From St. Barts to Hawaii, these five-star resorts have their own private airports. Surely worth an enquiry?
Los Cabos, Hawaii, St. Barts, and Jamaica all have their share of five-star resorts and private airports. What better combination than a private jet and island hideaway for an idyllic travel experience?
Sentinel Aviation has developed partnerships with select luxury hotels to create bespoke private-flight experiences for anyone wanting to take a late-spring or early-summer getaway. Most are private charters for couples or families to the destination. One is even a float plane that drops guests off at the resort.
The benefits of this type of package include not having to coordinate all the logistics of the air trip and on-the-ground transport as well as avoiding commercial terminals. It’s the most seamless, secure way to travel.
Here are eight of our favourite warm-weather resorts.
