How to Plan a Luxury Private Jet Tour of Europe’s Most Exclusive Destinations

Luxury Private Jet Tours give you the freedom to see Europe’s most exclusive destinations in complete comfort and style. From the first take-off to the final landing, everything is shaped around you. Each leg of your trip becomes an experience, not just a transfer. At Awake & Wander Luxury Travel, we combine private jet access with tailor-made holiday design so your journey feels seamless, safe, and personal. You fly with confidence, thanks to our ATOL Licence, Protected Trust Services membership, and built-in Supplier Failure Insurance.

You decide where you want to go, how long you want to stay, and the pace that suits you best. This flexibility is the hallmark of private aviation. It also gives you more time to enjoy the places you love.

A private jet tour is more than a luxury; it is the most efficient way to link the finest corners of Europe.

Step 1 — Define Your Dream Route

Start by identifying your priorities. Do you want sun-drenched beaches, cultural capitals, or a blend of both? For many travellers, a mix of coast and city offers the best balance. Think Côte d’Azur, Amalfi Coast, or Mykonos for sea and sunshine. Pair these with Paris, Vienna, or Barcelona for art, music, and history.

Choosing the right route saves time and enhances enjoyment. Private jets can access smaller airports closer to your chosen destinations. This avoids long transfers and crowded terminals.

Keep your itinerary focused. Three to five destinations over two weeks works well. It gives you variety without feeling rushed.

Step 2 — Pick the Perfect Aircraft

The aircraft you select matters. It shapes comfort, flight time, and overall experience. For four to six passengers, a midsize jet such as a Citation XLS+ is often ideal. For larger groups or longer legs, a Challenger 350 or Gulfstream offers more space and range.

Cabin layout is also important. Some aircraft feature full reclining seats, dining tables, and entertainment systems. Ask about these options when planning.

Choosing the right jet is about more than size. It’s about matching your travel style to the aircraft’s design.

Step 3 — Select Exclusive Destinations

This is the exciting part. Each destination sets the tone for your tour. Below are a few of Europe’s most requested private jet spots.

French Riviera – St Tropez

St Tropez remains a classic for those who love glamour. Arrive at La Môle airport, just 20 minutes from the harbour. Spend days exploring private beaches, dining at Michelin-starred restaurants, and enjoying the nightlife. For your stay, consider Château de la Messardière. This hillside retreat blends panoramic views with refined interiors.

Ask us about the latest offers available for St Tropez hotels — we have access to exclusive rates that enhance your stay.

Amalfi Coast – Positano

Few places in Europe rival the drama of the Amalfi Coast. Flying privately, you can land at Naples or Salerno, both close to the cliff-side towns. From there, a private transfer brings you to Positano. The village is a cascade of pastel houses tumbling down towards the sea.

A stay at Le Sirenuse offers charm and elegance. Family-owned and filled with character, this boutique hotel combines intimacy with incredible views across the bay. Its poolside terrace and candlelit dining are ideal for a romantic escape.

Ask us about current offers for Positano and the Amalfi Coast. We often secure enhanced rates or extras that add value to your trip.

Barcelona

Barcelona delivers culture, style, and coastline in one city. Private jets land at El Prat or Girona, both offering discreet VIP facilities. The city blends Gaudí’s architecture, a thriving food scene, and Mediterranean beaches.

For your base, consider Hotel Arts Barcelona. This contemporary landmark offers spacious rooms, sea views, and an outdoor pool set among landscaped gardens. With direct access to the seafront and proximity to the Gothic Quarter, it balances luxury with convenience.

Ask us about the latest Barcelona hotel offers. Our partnerships allow us to provide tailored options that suit different styles of travel.

Mykonos

Mykonos is an island of contrasts. Quiet mornings on secluded beaches give way to lively evenings in stylish bars. Arriving by private jet, you avoid ferry transfers and start your holiday the moment you land.

Bill & Coo Suites and Lounge makes an excellent choice. Set above Megali Ammos beach, it combines modern design with authentic island hospitality. The infinity pool overlooks the Aegean, while its gourmet restaurant is a highlight of the island.

Ask us about Mykonos stays and packages. We have access to exclusive rates that pair with your private jet arrival for a seamless experience.

