There are flights we forget the moment we land. And then there are those where the very approach to the ground becomes a moment of awe. The plane window turns into a cinematic screen, and suddenly you see it: snow-capped peaks emerging from the clouds, emerald bays, tropical atolls or volcanic landscapes.
Indeed, in some cities, the runway itself can become a landmark. We’ve selected the most spectacular and unique ones for you. Each offers a sense of anticipation for a remarkable adventure!
Maho Beach, Saint Martin
Princess Juliana International Airport
Maho Beach is located in the south-western part of Saint Martin, constituent country of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, and it’s exactly where you’ll find that famous "Instagrammable" spot! Planes fly just 20 metres above the heads of tourists! Hundreds of travellers come here not just for a beach holiday, but for that perfect shot when the shadow of a plane sweeps across the sand. Perfect for those who appreciate spectacle and a touch of adrenaline.
After this dramatic landing, head to the secluded beaches on the French side of the island, enjoy fresh seafood in coastal restaurants, or embark on a private yacht cruise with stops at Anguilla and St Barts.
Lukla, Nepal
Tenzing-Hillary Airport
The airport that leads to Everest! The runway is literally carved into a mountain: on one side, sheer rock; on the other, a steep drop into the valley. Pilots undergo special training to land here, and passengers are treated to unforgettable views of the Himalayas before they even step off the aircraft.
Lukla is the starting point for treks to Everest Base Camp. You can set off on a multi-day hike with a private guide, staying in eco-lodges, enjoying tea with mountain views, and visiting monasteries. Or opt for a helicopter excursion. In our “Journey of Spiritual Awakening” tour, you’ll go on a pilgrimage through Nepal’s sacred sites, shaped by Buddhist and Hindu traditions — a mystical mountain land like no other.
Malé, the Maldives
Velana International Airport
A landing amidst turquoise atolls! Malé Airport is located directly on the water — your window reveals the crystal-clear Indian Ocean, reefs, and islands.
After landing, a speedboat or seaplane will take you to a secluded resort. Or perhaps you’d prefer to relax aboard a yacht, exploring several atolls? That’s exactly what we offer in our “Maldives: diving & resort holidays” tour: diving with manta rays, reef snorkelling, and dinner on an uninhabited island. After four days of underwater exploration, you’ll retreat to one of the Maldives’ top luxury hotels and let time slip away.
Seychelles
Seychelles International Airport
Arriving here feels like stepping into a postcard: lush tropics, azure waters, and a strip of land nestled amongst the palms. The runway on Mahé is woven into the emerald landscape of jungle and ocean.
After landing, you’ll transfer to a private island or boutique hotel with direct access to the coral reef. Explore mangrove forests by kayak, try underwater photography, or indulge in open-air spa treatments. For romantics — a picnic on a deserted island and swimming with sea turtles.
Gibraltar
Gibraltar Airport
One of the few runways in the world that intersects with a main road — traffic stops when a plane lands. On one side, a sheer cliff; on the other, the sea. A unique mix of urban design and wild nature!
After landing, take a trip up the Rock for panoramic views over Spain and Africa, visit the wild Barbary macaque colonies, and explore the caves and World War II tunnels. Then enjoy dinner at the marina among white yachts, local wines, and the freshest tuna dishes.
Paro, Bhutan
Paro International Airport
One of the world’s most scenic — and most difficult — landings. The aircraft descends into a narrow valley among Himalayan peaks, weaving past cliffs topped with Buddhist monasteries.
Once you arrive, immerse yourself in the culture: visit the Taktsang Monastery (Tiger’s Nest), meditate with monks, and hike along high-altitude paths. Enjoy cuisine with Tibetan and Indian influences, and stay at a boutique lodge overlooking the valley, where time seems to slow down. All of this is included in our “Journey of Spiritual Awakening” tour! Experience the magic of both Bhutan and Nepal — two Himalayan kingdoms rich in spirituality and set among majestic peaks.
If you care not only about the destination but also about the journey, we’ll create a personalised scenario where every moment becomes an experience. Spectacular airports, hotels, helicopter tours and yachts — everything tailored to your vision of the perfect holiday.
