A Luxury Train Journey Through Malaysia & Indonesian Island Escape

Start your trip with a three day exploration of the city state of Singapore. This modern metropolis might be compact, but every inch is packed with things to see and do. In between tours, dine in the finest restaurants, go shopping in vibrant Little India and head over to the Marina Bay Sands Skybar for outstanding views across the city and some great cocktails too.

The epitome of locomotive luxury, the Belmond Eastern & Oriental Express winds its way gracefully through Southeast Asia in exquisite style and first-class comfort. You’ll be embarking on the three–night Essence of Malaysia route which meanders through the Malaysian jungle, offering on–board glamour and off–board adventure.

Take in dense greenery to Kuala Lumpur, the captivating waters around Langkawi Island, and fascinating spots such as Perlis Geopark and UNESCO–listed George Town.

Your luxury rail journey ends back in Singapore, where you’ll rest for the night before your onward travel in the morning. Take the chance to catch anything you missed during your first few days here, and reminisce on your travels so far over delicious food and drinks.

Just 75 minutes north of Singapore by seaplane, Bawah Reserve comprises six private islands within Indonesia’s Anambas Archipelago. Secluded and exclusive, these lushly forested islands sit at the heart of a 1,000 hectare marine conservation area. 

Spend the next few days lounging on castaway beaches, immersing yourself in the kaleidoscopic world beneath the aquamarine waves, and relaxing within the resort’s luxury amenities. There are four inclusive restaurants showcasing Indonesian and Mediterranean cuisine, a rejuvenating spa, daily movement classes, sailing, cooking workshops and snorkelling, to name but a few of the activities on offer here.
