2. PRIVATE ISLANDS BY PRIVATE JET

Remote private islands offer the ultimate in privacy and romantic
relaxation. A private aircraft to get there means you can access even the hardest-to-reach islands, in complete seclusion and relaxation from start to
finish.

North Island in the Seychelles is one of the most exclusive islands in the Indian Ocean. With just 11 villas, it was the chosen honeymoon destination in 2011 for Prince William and Kate, the Duke & Duchess of Cambridge. For optimal romantic privacy, fly there with PrivateFly in one of the fastest and most stylish of private jets, the Falcon 7X.
