Octant Douro

Each Octant is a tribute to its location. They are places to find care, peace and freedom, without schedules. And also, rare emotion, deep knowledge, encounters and unique experiences that you will never forget. Here, on the banks of Castelo de Paiva, the landscape is designed with subtleties that recreate the terraces that have shaped the region for centuries. The topographical layout and architectural features of the building enhance the connection with the surrounding landscape and the escape from routine. The modernity of the rooms and suites or the interior spaces are combined with the river view and natural surroundings, in a communion that revitalizes body and soul. The landscape, where the carquejeiras abound, connects the banks where the history of the entire north is set, welcoming you on walks or boat trips to the romantic Ilha dos Amores, allowing you to visit the iconic Paiva Walkways — a UNESCO heritage site — or take a dip in the refreshing surrounding river beaches. With two unique restaurants, where the local cuisine and the curation of Douro wines is among the most complete in the country, you can savour the Douro like never before. At any time of the day or night, the panoramic outdoor pools invite you to take a dip when the heat arrives, and the heated pool or spa areas are all you need to leave the cold days outside behind. This is what being free is all about. It's having time for what matters, making it the stuff of good memories and returning to them over and over again.
