Couples Spa Day in Porto — Best Options

Last updated: February 19, 2026

By Porto Saunas Editorial Team

Porto has surprisingly good options for couples looking to share a spa day — from private hammam rituals to hotel spa circuits you can enjoy side by side. Unlike some European cities where the best spas are either singles-oriented or prohibitively expensive, Porto hits a sweet spot: real quality at reasonable prices, with most venues naturally suited to sharing.

Here are six venues that work particularly well for couples, from a €30 oceanside escape to a €75 private hammam.

The Oriental Spa — €75

The best couples spa experience in Porto, full stop. The Oriental Spa is the city's only dedicated hammam, and their couples sessions are the highlight. You and your partner lie side by side in a warm, candlelit steam room while two therapists perform the traditional hammam ritual simultaneously — black soap, kessa glove exfoliation, and a thorough rinse.

It's deeply intimate without being awkward. The therapists are skilled at making the experience feel private, even though you're in a shared space. The full ritual takes about 90 minutes, and you'll both come out with skin that feels genuinely different.

Located in Principe Real, you can pair it with lunch at one of the neighborhood's excellent restaurants — Flora & Fauna, A Cevicheria, or the rooftop at TOPO Chiado are all nearby.

  • Price: €75 per person
  • Location: Principe Real
  • Hours: 12:00–21:00 daily
  • Why couples love it: The dual hammam ritual is unlike anything else in Porto. It's a shared experience that actually feels shared.

Spa at Iberostar Porto — €40

The best value couples date in the city. For €40 per person, Spa at Iberostar Porto gives you a spa circuit with Turkish bath and pool, a 30-minute massage, a three-course dinner at the hotel restaurant, and free parking. That's an entire afternoon and evening planned — spa, massage, dinner — for less than the cost of a nice restaurant alone.

Arrive around 14:00, start with the spa circuit, move to your massages, then sit down for dinner. It flows naturally and takes the pressure off planning. The facilities themselves are solid without being extraordinary, but the complete package is what makes this exceptional for couples.

  • Price: €40 per person (includes massage + dinner)
  • Location: Marques de Pombal
  • Hours: 10:00–19:00 daily
  • Why couples love it: No other venue in Porto packages a full date — spa, massage, and dinner — at this price.

Sayanna Wellness & Spa — €50

If atmosphere matters to you, Sayanna is the hotel spa that makes both of you stop and stare. The Turkish bath features impeccable tilework that leads to a 14-metre indoor pool flanked by waterfalls. An ice fountain provides contrast therapy, and the sensory showers cycle through temperature and pressure.

Walking through Sayanna together is an experience in itself — every room is a different mood, and the design invites lingering. It's the most photogenic spa in Porto, though you'll need to leave your phone in the locker. Probably better that way.

Part of the EPIC SANA Marques de Pombal hotel, it's central and easy to reach. Book a weekday morning for the best chance of having the pool to yourselves.

  • Price: €50 per person
  • Location: Marques de Pombal
  • Hours: 07:30–21:00 daily
  • Why couples love it: The architecture and design create a sense of discovery as you move through the spaces together.

BSpa by Karin Herzog — €50

Combine wellness with Porto's best sightseeing district. BSpa sits in the Altis Belem Hotel, near the Jeronimos Monastery, the MAAT museum, and the legendary Pasteis de Belem bakery. The spa itself features a Turkish bath, dynamic indoor pool, and sensory showers — with views of the Tagus River that no other Porto spa can match.

The ideal couples day: arrive in Belem mid-morning, visit the monastery, share a box of warm custard tarts at the bakery, then spend the afternoon at BSpa. It's one of the best full days you can plan in Porto, and it works whether you're visiting for the first time or the tenth.

  • Price: €50 per person
  • Location: Belem (Waterfront)
  • Hours: 10:00–20:00 daily
  • Why couples love it: The combination of sightseeing and spa makes for a complete day out with zero planning stress.

Mandalay Spa Liberdade — €60

The premium choice for couples who want everything. Mandalay offers both a Finnish sauna and a Turkish bath — most hotel spas have one or the other — plus a jacuzzi and indoor pool. Robes and slippers are included, which adds a small but meaningful touch of luxury.

Located directly on Avenida da Liberdade, it's the most central premium spa in Porto. You can arrive on foot from most central hotels, spend a few hours at the spa, and walk out into Porto's grandest boulevard for dinner. The dual heat options mean you can try Finnish sauna and steam in the same visit — useful if one of you prefers dry heat and the other prefers humid.

  • Price: €60 per person
  • Location: Avenida da Liberdade
  • Hours: 10:00–20:00 daily
  • Why couples love it: Both Finnish and Turkish heat plus robes and slippers — the full hotel spa experience without compromise.

Real Spa at Grande Real Villa Italia — €30

Turn your spa day into a day trip. A 30-minute train ride from Cais do Sodre station brings you to Cascais and this spectacular 1,000 m² thalassotherapy spa overlooking the Atlantic. Real Spa offers a Finnish sauna, Turkish bath, and a full thalassotherapy circuit using heated seawater — all for €30 per person.

The train ride along the coast is scenic in itself, and Cascais is one of Portugal's most charming coastal towns. Wander the old town, eat seafood at the harbor, walk to the Boca do Inferno sea cliffs, then end the day at the spa. At €30 each, it's the most affordable couples option on this list — and arguably the most memorable setting.

  • Price: €30 per person
  • Location: Cascais (30 min by train from Porto)
  • Hours: 09:00–19:00 daily
  • Why couples love it: The oceanside setting and Cascais day trip make it feel like a mini holiday within your holiday.

Tips for Couples

Book together when you call. Mention that you're a couple at booking — some venues can arrange adjacent treatment times or ensure you start your circuit together. This is especially important at Iberostar for the massage and dinner coordination.

Go on a weekday morning. Every venue on this list is significantly quieter on weekday mornings. At places like Sayanna and BSpa, you'll often have the pool and sauna areas nearly to yourselves before noon.

Combine spa with a meal. The Iberostar includes dinner, but for the other venues, plan lunch or dinner nearby. Belem has the custard tarts and riverside seafood. Principe Real has some of Porto's best restaurants. Cascais has harbor-side dining. A spa day is better when it's part of a full day out.

Bring swimsuits. All Porto spas require them, and not all provide them. Some hotel spas provide robes (Mandalay does), but never swimsuits.

Budget pick: Real Spa in Cascais at €30 each. Splurge pick: The Oriental Spa hammam at €75 each. Best all-in-one date: Iberostar at €40 each with massage and dinner.
