Whether you’re drawn to the chic shores of the French Riviera, the unspoiled beauty of the Greek Islands, or the cool, understated charm of Portugal’s Algarve, there’s a European beach escape waiting to be booked.
As we move closer to summer, now is the time to start planning your coastal getaway. Luxury resorts, private villas, and premium beachfront experiences are already filling up – and when paired with a private jet charter from Villiers Jets, you can enjoy a seamless, stress-free journey from takeoff to towel-down.
In today’s episode of the blog let’s explore Europe’s most stunning beaches for summer 2025 – and how to get there in style.
Navagio Beach, Zakynthos – Greece
Also known as Shipwreck Beach, this iconic stretch of sand lies tucked between dramatic limestone cliffs on Zakynthos, one of the most beautiful Greek Islands. Accessible only by boat, its remote location makes it feel like a hidden paradise – perfect for a day trip or as part of a longer island-hopping journey.
Pair your beach visit with a stay in a private villa overlooking the Ionian Sea, and you’ve got the makings of a truly memorable Greek summer.
Fly direct to Zakynthos with Villiers Jets, landing at Zakynthos International Airport with luxury transfers arranged to your accommodation or charter boat.
Praia da Marinha, Algarve – Portugal
Widely regarded as one of the most beautiful beaches in Europe, Praia da Marinha is a visual masterpiece of orange cliffs, rock arches, and impossibly blue water. It’s also less commercialised than many other European beaches, offering a peaceful retreat for those seeking relaxation and privacy.
Stay in a nearby luxury resort or private coastal estate, and enjoy boat tours, seafood dining, and uninterrupted views of the Atlantic.
Fly into Faro via private jet for fast access to the Algarve’s most elite beach destinations. Don’t forget to explore our empty leg availability for exclusive rates on one-way flights into Portugal.
Cala Macarella, Menorca – Spain
The Balearic Islands are often associated with Ibiza and Mallorca, but Menorca is the true hidden gem. Cala Macarella, with its turquoise water and soft white sands, is one of the island’s most enchanting beaches. Surrounded by pine trees and accessible via a scenic trail or by boat, it offers a picture-perfect day in the sun.
For a luxurious touch, book a private yacht charter around the island and explore hidden coves and swimming spots.
Land in Mahón via Villiers Jets, where a private transfer or helicopter can bring you directly to your resort or marina.

Plage de Palombaggia, Corsica – France
Located on the French island of Corsica, Palombaggia Beach offers a stunning combination of pink-hued sands, shallow waters, and scenic pine forests. It’s effortlessly stylish, yet far more laid-back than the French mainland – perfect for a refined but relaxed summer escape.
Private villas and boutique hotels nearby provide all the luxury without the crowds.
Arrive in Corsica via private jet to Figari Sud-Corse Airport, just a short drive from Palombaggia. Contact us to book your flight and experience Corsica on your own terms.
Elafonissi Beach, Crete – Greece
Famous for its blush-pink sand and shallow, warm waters, Elafonissi Beach is a must-visit on the island of Crete. It’s ideal for families and couples alike, offering a blend of unique scenery and laid-back charm.
Pair your beach day with a stay at one of Crete’s top luxury resorts, with spa treatments, private pools, and panoramic ocean views.
