After a long day exploring Porto’s cobbled streets, attractions and vast swathes of brilliant things to do, the first thing you’ll probably want to do when you get back to your hotel is submerge your aching body in a hot tub full of bubbles. From super luxurious suites with fireside hot tubs and all mod-cons to swimming pools boasting postcard-perfect vistas over this fascinating city, here’s our selection of Porto’s best hot tub hotels. You deserve some proper rest and recuperation, right? Of course you do. So take a look and get ready to sink into some serious comfort.
Nab a room with a balcony here, and you could very well find yourself chillaxing in a jacuzzi with a glass of bubbles in hand and the sun setting over Porto. Sounds pretty lush, huh? Location-wise, the Francos Metro Station is 0.6 miles away and Porto International Airport is 7.5 miles away, so pretty manageable.

Okay, this isn’t strictly a jacuzzi – but for the most luxurious lathering up you’ve ever had, book the palatial-looking room with the freestanding bathtub. Complete your visit with a trip to the ornate Café Majestic, just 750 yards from Palácio Fenizia.

This stunner of a hotel comes with Instagram worthy views over Porto (which can be enjoyed from the pool and jacuzzi by the way). If you prefer to unwind in private, book a suite with a spa package or inquire about the Bacchus suite with its very swanky fireside jacuzzi (pictured).

If canopy beds, private balconies and stunning views of the Minho landscape from the comfort of your bath sound right up your street (and in your price range) book the luxury tent, which is more boutique than bootcamp.

Just check out the views on this place. And when you’re done soaking up the lush valley from the pool, make your way to the spa, where water jets, massages and steam baths await. The hotel also has a private jetty... if you’re swish enough to have a boat that needs mooring.
