Private jets and exclusive Aman experiences make luxury travel even more fun.
Remote Lands and Aman Resorts, two Asian travel companies known for their ultra-luxury counterparts, have teamed up again for a series of newly announced private jet adventures, all of which will take off this fall, combining personalized service with upscale touchpoints throughout the journey Combined.
There are 3 itineraries between September and November, each an intimate experience with fewer than 20 guests flying between destinations on an Airbus ACJ 319, staying only at the Aman properties. To showcase the uniqueness of these tours, each pair of travelers will have their own private car, driver and guide.

Highlights of a stay at five Aman hotels include dinner with the former UN ambassador to Bhutan, a tiger safari in India, and a visit to the Taj Mahal. There’s also a private helicopter tour to Mount Everest, and a champagne breakfast with Tenzing Norgay, grandson of the legendary Sherpa who, with Sir Edmund Hillary, made summit history.
There will be optional circle meditations and discussions throughout the journey, led by philosophy and religion expert Shantum Seth. “Our goal is to go on a meaningful and educational trip, gaining insight into each country while having fun, sipping champagne and meeting other interesting people,” the company explains on its website.
