The world’s your oyster when you have an entire plane all to yourself. Traveling is smooth and seamless and the exclusive flight can get you to the most exclusive destinations in the world. So where to? We’ve rounded up ten of the best places to travel to via private jet.
St. Moritz Switzerland
Switzerland is home to several breathtaking alpine resorts, but St. Moritz stands out from the crowd due to its stunning scenery and peaceful atmosphere. This skiing paradise is flocked by the elite and royal crowd and it’s easy to see just why. The city offers many famous attractions: you can follow the trail to Heidi’s House for the ultimate childhood dream come true or take in the mountain vistas and quaint white houses from Lake St. Moritz.
While the alpine resort town can be visited without having to charter a private jet, it’s at least a 3-hour ride from Zurich, compared to flying directly to Samedan Airport, where the ride is just a fraction of the time, at 15 minutes! The airport’s short runway makes it inaccessible to commercial crafts, and even larger private jets get turned away when flying conditions aren’t too good. Flying in and out of this winter wonderland about 2000 meters above sea level will give you the view of a lifetime, making it one of the popular private jet destinations.

Paro, Kingdom of Bhutan
A luxurious hideaway hidden in plain sight in the mysterious Himalayas is the Kingdom of Bhutan. In its verdant valleys and snowcapped mountains lies Paro, the country’s only international airport and the seat of the central government.

Set high on the mountainside, the history and culture of Paro are evident in the ancient architecture shaped after temples and monasteries. The valley town can turn your ordinary holiday into a luxuriously vivid cultural trip into their history, religion, and delicacies. The most beautiful and widely-visited site in Paro is Kyuchu Lhakhang, a blue temple famed and flocked to for its beauty. It’s one of the oldest temples in the kingdom and unmissable for such reasons. The local monasteries are also known to be places of meditation where guests and visitors can attend a session with monks.
Easter Island, Chile
Seven hundred miles south of the Chilean mainland sits the remote Easter Island. It’s recognized as one of the most isolated places on Earth, yet a popular destination thanks to the massive Easter heads. The Moai, towering and mysterious, has long intrigued people for millennia regarding their history and purpose. Nearly a thousand of these heads line up on the island’s plains, and they’re carved from a single piece of solid stone.
However, there’s definitely more to the island than these ancient petroglyphs. Tourists can enjoy the spectacular sunrise while swimming over the 15 Moais in Ahu Tungariki, swim along the coastlines of Anakena Beach, or snorkel the clear and transparent Pacific waters surrounding the island. Come nightfall, stargazing is also phenomenal, and you can witness the galaxy’s glory coming into life in the cloudless skies of the island.

The town attracts an array of opulent folk year-round, especially ski enthusiasts and outdoor bums.
Telluride is cradled in the center of a box canyon, and steep peaks and waterfalls surround the town. This offers visitors a front-row seat to the most mesmerizing mountain views in the Rockies. And with a lifetime’s worth of outdoor activities, you’ll be spoiled with a choice: riding a free gondola, rafting or fly-fishing on the river of San Miguel, 12-block-long informative walking tours, or even cascading the waterfalls or scaling its mountaintops. You’ll never catch yourself bored in this picturesque town, making it one of the popular private jet destinations.
Ibiza, Spain
Sitting off the southern coast of Spain in the Mediterranean Sea lies the island of Ibiza. Known for its vibrant nightlife scene and beautiful beaches, the island is truly loved by many around the world. It’s Europe’s most popular party island, and celebrities, models, and wealthy socialites fly from all over the world for a taste of its night fun. But don’t let that put you off—Ibiza is also home to ancient shrines as well as the dramatic castle ramparts snaking around the fortified town of Dalt Vila. This and many other views and experiences await you in Ibiza.
The beaches and coves of Ibiza are unmatched in terms of quality and uniqueness. There are over 80 beaches ripe for exploration, and each is equally enthralling, from powdery white sands lined by pine forests to rocky, jagged cliffs lapped by turquoise seas below. More than just sea and fun, Ibiza’s culture includes a rich historical heritage and a culinary experience centering on fish and fresh food, all exploding in delicious flavors.
US Virgin Islands, Caribbean
The United States Virgin Islands are an archipelago of islands in the Caribbean to the east of Puerto Rico.

The natural splendor can be explored by hiking through the verdant mountains, kayaking around colorful coral reefs, or climbing steep volcanic cliffs.
On St. Thomas, you can hike up to the 1867-foot-high mountain known as Mt. Misery and experience panoramic views of the Caribbean Sea. In St John, you can find hidden caves and even swim in grottoes at Buck Island National Park. And in St. Croix, the historic sugar plantations will take you into the past.
