GREET THE DAY


Embrace the magic of dawn with Belmond’s growing collection of
specially-curated experiences.

Everything that makes our destinations enthralling is heightened at sunrise.
In the enchanting stillness, the sun’s first rays gently warm the landscape.
It’s a time of day we rarely get to savor in our frenetic lives.
Belmond extends an enticing invitation to make the most of the morning
with experiences in Southeast Asia, from a sunrise cruise on the Mekong
river to a peaceful sunrise walk around Shwedagon Pagoda.

fields, witnessing farmers start their daily routine working the
land among the pagodas in the morning, and growing crops
such as peanut, sesame and beans. Visit Bagan’s most
impressive pagoda, Sulamani or “Crowning Jewel”, boasting
some of the finest brick and ornamental work including
exquisite murals dating from the 12th to 18th centuries.
