Belmond, a visionary leader in luxury travel, releases a new brand film series, 'Discover A New Pace of Travel', narrated by Oscar-winning British actress Tilda Swinton, one of the most powerful voices in contemporary culture. The series is the cinematic embodiment of the quintessential spirit of slow luxury. It is an invitation to guests to discover the Belmond pace of travel – intentional and mindful – expressed through all of Belmond's properties around the world, from hotels and trains to river cruises and safaris. Launching from 23 January, the brand film will be accompanied by a further four thematic films dedicated to terroir, wellness, celebrations and epic journeys.
Belmond has long championed a form of travel that makes time valuable, creating space for stillness, for reflection, for awe. A pace that allows for deeper connections: with cultures, with people and with oneself. Each property cultivates the art of slow luxury, celebrating exceptional craftsmanship, local sourcing, curated exclusivity, genuine encounters and cultural richness.

Discover a new pace of travel.
The word moves fast. But you don't have to.
(Because it's not about the time it takes, but the care that is given.)
Six minutes for al dente perfection.
Sixty minutes to feel healed.
Six days to embrace the art of slowing down.
Many years to grow a garden that nourishes the soul.
At Belmond, time isn't spent, it's invested.
Immersed in ancestral and contemporary cultures,
in yesterday's traditions and tomorrow's rhythms,
Surrounded by friends old and new,
We choose to linger, to contemplate, to savour.
In every journey, on every plate and in every mindful movement,
we discover a new pace of travel.
