In ultra-luxury travel, true exclusivity is defined by access. The Dassault Falcon 900, with its impressive 8,335-kilometer range from Australia, opens doors to remote sanctuaries that commercial travelers can only dream of visiting. From New Zealand’s ancient forests to Bali’s wellness havens and the Maldives’ pristine atolls, this exceptional private jet doesn’t merely transport you—it unlocks a world of possibilities that redefines luxury travel.
The Falcon 900 Experience
The Falcon 900 experience begins at your private Australian terminal with a discreet greeting as your luggage moves directly to the aircraft. The tri-jet’s spacious, stand-up cabin accommodates up to 15 passengers in customisable configurations, while advanced sound-proofing creates an atmosphere for natural conversation.
What truly distinguishes this aircraft is its versatility. The three-engine design delivers exceptional performance and safety, allowing access to airports with shorter runways that larger jets cannot utilise. This means direct landings at destinations like Rotorua, saving precious hours otherwise spent on secondary transfers.
Your dedicated charter flight cabin crew serves cuisine tailored to your preferences as you cruise at 51,000 feet, while the 8,335-kilometer range makes it possible to reach distant destinations with minimal or no fuel stops—transforming multi-leg journeys into direct flights.
New Zealand’s Rotorua Retreat

The Falcon 900’s ability to access shorter runways proves invaluable as you descend directly into Rotorua Airport, bypassing the commercial hub of Auckland entirely. The aircraft’s advanced avionics and exceptional handling make short work of the approach, offering spectacular views of emerald forests and steaming geothermal valleys below. Upon touchdown, you’re met planeside by both airport staff and representatives from Treetops Lodge & Estate, then escorted through private facilities, completely avoiding the main terminal. Within minutes, you’re in a luxury 4WD vehicle winding through ancient forest, while commercial travelers would still be navigating Auckland’s busy terminals hours away.
Nestled within 2,500 acres of pristine New Zealand wilderness, Treetops Lodge represents the pinnacle of luxury immersed in nature. Your private villa, featuring panoramic forest views and stone fireplaces, blends seamlessly with the ancient podocarp forest surrounding it. The interior celebrates New Zealand’s natural materials—local timber, stone, and wool—crafted by master artisans into spaces that feel both luxurious and authentic. The estate’s “Estate-to-Plate” philosophy ensures exceptional dining, with ingredients sourced directly from on-site gardens or foraged from the surrounding wilderness by the estate’s accomplished chefs.
Days at Treetops unfold according to your desires. Perhaps begin with a private helicopter tour departing directly from the estate’s helipad, soaring over Mount Tarawera’s dramatic volcanic crater before landing for an exclusive picnic on an otherwise inaccessible ridgeline. For those seeking adventure, guided hunting expeditions with the estate’s gamekeeper provide both excitement and insights into conservation efforts, while the property’s seven streams offer world-class trout fishing in complete seclusion.

Engage with Māori culture through a private Food Trail experience, where a respected local elder guides you through traditional harvesting techniques and indigenous ingredients, sharing stories that connect food practices to deeper cultural values. This immersive journey culminates in a private hangi feast prepared beneath the stars, offering authentic flavors impossible to experience elsewhere.
For those drawn to Rotorua’s famous geothermal features, exclusive access to Waimangu Volcanic Valley before public opening hours provides a transformative experience of steaming crater lakes in impossible shades of turquoise and emerald, all explored in perfect solitude. Return to Treetops for treatments at the forest spa, where therapies incorporate native ingredients like kawakawa and manuka honey.
Throughout your stay, the advantage of arriving via Falcon 900 becomes increasingly apparent—while other travelers spend precious hours in transit from major airports, your direct access to Rotorua has maximised your time immersed in this remarkable natural setting, transforming a typical three-day experience into a truly comprehensive exploration of New Zealand’s cultural and natural wonders.
Bali’s Wellness Sanctuary

