AL ANDALUS LUXURY TRAIN

 

The Al Ándalus Luxury Tourist Train is widely regarded as one of the most prestigious luxury trains in the world. This five-star rail journey offers an unforgettable 7-day, 6-night voyage through the heart of Andalusia, combining refined elegance, exceptional service, and immersive cultural discovery.

Originally inaugurated in 1983 as the Al Ándalus Express, the train once travelled between Calais and the French Riviera, welcoming members of the British aristocracy and European high society. Today, its beautifully restored carriages have been transformed into an exclusive luxury experience, where the timeless glamour of the Belle Époque meets the finest comforts of the 21st century.

Travelling aboard Al Ándalus is not simply a journey—it is a celebration of slow luxury, history, and Andalusia’s rich heritage.
