Air Partner - 04 lug 2018

Whilst travel trends are on the move each year, there are a number of classic Mediterranean destinations that never grow old with private jet flyers. The more exotic destinations such as Morocco are increasingly popular, as well as lesser-known and untapped gems such as Montenegro. However, year on year, we see travellers return to their Mediterranean idylls, whether to settle down in their summer bolthole or pick up their yacht. Here are the top 5 destinations for private jet flyers escaping to the Med this summer.

Nice has long been a destination to holiday celebrated by the elite. Attracting artists in the 19th century, including Henri Matisse, these pebbly shores of the French Riviera offer an idyllic and sophisticated place to experience this summer.

Opera Plage dates back to 1889 and is Nice's oldest beach club, overlooked by some of the area's finest properties.
