INTRODUCING

LA-EVA X Six Senses Douro Valley

Set on a hill with stunning views of the terraced vineyards and the Douro River, Six Senses Douro Valley is a beautifully renovated 19th-century Manor House offering guests a unique blend of contemporary comfort and historical charm. Here the air, kissed by the sun, carries the sweet scent of ripe grapes and wild herbs, forest beds and water. Soft green hues and mellow golds.

Here, we created a bespoke range of products that features a personalised body of art by Meinke Flesseman, painted in situ.  The La-Eva x Six Senses Douro Valley range can be discovered in the property spa as well as in the rooms, and is part of our Portuguese Edition.

VĒRTE

Verte is Calming and clarifying, a verdant fragrance featuring vitalising coriander, woody cypress and earthy vetiver essential oils, inspired by rivers and forests. Fresh, uplifting coriander seed oil, revered for its healing properties since time immemorial, blends with the green hues of cypress oil, associated with transition and renewal. Amber, resinous vetiver, “the oil of tranquility”, grounds and soothes.

ŌRO

Oro is a full bodied blend of bright citrus, rosy geranium and herbaceous thyme. The sunny aroma and properties of orange essential oil spread a warm glow, dispelling listlessness and fatigue. Balancing geranium restores and enhances a sense of equilibrium, coming together with gently cleansing, antioxidant thyme to capture the essence of vineyards and orange groves.

About The artist

Meinke Flesseman

From the outset, we knew that our creative journey with Six Senses Douro Valley called for artistry that would capture the essence of this special landscape and property, where the sense are revered and surprise and delight are at the epicentre of the guest experience.

“I am particularly drawn to nature and a sense of purity. Hence the greenery, farm animals, beach scenes, and the general simplicity of everyday life that I'm able to observe. Connecting the present with the past and responding to the seasons, weather, mood, and meaningful places” - Meinke

We have worked with Meinke on many projects over the years. She has become part of our tribe, imbuing each project with her essence and transforming our offerings into amber glass canvases that elevate rituals of self care through the power of art.
