Octant Douro

A wineland wonder seemingly suspended above its famous namesake river, Octant Douro brings daring modern design to a Unesco-protected valley. The tiered hotel is designed to maximise river views and the pool is cantilevered above it for a floating feeling. The spectacular scenery, though, is the star, with huge floor-to-ceiling windows, glass walkways and wide terraces all created to showcase the views (book a Douro-facing room with a private deck: you can thank us later). And it’s a spa hotel, so ambling about in dressing gowns is actively encouraged… but be sure to scrub up for a superb supper in Raiva, mind. 

  

Octant Douro is on the banks of its namesake river, east of Porto in Portugal’s wine region and close to the town of Castelo de Paiva.