The journey to Bali showcases another dimension of the Falcon 900’s capabilities. After a comfortable flight across the Timor Sea, your approach to Ngurah Rai International Airport bypasses the typical arrival experience. Instead of joining the crowds of tourists, you’re met directly at your aircraft by VIP handlers who escort you through dedicated private facilities. Immigration and customs formalities are handled discreetly and efficiently while you relax in an exclusive lounge, your luggage transferred directly to your waiting vehicle.
Ninety minutes later, following a scenic drive through Bali’s lush landscapes, you arrive at COMO Shambhala Estate—a renowned wellness retreat perched above the sacred Ayung River near Ubud. This isn’t merely a luxury resort; it’s a comprehensive wellness sanctuary spanning 23 acres of tropical paradise, designed for those seeking transformation as well as relaxation.
Your residence, one of just a handful on the property, offers expansive living spaces inspired by traditional Balinese architecture. Named “Tirta Ening” (Clear Water), it features its own private Japanese water garden and waterfall, providing the perfect setting for reflection and rejuvenation. Four-poster beds draped in fine linens, verandas overlooking the jungle canopy, and open-air bathrooms with standalone stone bathtubs create an atmosphere of understated luxury that connects you to Bali’s natural beauty.
Your wellness journey begins with a personal consultation to align treatments with your specific health goals. The estate’s holistic approach might include Ayurvedic therapies guided by visiting masters, revitalising hydrotherapy in spring-fed pools, or private yoga sessions conducted in pavilions overlooking the river gorge. Unlike commercial resorts with scheduled classes, here every experience is tailored exclusively to you.

COMO Shambhala’s cuisine deserves special mention—the estate’s nutritionists and chefs collaborate to create dishes that support your wellness goals while delighting the palate. Ingredients come primarily from the estate’s organic gardens, with menus customised to your nutritional profile and preferences. Dine at your residence, in the open-air Glow restaurant, or request a private setup beside the river—each meal becoming a cornerstone of your wellness journey.
Between wellness activities, explore the surrounding tropical forests with guided jungle walks led by local naturalists who reveal medicinal plants and hidden temples. Experience the thrill of white-water rafting on the Ayung River with a private guide, stopping at secluded spots inaccessible to regular tour groups. For cultural immersion, the estate arranges exclusive evening ceremonies at nearby temples, where you’ll participate in traditional rituals alongside local worshippers, gaining insights few visitors ever experience.
The Falcon 900 transforms your wellness journey before it even begins. By eliminating layovers and reducing travel fatigue, the aircraft itself becomes the first step in your rejuvenation process. You’ll arrive at COMO Shambhala Estate with energy and clarity—ready to fully embrace the transformative experiences that await.
Maldives’ Bohemian Luxury

The journey to the Maldives represents the pinnacle of the Falcon 900’s capabilities, showcasing its impressive 8,335-kilometer range across the vast Indian Ocean. As your aircraft begins its descent toward Malé, the scattered pearls of atolls emerge from the azure waters below—a breathtaking introduction to this remote paradise.
Upon landing at Velana International Airport, you experience a level of arrival service that redefines exclusivity. You’re greeted directly at your aircraft and escorted to the Maamehi Executive Lounge, where dedicated staff handle all immigration and customs formalities while you enjoy refreshments. No lines, no waiting—just seamless transition from air to ground to sea.
Your final approach to The Nautilus Maldives offers two equally luxurious options: a 30-minute journey aboard the resort’s private eight-seat luxury seaplane, featuring leather seats in business-class configuration, or a leisurely 2.5-hour cruise aboard their luxury yacht, Nautilus One. Either way, the journey itself becomes part of the experience rather than merely a transfer.
The Nautilus, situated within the Baa Atoll UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, represents bohemian luxury at its finest—just 26 houses and residences on a private island where time holds no sway. Your ocean residence, perched over the turquoise lagoon, features a private infinity pool, expansive sundeck, and steps leading directly into crystal-clear waters. The interior emphasises natural materials and open spaces, enhancing your connection to the surrounding seascape while providing uncompromising comfort.

What truly distinguishes The Nautilus is its “unscripted” philosophy—here, there are no fixed restaurant opening hours, no designated dining venues, and no concept of rushing. Perhaps you’ll enjoy breakfast on your private deck as dolphins play in the distance, a lunch prepared by your personal chef on a secluded sandbank reached by private boat, or a midnight feast under the stars—each moment unfolds according to your desires rather than predetermined schedules.
Days might include snorkeling with manta rays in Hanifaru Bay during their seasonal aggregation—a phenomenon that attracts these gentle giants in numbers found nowhere else on earth. Your marine biologist guide provides insights while ensuring private access to the best viewing locations. For diving enthusiasts, the resort’s PADI dive center offers expeditions to rarely visited sites, where coral gardens and pelagic species abound in waters untouched by mass tourism.
As sunset approaches, board a traditional Maldivian dhoni for a private sailing experience, champagne in hand, before returning to your residence for bespoke treatments at the overwater Solasta Spa. Each experience reflects The Nautilus’s philosophy of unbounded luxury—free from the constraints of time or convention, with the resort itself becoming your private domain.
The Falcon 900’s extraordinary range has effectively shrunk the vast distance between Australia and this remote Indian Ocean paradise, transforming what would be an exhausting multi-stop journey into a direct flight of sublime comfort—opening up one of the world’s most exclusive retreats to those who refuse to compromise on either time or experience.
