Sustainable Initiatives

Donkey center

Six Senses Douro Valley is a sponsor of the APEGA, Associação para o Estudo e Proteção do Gado Asinino, an environmental NGO based in Miranda do Douro, where this breed is being protected from extinction. In addition to three centers in Miranda do Douro, APEGA teams travel all over the country to support other donkey projects. In 2021, 800 donkeys had a health check-up and three newborn have been welcomed. 11 older donkeys were also rescued and joined the center.

Community Forest

Six Senses Douro Valley takes a great pride and pleasure in nursing this parkland back to health and making it a home for soil fertility, fungi, insects and birds. This year, and together with Associação Bioliving, the resort has started an inventory of fauna and flora, enabling the hotel to make even better decisions to preserve this important ecosystem. By adopting a 1,640-foot (500-meter) stretch of the river bank Six Senses become its guardians with the commitment to monitor and create suitable conditions for the existing fauna and flora. Many producers are changing the way they farm, converting to organic methods to use less chemicals and grow in harmony with the environment. Several local producers have introduced their organic food and wine to Six Senses.

Culture and Conservation

Being a UNESCO World Heritage Site means all of the region’s stakeholders have a strict obligation to its 3,500 botanical species. Six Senses Douro Valley is continuing to protect and regenerate a 10-acre (4-hectare) woodland on the property, highlighting its commitment to sustain the environment and beautiful old growth trees. Resort's entire team is committed to reducing any negative impacts, and fostering positive outcomes. Guests are invited to visit Earth Lab to learn more about the projects supported by Sustainability Fund.
