Island-Hopping in the Caribbean by Private Jet

The Caribbean is one of the world’s most iconic luxury travel destinations, but it’s also one of the most fragmented. With more than 7,000 islands, hopping from one to another by commercial flight can be slow, unreliable, and anything but seamless.

The Caribbean is one of the world’s most iconic luxury travel destinations, but it’s also one of the most fragmented. With more than 7,000 islands, hopping from one to another by commercial flight can be slow, unreliable, and anything but seamless.

That’s where private jet travel changes everything.

With Villiers Jets, travellers can explore the Caribbean’s diverse islands in total comfort, at their own pace, on their own schedule. Whether you're in search of ultra-luxury resorts, hidden beaches, culinary experiences, or cultural gems, private jet access makes multi-island travel not just possible, but effortless.

Why Island-Hop by Private Jet?

Commercial flights in the Caribbean often involve long waits, limited routes, and inconvenient transfers through regional hubs. Private aviation eliminates those inefficiencies, offering:

  • Direct access to smaller island airfields

  • Flexible scheduling tailored to your itinerary

  • Comfortable, private cabins with space for luggage, shopping, or sporting gear

  • No need for customs delays between local island transfers

  • The ability to visit multiple destinations in one seamless journey

With Villiers Jets, island-hopping becomes less about logistics - and more about freedom.

Best Time to Visit the Caribbean

The Caribbean is a year-round destination, but December to April offers the best weather, calm seas, and a full social calendar of events, regattas, and cultural festivals.

Looking for lower rates and fewer crowds? Travel between May and early July, or from late October to mid-November, just before the high season kicks in.

Book early to secure the best resort villas and private flight slots, particularly around Christmas, New Year, and spring break.
