Enjoying The Yeatman outdoors

Much has been written about the infinity pool as it is listed in the top 12 in the world. It is shaped in the form of a decanter which is in keeping with the theme of the entire hotel. It overlooks the iconic panoramic view of the River Douro and city of Porto.

Not to worry if it’s not so nice outside, there is an indoor pool as well:

The staircase leading down to the spa rooms are designed as a wine barrel.

The spa offers treatments that are unique to the hotel. Vinotherapists are available to lavish treatments on you whilst you are surrounded by the calming environment of their spa.
