The time savings and flexibility provided by a Tradewind Aviation private charter means more time spent relaxing with family and friends, and less time worrying about connecting flights, island ferries, or other travel headaches. Instead, you’ll arrive relaxed and ready to enjoy these five top luxury destinations of 2024.
Anguilla
This island paradise doesn’t receive as much attention as other luxe Caribbean destinations—to the delight of its many repeat guests, who return often to enjoy its pure white beaches and cerulean waters without hoards of crowds. Awarded the #3 Best Island in the Caribbean by the 2023 Condé Nast Traveler Readers’ Choice Awards, Anguilla is an ideal destination for a long weekend—if you travel to Anguilla the most simple way, which is aboard a Tradewind Pilatus PC-12.
Tradewind offers scheduled flights directly to Anguilla from San Juan. Flights operate seasonally from December through April and fly directly into Anguilla’s Clayton J. Lloyd International Airport. New to the 2023-2024 season, Tradewind now offers scheduled flights from Antigua, perfect for connections from the UK and easily bookable through an interline agreement with British Airways. Additionally, flights to Anguilla will be offered seasonally from St Barths. For ultimate flexibility, private charters to Anguilla are available year-round from a variety of destinations in the Eastern Caribbean.
Once you’ve landed in the idyllic embrace of Anguilla, your weekend retreat can find an ideal starting point at Belmond Cap Juluca, a secluded barefoot luxury resort on the edge of the island’s most enchanting beach, Maundays Bay. Here, guests can immerse themselves in the sun-drenched ambiance, the rhythmic sounds of the surf, and the lavish amenities, including spectacular dining outlets and the rejuvenating Arawak Spa.
For those intrigued by the prospect of exploring the island’s natural wonders or perhaps indulging in a blissful sojourn within a resort’s sanctuary, Malliouhana Resort awaits as your perfect accommodation, nestled amid the captivating allure of Anguilla’s pristine landscapes. Malliouhana stands as the epitome of refined luxury, offering an exquisite choice for those seeking pure white beaches, cerulean waters, and an unmatched sense of opulence.
Regardless of where you choose to spend your time, your escape to this Caribbean paradise is destined to be truly unforgettable.
Exclusive Cap Juluca offer to Tradewind guests: Tradewind passengers who fly scheduled service from San Juan and stay at Cap Juluca receive a complimentary VIP Experience in the San Juan Airport ($250 value).

Once at Malliouhana, stay 5 nights or more to receive 20% off the best available rate and a $250 resort credit.
Harbour Island
This tiny, laid-back island encompasses the charming vibe found in the Bahamas, including its pink sands and quaint, pastel-colored beach bungalows. However, it’s notoriously difficult to get to, with visitors often needing to take the ferry from Nassau, which can chew into precious vacation time. Tradewind’s new Florida base allows travelers to instead fly directly into North Eleuthera Airport, just a five-minute water taxi ride from Harbour Island, making this Bahamas gem much more accessible.
The island doesn’t allow cars, so expect to get around using bikes or golf carts—which only adds to the island’s throwback charm. For your stay, opt for one of the island’s several laidback five-star resorts. The Dunmore offers unparalleled access to Harbour Island’s iconic Pink Sands Beach, and its charming cottages and Amanda Lindroth-designed interiors are retro yet luxurious. The Ocean View Club is similarly charming, with accommodations including traditional rooms and suites, beach shacks, and tent cottages, all with an airy indoor-meets-outdoor vibe.
Necker Island
Sir Richard Branson’s island playground of Necker Island is a bucket list worthy destination in its own right, but the fact that it offers complete seclusion—while being just a quick boat ride from one of the British Virgin Islands’ most stunning locales—is the cherry on top. Tradewind offers unparalleled access to Virgin Gorda, which is not reachable directly from the mainland United States. Tradewind operates seasonal scheduled flights to the Virgin Gorda Airport (TUPW/VIJ) from San Juan between November and April, as well as private charters from anywhere year-round.
Once landed, a complimentary Necker Island boat will shuttle you to the private island, which is just off the coast. The 74-acre island features Balinese-style villas that accommodate 48 adults and six children and is available for either privatized Exclusive Use bookings or Individual Stays offered at set timeframes throughout the year. All stays include world-class cuisine, beverages including alcohol, and access to endless water sports and outdoor activities.
Exclusive Necker Island offer for Tradewind guests: Fly scheduled service to Virgin Gorda and receive a complimentary VIP Experience in the San Juan Airport ($250 value) or 5% off a private charter flight. Book Necker Island exclusively and receive an extra night of complimentary entertainment (fire dancers, musicians, etc.) For those who opt for an individual stay, receive a $100 credit to the spa or gift shop.
Saranac Lake
The furthest reaches of upstate New York can offer some of America’s most rugged and beautiful landscapes, but the destinations are notoriously difficult to access, particularly in the cold winter months. However, that’s when places like Saranac Lake are at their most beautiful, with snow-covered evergreen trees and towering Adirondacks.
Nearby Lake Placid may be a better-known destination, but Saranac Lake is no less beautiful—and decidedly more secluded, making it the perfect destination for a weekend getaway with a significant other. Private service Tradewind flights are available from the New York, Connecticut, Philadelphia, and Pittsburgh areas and beyond.
Your bucket list accommodation while visiting the area should be The Point, the only Forbes Five-Star property in upstate New York. The all-inclusive, adults-only Relais & Châteaux resort has only 11 rooms, all of which boast sweeping views of the adjoining lake. Housed in log cabins, the rooms offer wood-burning fireplaces and hand-crafted beds, among other amenities. The main draw of The Point is its culinary program—including ever-changing creative menus tailored to each guest’s preferences—and its service, which is ever-present but never overbearing.
St Barths
Travel to St Barths in style aboard a Tradewind Pilatus PC-12, the most comfortable and efficient way to arrive at this island paradise. A tropical utopia with French sophistication, St Barths is the ideal Caribbean destination for all, including families, couples, and groups of friends. Five-star resorts, glamorous beach clubs, and high-end shopping are just some of the island’s highlights, but its real beauty is in the mountainous landscape and crystal-clear waters.
St Barths has an abundance of unbeatable luxury properties, including the iconic Hotel Le Toiny and stunningly romantic Le Sereno, both of which offer exclusive perks for those who book Tradewind’s Ultimate Private Jet Experience. For larger groups, the island contains a plethora of breathtaking villas offered through companies like WIMCO St Barth Properties.
In the pursuit of facilitating luxury travel experiences since its founding in 2001, Tradewind has emerged as the ideal way to seamlessly connect travelers to must-experience destinations. From the pristine beaches of Anguilla to the pink sands of Harbour Island, the secluded paradise of Necker Island, the winter wonderland of Saranac Lake, and the sophisticated allure of St Barths—Tradewind opens the door to unparalleled travel adventures. As travelers recognize and embrace the ease and luxury of private travel, the year 2024 beckons with exciting possibilities and unforgettable escapes.
