Belmond Hotels & Rail: Slow Luxury in the World’s Most Beautiful Places.

 

Belmond combines iconic hotels and legendary rail journeys with timeless luxury, exceptional service and a true sense of place.

 
 
 

Discover the Timeless World of Belmond.


While the legendary Venice Simplon-Orient-Express helped establish Belmond’s reputation for timeless glamour, many travellers are surprised to discover the remarkable collection of hotels and resorts that now sit at the heart of the brand. Many of the world’s most iconic hotels are part of the Belmond collection, often recognised long before guests realise they share the same heritage of understated luxury, exceptional service and strong sense of place.

From the legendary Copacabana Palace in Rio de Janeiro, which has welcomed royalty, film stars and musicians for decades, to the glamour of Hotel Cipriani in Venice during the Venice Film Festival, Belmond properties are deeply woven into the culture and history of their destinations. Guests can experience the pink elegance of Mount Nelson in Cape Town, the dramatic setting of Hotel das Cataratas beside Iguassu Falls, the Tuscan beauty of Castello di Casole or the peaceful beaches of Cap Juluca in Anguilla.

While rail journeys such as the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express, Royal Scotsman and British Pullman remain an important part of Belmond’s story, the hotels themselves have become destinations in their own right — offering experiences that feel authentic, timeless and deeply connected to their surroundings rather than simply luxurious for the sake of it.

 
 

Belmond in Bali: A More Peaceful Side of Luxury


Why Bali Continues to Captivate Travellers

Bali has long attracted travellers seeking more than simply a beach holiday. Beyond its beautiful coastline lies an island rich in spirituality, artistry and culture, where daily life is shaped by tradition, ceremony and a deep sense of connection. From temple offerings and tropical landscapes to warm hospitality and slower rhythms of life, Bali offers a feeling that stays with people long after they return home.

The Wellbeing Travel Perspective

At Wellbeing Travel, we believe luxury travel should feel restorative as well as beautiful. Increasingly, travellers are seeking experiences that allow them to slow down, reconnect and step away from busy everyday life rather than simply ticking destinations off a list. Hotels such as Jimbaran Puri perfectly reflect this shift towards calmer, more meaningful travel, where atmosphere, authenticity and genuine wellbeing become just as important as luxury itself.

Who Jimbaran Puri Is Perfect For

Jimbaran Puri is particularly well suited to couples, honeymooners, anniversaries and babymoons looking for a more peaceful and intimate side of Bali. It also appeals to travellers who value understated luxury, authentic experiences and relaxed beachfront surroundings rather than larger, busier resort environments.

A Personal Thought

What makes Jimbaran Puri so special is the sense of calm it creates from the moment you arrive. It feels quietly luxurious rather than over-designed, allowing guests to experience a more authentic and elegant side of Bali whilst still enjoying the exceptional service and attention to detail for which Belmond is known worldwide.

If you are looking to experience Bali in a more relaxed, meaningful and beautifully understated way, Jimbaran Puri offers a truly timeless escape.

 
 
 

Perfect Bali Jimbaran Puri.

In Bali, Belmond takes a quieter and more intimate approach to luxury through Jimbaran Puri, a peaceful beachfront retreat set along the golden sands of Jimbaran Bay. Far removed from Bali’s larger resort scene, the hotel embraces traditional Balinese design, tropical gardens and a slower pace that encourages guests to truly unwind.

Guests can stay in elegant cottages and private pool villas, enjoy beachfront dining with spectacular sunsets and experience the warmth and authenticity for which Balinese hospitality is known. Its location also allows easy access to temples, local markets, surfing beaches and cultural experiences across southern Bali.
