PRIVATE WORLD MEXICO

While best known as a private jet charter company, Vista Jet’s Private World o ff ers a collection of exceptional experiences. Well-versed in creating adventures in the sky, the experiences take it one step further. Think: a master class with the world’s best winemakers, including the chance to have your own cellar curated or following in Picasso’s footsteps through France and Spain. One of the newest launches in the Private World collection, launched this year, is a wellness-focused journey in Mexico. The 10-day trip begins with three nights at Todos Santos, where you’ll stay at the Rancho Pescadero, tucked between the sublime beaches of the Paci fi c coastline and the Sierra de la Laguna Mountains. Spend time in the indoor-outdoor spa; head into the desert for a private guided trek and cool o ff in the waterfalls; tap into ancient Mayan and Aztec traditions with a cacao ceremony; and salute the sunrise with rooftop yoga. Fly by private jet to Punta Mita, where you’ll spend three nights at the One&Only Mandarina, hidden away on the Riviera Nayarit’s spellbinding coastline. Go snorkeling around the coral reefs of Marieta Islands (the islands are home to dolphins and sea turtles), explore by horseback or spend time in the spa — each treatment room is built within a volcanic rock garden, and treatments are inspired by indigenous and pre-Hispanic cultures. The fi nal destination is Yucatán, where you’ll stay deep within the Mayan forest at Chablé Yucatan and receive a personalized wellness program. Immerse yourself deeper into Mayan culture at Granada community; there, you will meet resident Mayan women and learn how to cook a traditional recipe. Finally, visit Mexico’s most famed archaeological site, Chichen Itza, followed by a trip to a private cenote within the ruins of a historic ranch. Enjoy a three-course Yucatecán lunch (with tequila, of course) in the shade of the garden. From $20,700 per person. Contact privateworld@vistajet.com, +1 833 853 8872, vistajet.com
