Ultra-luxury tour operator Remote Lands has partnered with elite hotel brand Aman to provide a small-group private jet journey throughout North America and the Caribbean in 2023. Jenny Southan reports
Demonstrating that the trend Globetrender identified for ‘Private Jet-cations’ is taking off, from January 21, 2023, to February 4, 2023, Remote Lands will be taking a small group of clients on a tour of Aman hotels across the US, Bermuda, Turks and Caicos, and the Dominican Republic.
Lasting 14 nights, the “Adventures in the Americas” journey will take place aboard a specially chartered Global Express 6000 jet for 14 passengers. Along the way, guests will stay in five Aman properties – one in each destination.
The first stay will be two nights at the new Aman New York hotel, which opened this year, and visits in the city will include the Museum of Modern Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Central Park and the Empire State Building. There will also be a private helicopter tour.
The next stop will be Amanyara at Turks and Caicos, where guests will be able to go reef snorkelling, kiteboarding and sailing. There will also be a beachside cocktail party with a “well-known marine biologist”, as well as a kayak tour of the island rounds out the stay.
The final stop will be Amangani in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, where clients can go skiing, dog sledding, snowshoeing and hiking in Yellowstone National Park.
The trip will be hosted by Catherine Heald, CEO and co-founder of Remote Lands.
She says: “My favourite itineraries include lots of scenic and cultural diversity, which Adventures in the Americas has in abundance across five different countries.
“We visit tropical islands, snowcapped mountains, remote deserts, big cities, charming villages, UNESCO World Heritage sites and great natural wonders of the world aboard a gorgeous Global 6000 private jet.”
From Globetrender’s perspective, that’s a lot of money to pay to spend two weeks with people you might not like. Although it can’t be as bad as the Adventures by Disney Private Jet-cations that takes families to 12 Disney resorts around the world back-to-back.
