Privacy. Access. Timing. The New Standard in Summer Travel.
If you’re still planning your summer 2025 travels, now is the time to consider destinations that go far beyond the usual European hotspots or commercial airports. As travelers with high standards look for more control, more quiet, and more intentionality in how they move, private aviation is opening doors to places most never thought possible.
At Planet 9, we specialize in designing routes that go where others can’t. Here are seven destinations you may not have considered—all accessible via private jet, and all redefining what a meaningful summer journey can be.
1. Costalegre, Mexico
Where luxury meets untouched coastline
Tucked between Puerto Vallarta and Manzanillo, Costalegre is one of Mexico’s best-kept secrets. With eco-luxury resorts like Cuixmala and Careyes, it’s a destination built for privacy, seclusion, and quiet sophistication. Our jets access nearby private strips or Manzanillo Airport, allowing you to bypass the crowds entirely.
2. Lanai, Hawaii
Minimalism in the middle of the Pacific
Forget the tourist-packed beaches of Oahu or Maui. Lanai is Hawaii’s smallest inhabited island, offering volcanic landscapes, Mars-like scenery, and a level of discretion that few destinations match. Land directly at Lanai Airport and transfer within minutes to the Four Seasons or a fully private estate.
3. The Red Sea Project, Saudi Arabia
The frontier of ultra-luxury eco-tourism
The Ummahat Islands, part of Saudi Arabia’s Red Sea Project, are home to Ritz-Carlton’s new Nujuma Reserve: an overwater resort rivaling the Maldives in exclusivity. Flights via nearby regional airstrips bring you within reach of a destination designed for next-generation luxury, far from traditional commercial traffic.
4. South Caicos, Turks & Caicos
New luxury, minimal footprint
Salterra, launched in March 2025, combines low-impact architecture with beachfront elegance. This is the future of island travel: quiet, sustainable, and deeply personal. Our private flights to South Caicos let you avoid the congestion of Providenciales altogether.
5. Caye Chapel, Belize
Barefoot luxury with world-class access
Soon to be home to a Four Seasons private island resort, Caye Chapel offers elite travelers access to Belize’s reef system without the over-tourism of Ambergris Caye. Golf, dive, disconnect. Our jets can bring you straight into Belize City with direct heli-transfer to the island.
6. Calala Island, Nicaragua
Twelve guests. One island. Zero distractions.
For travelers seeking total seclusion, Calala is the definition of intimacy. This all-inclusive private island in the Caribbean hosts a maximum of 12 guests and is reachable via jet + short boat transfer. Ideal for family retreats or reset-focused sabbaticals.
7. Royal Belize, Belize
Privacy that cannot be booked by room
Only available as a full-island buyout, Royal Belize accommodates just one group at a time. With luxury villas and a dedicated team, it’s the ultimate in control and calm. Access via private flight and water transfer.
