The Eastern & Oriental Express, A Belmond Train, in Southeast Asia has announced a long-term partnership with the House of Dior to create the Dior Spa Eastern & Oriental Express.
The addition of a Dior Spa will offer guests a wellness space to unwind and rejuvenate from days of adventure in the lush mountainscapes and verdant jungles of Southeast Asia.
Following a temporary residency on the legendary Venice Simplon-Orient-Express, Belmond’s first permanent Dior Spa launched on the legendary Royal Scotsman, A Belmond Train, Scotland in April 2023, making the new Dior Spa Eastern & Oriental Express, Belmond’s third Dior Spa on the rails.
Offering a sanctuary of tranquillity for guests, the new Dior Spa Eastern & Oriental Express will be housed in one of the train’s 16 plush Art Deco-inspired carriages. The carriage will boast the House of Dior’s iconic cane work whilst taking inspiration from the beauty of Southeast Asia.
The carriage uses hand-crafted tropical wood materials designed to blend with the natural surroundings in which the train winds.
In homage to Christian Dior’s love for flowers, the new Dior Spa Eastern & Oriental will use rose emblems on the carriage carpets, in shades of green and beige. Guests will be taken into a dedicated reception area to discover the spa and its premium range of products before or after their treatment.
The calming space expands into two luxurious rooms, each designed with furniture which merges Dior’s elegance with inspiration from the location. Furniture adorned in the iconic Toile de Jouy print showcases the tiger, a nod to the Malaysian Sacred Tigers known to the region.
Bringing the savoir-faire of two leading luxury brands together, the Dior Spa Eastern & Oriental Express provides guests with the ultimate beauty experience to complement the serene and natural landscapes of Southeast Asia.
The new well-being menu will feature tailor-made treatments devised by the French Maison’s Wellness Experts. The bespoke approach caters to the specific needs of the train’s guests, ensuring a truly immersive experience that leaves them feeling refreshed and invigorated.
Signature treatment D-Jungle, an exclusive face and body treatment of Asian inspiration, will offer guests a perfectly rhythmic, deep muscle massage from head to toe, performed using stretching techniques and targeting specific energy points.
Signature treatments also include a relaxing Constellation massage designed to use a mix of massage techniques to relieve tension from the body. For the ultimate muscle relief, the DTissue massage uses deep, slow and soothing movements for those with a focus to release muscular pain. Drawing inspiration from the exquisite art of Asian beauty rituals, the luxurious facial treatments at the spa seamlessly blend traditional Asian techniques with the opulence of the Dior Prestige skincare line.
Guests can indulge in the Kobi-Dior Facial Treatment, a massage rooted in the ancient Japanese Kobido massage tradition, that rejuvenates the skin. This treatment expertly sculpts the face, leaving a radiant and youthful appearance. For those seeking evening relaxation, Le Soin de Minuit treatment offers guests an unparalleled experience.
This indulgent session incorporates meditative exercises to promote profound sleep and optimise skin regeneration, ensuring a luminous and revitalised complexion by the morning. To complement the experience, guests are invited to savour the moment with fine teas and nourishing delicacies.
