These three resorts, located in Chile, Mexico, and Geneva are offering your clients unique experiences during their stay including private plane transfers, as well as private helicopter or limousine transfers.
Nayara Alto Atacama in Chile’s Atacama Desert launched a new private plane transfer service for guests. With this new travel option, up to eight people can depart from Santiago and fly directly to the San Pedro de Atacama aerodrome in just an hour and 50 minutes. The trip by private plane can be purchased together with any of the Nayara Alto Atacama programs, which include accommodation in adobe rooms and spacious suites with panoramic views of the Cordillera de la Sal and the oasis in which the hotel is located.
This new service allows travelers to get from Santiago to Nayara Alto Atacama in just over two hours. Ordinarily, guests fly two hours to Calama and then have an hour and 20-minute drive to the Nayara Alto Atacama.
“We wanted to implement this new travel alternative to facilitate the comfort of tourists who wish to visit the hotel, saving travel hours and the great congestion of airports,” says Eustaquio Martinez, manager of Nayara Alto Atacama.
Offering guests entrée into the fascinating landscape of the Atacama Desert, with its crystal-clear night sky and unbeatable stargazing, its salt mountains and lake, and its vastness, the 42-room Nayara Alto Atacama is the only hotel in the area in the San Pedro River valley. (Other hotels are in the flatlands near the village.) Surrounded by local shepherds and family orchards, guests have direct access to the river and nearby hikes. Being outside of the village’s glow means the stargazing is unparalleled. It is located in a dark sky reserve and its open-air observation deck provides a crystal-clear view of the most important constellations for the people of the Atacama: the Yacana Llama that runs along the Great River (Milky Way) and the Chacana Cross (Inca Cross) pointing south.
Rate for private jet: $13,350 each way (for up to eight passengers).