Lake Como

Lake Como embodies timeless Italian elegance. Private jets land at Milan Malpensa or Lugano, both within easy reach of the lake. A private transfer by car or boat completes the journey.

Stay at the iconic Villa d’Este, a Renaissance residence turned luxury hotel. With sprawling gardens, floating swimming pools, and lake-front dining, it offers both grandeur and intimacy.

Ask us about our offers for Lake Como. From added nights to dining credits, we can advise on the best ways to elevate your stay.

Ibiza

Ibiza is more than nightlife. It is also hidden coves, quiet fincas, and bohemian markets. Flying privately lets you land at Ibiza Airport, avoiding long waits in the busy summer season. You step straight into the island’s rhythm.

Six Senses Ibiza is a retreat on the peaceful northern tip. Designed with sustainability in mind, it offers sea-view suites, organic dining, and a world-class spa. Days here can be as lively or as relaxed as you want.

Ask us about our Ibiza hotel offers. We can advise on stays that fit your mood, whether you want total calm or access to the island’s legendary nightlife.

Sardinia – Costa Smeralda

Sardinia’s Costa Smeralda is a playground of turquoise waters, sandy bays, and discreet luxury. Private jets land at Olbia, close to Porto Cervo, where superyachts gather each summer.

Stay at Hotel Cala di Volpe, an icon of the Mediterranean. Its unique design reflects Sardinia’s traditions while offering refined service and a private beach. Dining at its renowned restaurants adds to the experience.

Ask us about exclusive Sardinia offers. From luxury packages to added extras, we can tailor your stay to perfection.

Paris

Paris never loses its allure. Arriving privately at Le Bourget, you avoid the bustle of Charles de Gaulle or Orly. From there, a short drive takes you into the heart of the city.

Consider Le Meurice, overlooking the Tuileries Garden. This palace hotel combines classic Parisian style with Michelin-starred dining and elegant suites. Every detail reflects refinement.

Ask us about Paris hotel stays. Our relationships with leading properties mean we can secure benefits that add value to your visit.

Vienna

Vienna offers a blend of imperial history and modern culture. Land at Vienna International Airport via private jet and head straight into a city of palaces, coffee houses, and concerts.

The Hotel Sacher Wien is a landmark. Famous for its original Sacher-Torte, it also offers sumptuous rooms and attentive service in the city centre. Staying here connects you to the very soul of Vienna.

Ask us about Vienna hotel packages. We can help pair your stay with concert tickets, private tours, or extended itineraries across Austria.

Step 4 — Plan Around Europe’s Elite Events

Luxury Private Jet Tours often centre on the calendar’s most exclusive gatherings. Timing your journey around key events adds energy and focus to your trip.

• Cannes Film Festival: Fly directly to Cannes or Nice and immerse yourself in the glamour. Even if you are not on the red carpet, the atmosphere alone is thrilling.
• Monaco Grand Prix: Arrive at Nice and transfer by helicopter to Monte Carlo. Few events combine sport and style so perfectly.
• Venice Biennale: For art lovers, Venice becomes a global stage. Private jet travel gives you flexibility to attend openings and private viewings.
• Wimbledon: Fly into London’s dedicated private jet terminals and enjoy the world’s most prestigious tennis championship.
• St Moritz Polo: A winter highlight where you arrive directly into Engadin and join the international set on snow-covered fields.

These events attract high demand. Private jet slots can be limited, so booking early is essential. Aligning your tour with them adds another layer of exclusivity.

Step 5 — Add Local Experiences That Elevate Your Tour

Luxury Private Jet Tours give you the freedom to enjoy more than just the flight and hotel. They open the door to extraordinary activities that shape the memories you take home. Think of them as the fine details that complete the bigger picture.

• Lake Como by Private BoatGlide across calm waters on a classic Riva launch. Stop at lakeside villages or enjoy lunch on the terrace of a historic villa. The lake takes on a different mood when explored at your own pace.
  
• Tuscan Wine Tasting in ChiantiTravel from Florence or Siena to rolling vineyards. Meet winemakers, taste rare vintages, and enjoy a farm-to-table meal. This adds flavour and authenticity to your Italian journey.

• Private Art Tour in ParisEnjoy after-hours access to a gallery with a private guide. See masterpieces without the crowds and learn stories usually hidden from public tours.
