Wellness on Wheels

Words by Belmond Editors

A window spills light on to a Dior Spa treatment bed with Toile De Jouy covers, complementing a feature wall behind.

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.

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.
