Scottsdale to Tulum
Cenotes, ancient ruins, and the most design-forward luxury resort scene in the Caribbean.
Tulum has emerged as the most design-forward luxury destination in the Americas. The combination of Mayan ruins, Caribbean cenotes, and an internationally acclaimed hotel and restaurant scene makes it a natural destination for UHNWI travelers seeking something beyond the traditional Caribbean resort experience.
Private jet charter from Scottsdale to Tulum connects two of the most design-conscious luxury markets in North America. The 3.5-hour flight to Cancun International, combined with a 90-minute private SUV transfer, delivers you to Tulum's hotel zone with no commercial airport exposure. Axon Jets recommends Super Midsize or Heavy Jets for this route to ensure passenger comfort on the longer leg. The new Tulum airport (TQO) is now operational and reduces ground transfer time to 20 minutes for travelers staying in the hotel zone.
