Wellness on Wheels
Belmond trains are synonymous with slow travel and timeless luxury, whether you’re enjoying fine-dining from Michelin-starred chefs, gazing out at majestic landscapes, or enjoying a late-night cocktail or two set to the sounds of a live band.
Decadence is a key part of the journey, but so is unplugging from the cares of the world. And what better way to truly relax than in one of our spa carriages, where guests can enjoy a range of world class beauty and wellness treatments, while being lulled by the gentle rhythm of the rails.
Dior Spa Eastern & Oriental Express
Onboard the Eastern & Oriental Express, a unique story unfolds – one of beauty and tranquillity. Introducing a space dedicated to rejuvenation and relaxation, the Dior Spa Eastern & Oriental Express offers a series of rituals, from the Constellation massage to the Kobi-Dior Facial. Our special mention goes to the Soin de Minuit, a meditation-meets-facial therapy that will slow down your heart rate. Book it before returning to your private cabin for a peaceful night of dreams under the stars of Malaysia.
Dior Spa Royal Scotsman
The Maison Dior captures the unique essence of each space it occupies, and the Royal Scotsman is no exception. As the train glides through the Highlands, Caledonian folklore runs along your unique journey. A typical day onboard involves exploring Scotland’s rugged beauty before heading to the Dior Spa Royal Scotsman, where the D-Elements Body Massage (with a final touch of the Bain Dior’s mist) is the ultimate key to relaxation.
Andean Explorer Spa Car
Winding through breathtaking plains, the Andean Explorer offers a unique vantage point to discover Peru – taking you up to 15,000 feet. Among carriages, discover the Picaflor Spa Car, where indulgence awaits. Named after the Spanish word for ‘hummingbird’, this intimate spa on rails offers unique beauty treatments like the Altitude Acclimatizing massage or the Leg Revival therapy to ease your tranquil journey through the Andes – and ultimately, take you to cloud nine.
