Planning a honeymoon is a chance for newlyweds to create a truly unforgettable beginning to married life. In recent years, more couples have been rethinking the traditional long-haul route and turning instead to private jet travel to elevate their experience from the very first step.
At Villiers Jets, we’ve seen a steady increase in couples choosing to fly privately for their honeymoon, not just for the luxury, but for the time-saving flexibility, privacy, and access it offers to some of the world’s most exclusive destinations.
Why Private Jet Travel Makes Sense for Honeymoons
Flying by private jet offers some clear practical benefits for honeymooners. First and foremost, it removes the typical stress of commercial travel, long queues, busy terminals, delayed flights, and last-minute gate changes. When you’re travelling to celebrate your marriage, the last thing you want is a disrupted start.
With Villiers Jets, couples depart from private terminals (FBOs), where they can arrive just minutes before take-off, enjoy a quiet, comfortable pre-flight space, and board directly without crowds. This creates a calm, seamless transition from ceremony to celebration, especially for those heading out just a day or two after their wedding.
Another key advantage is access. Some of the best honeymoon destinations in the world are not easily reached by commercial flight. Remote islands, vineyard estates, or mountain lodges often require multiple connections and hours of ground transfer. Private aviation reduces this time significantly, with direct access to thousands of regional and private airports worldwide.
Where Couples Are Flying: Popular Honeymoon Destinations by Private Jet
Our data shows that many honeymoon clients are seeking destinations that combine privacy, natural beauty, and luxury accommodation, but without the hassle of long commercial itineraries.
Some of the most-requested spots include:
The Maldives – with its overwater villas and ultra-private resorts, the Maldives remains one of the most iconic choices. Private jets can fly directly into Malé International, with onward sea plane transfers coordinated on arrival.
Greek Islands – places like Santorini and Paros are ideal for spring and autumn honeymoons. Private flights into Santorini Airport allow couples to avoid the ferry system entirely.
Provence, France – more intimate than the Riviera, Provence appeals to couples interested in wine, food, and countryside luxury. With regional airports like Avignon and Toulon open to private aircraft, it’s an easy route.
South Africa’s Winelands – offering a mix of luxury, adventure, and excellent hospitality, this destination has been rising in popularity, especially with couples who want a balance of relaxation and experience.
Each destination comes with its own travel logistics, which is why we assign a dedicated travel coordinator to every honeymoon booking, to ensure that transfers, flight times, and local details are carefully managed from start to finish.

More Than a Flight: Personalised Service for Every Couple
A honeymoon flight is not just about transport, it’s part of the celebration. Many couples choose to include personalised touches onboard, from champagne and floral arrangements to curated playlists or bespoke dining.
Villiers Jets can source aircraft with lie-flat beds, private cabin zones, and fine dining capabilities, as well as arrange amenities that reflect the couple’s preferences. We work closely with our FBO and catering partners to ensure the in-flight experience is aligned with the occasion.
Our concierge team can also help with hotel coordination, ground transport, and unique local experiences, such as private dinners, spa days, or even a surprise stopover en route.
Couples who are open to flexibility can also take advantage of empty leg flights, which offer reduced pricing for specific routes, ideal for upgrading the return leg or extending the trip spontaneously.
Privacy and Flexibility: The Real Luxury
While luxury is often associated with plush interiors and high-end service, for many honeymooners the most important elements are privacy and time. A private jet gives couples the chance to be completely alone together, uninterrupted, and without the social fatigue that can come with commercial terminals or crowded planes.
There’s also the benefit of schedule control. Delayed ceremonies, unpredictable weather, or last-minute destination changes can throw off traditional travel plans. With private aviation, flights are adaptable, and itineraries can be restructured with far less disruption.
For those looking to take the concept even further, our mystery flight experience offers a unique take on the honeymoon: couples provide a preferred departure point, travel dates, and budget, and our team finds a private jet route to a destination tailored to their tastes, with a touch of surprise.
Final Thoughts: The Honeymoon You’ll Always Remember
Every honeymoon is unique, but the ones that start with a private jet tend to stand out. Whether you’re flying to a tropical island, a vineyard in the hills, or a secluded spa retreat, the way you get there matters just as much as where you land.
Villiers Jets provides access, privacy, and complete customisation, helping couples design a trip that reflects their style, values, and shared future. And beyond just the travel, our goal is to offer a smooth, stress-free beginning to one of life’s most significant adventures.
Start planning your honeymoon flight today, and let our team build a journey that begins, and stays, as beautifully as it should.
