Following the successful launch of the Dior Spa Royal Scotsman in 2023, Royal Scotsman, A Belmond Train, is introducing a unique experience with an exclusive wellness retreat. In collaboration with Dior, this retreat will take place from June 20 to 23, 2025, offering a transformational journey through the breathtaking landscapes of the Scottish Highlands.
A Journey of Relaxation and Rejuvenation
This retreat is designed to provide a holistic experience that connects the body, mind, and nature. During the four-day, three-night journey, guests will be guided by two Dior wellness experts, Bryony Deery and Rose Ferguson.
Bryony Deery, a Pilates and mindful movement expert, will lead sessions that emphasize balance and harmony, following the principles of wellness Pilates. Meanwhile, Rose Ferguson, a functional nutrition and naturopathy specialist, will introduce a mindful nutrition approach with menus carefully curated in collaboration with Royal Scotsman’s Head Chef, Mark Tamburrini.
Exclusive Onboard and Offboard Activities
Guests will enjoy a range of unique experiences both onboard and offboard the train. Onboard, they can participate in breathwork sessions, indulge in luxurious spa treatments at the Dior Spa Royal Scotsman, and savor nutritionally balanced afternoon teas.
Offboard activities include wild swimming, forest bathing in Rothiemurchus Forest, private hiking excursions, yoga, and scenic boat rides to observe wild seals in their natural habitat. Each experience is designed to help guests reconnect with nature and find inner peace.
A Luxurious Experience with a Personal Touch
According to Nicola Herbert, Global Director of Wellness and Guest Experience at Belmond, this retreat represents a new chapter in redefining luxury rail travel. By integrating wellness experiences into their journeys, Royal Scotsman aims to offer an enriching experience that connects culture, nature, and well-being.
