Stalwarts know how to craft superlative experiences, and luckily, you can enjoy one on a moving platter. That platter happens to be none other than the Royal Scotsman, the Belmond Group’s supremely chic train that glides through the Scottish Highlands. Dior and Belmond have joined forces to unveil the Dior Spa Royal Scotsman: a mobile treatment cabin designed in the heart of the train.
Just when you think it couldn’t get better, the visionaries behind this collaboration chuckle and offer something truly irresistible, a four-day, three-night wellness retreat set for the end of June 2025. Led by Pilates expert Bryony Deery and renowned nutritionist Rose Ferguson, guests will indulge in top-notch treatments like the D-Travel Body Massage, the D-Highlands Facial, and the D-Elements Massage, which pays tribute to Scotland’s seasons in a sublime 60-minute ritual.
But the wellness offering goes well beyond the spa. The carriage itself features two lacquered treatment rooms adorned in Dior’s signature burgundy toile de Jouy motif, offering a familiar yet luxurious touch. The retreat also includes balanced snacks, wild water swims, and walks through the enchanting Rothiemurchus Forest, all designed to make you glow from within.
Rail travel is no longer about simply staring dreamily out the window. Experiences like this foster a deeper connection with nature, culture, and self. If you needed a reason to slow down in this fast-paced, ever-changing world, this is it. Guests will stay in a double cabin, with the package priced at €16,700 ($18,000). The fare includes a three-night itinerary, curated excursions, gourmet meals, and a selection of fine wines and alcoholic beverages served on board.
