Let's Belmond Together

Article by

A collection filled with one-of-a-kind experiences

For over 40 years, Belmond has followed their pioneering spirit and passion for authenticity to create and uncover some of the world’s greatest travel adventures. Belmond is the glamour of Rio’s Copacabana Palace and champagne in the art deco carriages of the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express train. It is dawn beside the temples of Cambodia’s Angkor Wat and sunset over Botswana’s Okavango Delta. It is an evening of authentic regional dining, followed by a dramatic rail journey to the gateway of Machu Picchu.

Today, their collection includes one-of-a-kind hotels, trains, river cruises and safari lodges in stunning destinations across the globe. Each has an incredible story to tell. To book one of these experiences, simply click contact us —or follow the links to get even further inspired.

Global Travel Moments invites you to Belond Together

THE SUITE LIFE

Go all out on luxury with Belmond’s signature suites and villas. Discover expansive spaces, exquisite decors, original artworks, indulgent features and incomparable services in some of the most sought-after destinations.

Wake up to the sound of Portofino’s buzzing piazzetta in the grand Ava Gardner Suite at the Splendido Mare, A Belmond Hotel. It is truly the height of indulgence in the Italian Riviera. Savour decadent 18th-century charm at the Cipriani, A Belmond Hotel, with a stay in the Dogaressa Suite. Enjoy breakfast with views of St. Mark’s Square and Dodge’s Palace.

Hop on the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express for a unique journey in Europe and delve into the details of one of their Grand Suites. Interiors inspired by Paris, Venice, Istanbul, Vienna, Prague, and Budapest embody art deco indulgence while providing every modern comfort.

Discover the vision of British designer Matthew Williamson at La Residencia. The Designer Suite is the most captivating hideaway in Mallorca. Be swept up in vibrant colours, botanical imagery and luxe textures, contrasting decadent rustic features.

Or step into sheer privacy and exclusivity at the beautiful pool villas at La Samanna in St. Martin. With 3 to 4 bedrooms, panoramic terraces, fully-equipped kitchens, private infinity pools and 24-hour host service, these villas are the ideal destination for family or friends’ reunions.

SAVOURING LIFE IN SICILY

Set in the heart of Taormina, Grand Hotel Timeo serves up views that have enchanted for more than a century. The first hotel to be built in the city gazes out across the coast towards Mount Etna and beyond.

Bask in manicured gardens, savour sensational cuisine, and fuel your imagination with cocktails on the Literary Terrace—just like generations of celebrated guests before you.

Or stay at Villa Sant’Andrea with its balconies of jewel-like geraniums and subtropical gardens bordering an exclusive Sicilian beach. This Belmond Hotel in Taormina Mare feels like a beautiful private home.

You can relax in the heated infinity pool, wellness centre and stylish beach cabanas. At the acclaimed restaurant, freshly caught fish and decadent desserts are enhanced by shimmering sea views.

Note that both of these exquisite hotels are part of Belmond’s Grand Tour of Italy.

RUNNING WILD IN SOUTHERN AFRICA

Belmond’s escapes in Southern Africa embrace Cape Town’s legendary Mount Nelson hotel and three thrillingly different safari experiences in Northern Botswana.

Eagle Island Lodge is in the heart of the Okavango Delta. Savute Elephant Lodge sits beside the mysterious Savute Channel. Khwai River Lodge overlooks the Moremi Reserve floodplains. Together they enchant even the most seasoned safari traveller.

THE LONDON EDIT

Belmond’s experiences in London can be enjoyed individually or in glorious tandem. The Cadogan is a storied retreat in the heart of vibrant Chelsea. It blends a rich heritage with contemporary, understated indulgence. Guests enjoy exclusive access to Cadogan Place Gardens, a curated art collection and the city’s freshest culinary high note.

An easy ride away is London Victoria station, departure point for British Pullman, a Belmond Train. This sumptuous Art Deco train offers exciting day adventures and gastronomic events around Britain. In late 2021, Belmond unveiled the new Cygnus carriage entirely redesigned by the acclaimed filmmaker Wes Anderson.
