The Four Seasons Jet Experience Charts A New Era In Immersive Travel
In a world that's constantly elevating the notion of luxury travel, a new era of high-end voyaging has arrived—one where the journey is just as exquisite as the destination. Welcome to the age of full-experiential travel, where globetrotting is less about ticking off bucket-list locations and more about orchestrating a seamless, sensorial adventure. Leading the trend is the Four Seasons Private Jet Experience, a roving utopia in the sky that caters to the traveler who craves both exclusivity and immersion. Experiential travel is not a new concept—savvy travelers have long sought out the most authentic ways to connect with a place. What's different now is the scale. The Four Seasons Private Jet Experience is a meticulously curated, nearly all-inclusive voyage that whisks 48 lucky guests across the globe in a custom-configured Airbus A321neo-LR, complete with an onboard concierge, private chefs and even the occasional in-flight massage. The Four Seasons jet Four Seasons This is not your average first-class upgrade. The experience is designed to remove every conceivable travel friction—no airport security woes, no layovers, and certainly no baggage claim waits. Instead, guests step aboard a flying Four Seasons lounge, where Dom Pérignon flows freely (almost 100 bottles per three-week journey) and every leg of the trip is choreographed to perfection. The concierge team goes so far as to cater to guests' highly specific preferences, like a favorite obscure whiskey, ensuring it's waiting for them at their next destination. One of the more fascinating aspects of the Private Jet Experience is the community it fosters. With a 30% repeat traveler rate, this is no mere vacation—it's a lifestyle. Some travelers have embarked on up to eight journeys together, forming a high-altitude social circle where inside jokes are exchanged over Michelin-starred meals in the Maldives, and future jaunts are planned between yoga sessions in Taormina. A meal aboard the Four Seasons jet Four Seasons The concept of 'surprise and delight' is woven into each itinerary, with Four Seasons craftspeople joining flights for spontaneous masterclasses—a mixologist from a famed hotel bar here, a flamenco guitarist from Madrid there. It's the kind of attention to detail that ensures these journeys feel both intimate and extravagant, a rare feat in luxury travel. With about eight itineraries per year, ranging from two weeks to 24 days, the Four Seasons Private Jet Experience spans the spectrum of ultimate escapism. There's International Intrigue, a 24-day journey through Tokyo, the Serengeti, Marrakech, Budapest and more. Or Ancient Explorer, which traces the world's legendary wonders, from Easter Island to Petra. For those who want to lean into their HBO-fueled travel fantasies, World of Wellness offers a White Lotus-inspired tour through Maui, Taormina and Koh Samui.

But for those seeking a fully tailored, stress-free, and opulent adventure, it's an investment in experience rather than mere transport. The future of travel is immersive, effortless and unapologetically luxurious. The Four Seasons Private Jet Experience is just the beginning. Across the industry, we're seeing a shift towards journeys that blend high-touch service with cultural immersion. Travel in 2025 is no longer about where you're going—it's about how you get there, and who's making sure every detail is perfect. The message is clear: In the new era of luxury, it's not enough to arrive. You have to experience it all—preferably with a glass of Dom in hand, at 40,000 feet, en route to your next adventure.

Four Seasons launches $188,000 White Lotus package, including private jet experience
Set-jetters take note. Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts, the only property featured in all three seasons of hit show The White Lotus, has launched a holiday package for the ultimate fan. Set to take off in May next year, the 20-day journey, dubbed World of Wellness, will begin aboard the custom-designed Four Seasons Private Jet Experience. Only 48 spots will be made available, with prices starting at $188,0000 per person. The lucky ones (who can afford it) will then set off to explore eight Four Seasons properties, including three featured in the show: Four Seasons Resort Maui in the US (season one) and San Domenico Palace in Italy (season two) and Four Seasons Resort Koh Samui in Thailand (season three). Other stops include stays at Four Seasons properties in Singapore, the Maldives, Morocco, Saint Kitts and Nevis and Mexico. 'We've experienced firsthand how The White Lotus has fuelled the set-jetting trend, inspiring travellers to explore the breathtaking Four Seasons properties that served as backdrops for this beloved series,' says Marc Speichert, the executive vice president and chief commercial officer of Four Seasons. "Now, with the third season captivating audiences, we are thrilled to provide guests with the opportunity to experience their own version of The White Lotus aboard the Four Seasons Private Jet Experience, blending their love of the series with the bucket-list journeys we offer in the sky.' A satirical comedy, the first season of HBO's The White Lotus debuted in 2021 to wide acclaim, spurring online searches for the hotel in Hawaii where it was filmed. The second season, set in Sicily, recreated similar fanfare when it came out the following year, a phenomenon that has been dubbed The White Lotus Effect. Created by actor Mike White, who also serves as writer and director, the show has also won several Emmy and Golden Globe awards. Each season, it focuses on the lives of well-heeled guests who check in at the fictional The White Lotus, where their lives, as well as the lives of the hotel's cheerful employees, unravel over the course of a week. Season three, which premiered on February 16, continues in the same vein, but with different guests, smiling new staff and a brand new location: Thailand. World of Wellness will take off from Singapore, before journeying onwards to Koh Samui, the Maldives, Taormina, Marrakesh, Nevis, Mexico City, and completing the journey in Maui. Highlights include three nights at Four Seasons Resort Koh Samui in Thailand, a lush hillside resort featured prominently in season three. Here, guests will have the opportunity to snorkel with guidance from an expert marine biologist, take part in Muay Thai training at the property's boxing ring set in the hills with 240-degree views of the ocean and jungle, and enjoy spa treatments. In Taormina, Sicily, which served as a setting in season two, guests will enjoy three nights at the San Domenico Palace, Taormina. Activities include cycling to picturesque wineries around Mount Etna, morning yoga in the Belvedere Gardens, and strolls through the pebblestone streets and back alleys of the historic town. The trip will conclude where the The White Lotus began, with two nights at Four Seasons Resort Maui at Wailea. Here, guests will have the opportunity to explore the coast on an outrigger canoe and unwind through the traditions of Hawaiian culture. They will enjoy all this as they travel aboard Four Seasons' own private jet, a custom-designed Airbus A321 featuring 48 luxury seats, each set two metres apart. The private jet also features 'lounge in the sky' where guests can socialise and experience the brand's wellness and culinary offerings. The White Lotus season three is streaming in the Middle East on OSN+, with new episodes being released weekly
