Anchored to Belmond’s ‘Slow Luxury’ brand DNA, steeped in the value of time and mindful living; to discover a new pace of travel, "Long Shots" offers a taster of Belmond’s incomparable experiences.
"Long Shots" offers viewers an immersive experience, transporting them to Belmond’s enchanting locations starting with Portofino, Rio de Janeiro, Scotland, Sardinia, Amalfi and Burgundy. These films are best enjoyed on a large screen with the volume turned up, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the serene beauty of each destination.
In a world where social media video clips are becoming shorter and attention spans are dwindling, the so-called 'slow TV' phenomenon has emerged as an intriguing counterbalance.
Originating in Scandinavia back in 2009, 'slow TV' has since gained global popularity, with the New York Times describing it as 'soothing digital rooms.' These ambient films, whether depicting a crackling log fire or softly falling snow, have been linked to improved mental health and enhanced concentration.
