A swish Swiss journey
When you opt for a private jet to Switzerland, you're not just booking a flight; you're unlocking a magical gateway to the Swiss Alps. With tailored comfort, efficiency, and unrivalled views, you'll touch down in the land of chocolate, watches, and breathtaking mountain landscapes with a little extra ‘oomph’, transforming an already incredible trip into an extraordinary adventure. Geneva Airport is strategically located, offering convenient access to both the city and the surrounding Alpine resorts. It boasts a dedicated private jet terminal, facilitating swift and discreet arrivals, while its efficiency, excellent services, and proximity to luxury accommodations make it an ideal choice for those seeking a seamless and prestigious entry point to Switzerland, whether for business or leisure travel.
Such a stylish arrival warrants an equally opulent stay, provided courtesy of Badrutt’s Palace Hotel. Nestled in the heart of St. Moritz, the iconic hotel is famed for its rich history, its first-class service, and its selection of sought-after gourmet dining options – all of which ooze a certain old world glamour that seems perfectly at home amid the splendour of the Swiss Alps. Those in search of sophistication and refinement will find their desires catered for here, while those looking for a little 80s-kitsch can make their way to the King's Club: apparently the oldest nightclub in Switzerland!
Make an entrance in the Maldives
Embark on an enchanting escape to the Maldives, where the magic begins with a well-timed and executed private jet arrival, bypassing the usual airport shuffle and allowing you to start your holiday that little bit earlier.

This extraordinary journey ensures every moment is as memorable as the destination itself, offering a private jet-friendly experience that elevates your Maldivian retreat to new heights of luxury and exclusivity.
Transfer from Malé by seaplane and touch down at Four Seasons Private Island Maldives at Voavah, where seclusion and stunning scenery are the order of the day. With just three exquisite villas, bespoke dining options that afford a unique culinary experience at every meal, and access to the property’s 62-foot yacht, it represents the pinnacle of private island luxury.
