Portugal: Six Senses Douro Valley adds event spaces
Six Senses will be introducing event spaces and new accommodation – seven suites and three guestrooms – to its property in Douro Valley Portugal.

The space in which the new meeting rooms are being created offers a vineyard view, and can accommodate groups from 20 to 70 people. Its walls will have ‘writable’ sections to enhance fun at interactive meetings, and all rooms will be equipped with the latest technology.

A dramatic feature is the indoor-outdoor adjoining room for pre-function or break-out sessions. With a massive open skylight and a full height living wall, the multi-functional space can transform from a quiet lounge into a meeting venue.

The new 10 rooms on the ground floor have generous outside areas with comfortable seating plus hot tubs in the bathrooms. Two of the current guestrooms on level six will have private wooden bridges leading to secret gardens with seating and hot tubs.

The additions will be ready by July 2019.
