between refinement, authenticity, and exclusivity.

Six Senses Douro Valley Hotel

Whether you dream of gliding down the Douro River aboard a private yacht, sipping vintage Port at sunset, or immersing yourself in the serene luxury of a vineyard retreat in the Douro Valley, Portugal delivers unforgettable moments crafted for the most discerning travelers.

Here’s a closer look at three curated journeys that define luxury travel in Portugal, each one a unique celebration of elegance, wine, and well-being.

6-Day Luxury Yacht Cruise on the Douro River

Step into a world of effortless sophistication on this 6-day private yacht cruise through the Douro Valley, designed for travelers who crave exclusivity, beauty, and luxury. Inspired by the allure of the French Riviera and the elegance of Italian design, this journey offers a fresh perspective on Portugal’s most celebrated wine region.

6 Day Luxury Yacht Cruise Douro

Begin your adventure in vibrant Porto, where cobbled streets meet cosmopolitan flair. Then board your Italian-designed yacht and set sail through UNESCO-listed landscapes, past terraced vineyards and sun-drenched hillsides. This is where the magic begins.

Your private yacht is at your full disposal throughout the entire experience, allowing you to explore the river at your own pace, with tailor-made service and total comfort.

What to expect: 

  • Exclusive use of a private yacht for six days;
  • Overnight stays at Vinha Boutique Hotel and Six Senses Douro Valley;
  • Michelin-starred dining and curated wine pairings;
  • Insider access to iconic Port wine cellars;
  • Restorative spa treatments and riverside wellness rituals;
  • Daily panoramic cruises through the heart of the Douro Valley.

This is more than a luxury tour; it's a celebration of slow living, where every moment invites you to relax, reconnect, and savor life’s rarest pleasures.

3-Day Luxury Douro Retreat

For a shorter but no less dazzling experience, this 3-day luxury yacht escape delivers the essence of the Côte d’Azur lifestyle, champagne on deck, sunset cruising, and fine dining, all set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Douro Valley. Ideal for couples, solo travelers, or small groups, this experience is a deep dive into the essence of the valley, designed with seamless comfort and curated elegance in mind.

 

3 Day Luxury Douro Retreat Marma

This is the Riviera Italiana in Portugal: cinematic landscapes, a touch of haute couture, and the elite spirit of Saint-Tropez, Cannes, and Monaco. Imagine a weekend of luxurious cruising, riverside glamour, and exquisite service, where every detail evokes a world of discreet ostentation and timeless style.

What to expect:

This retreat invites you to unwind in style and immerse yourself in the peaceful rhythms of the Douro, where every detail is carefully designed for your comfort and delight.
