There’s a new way to get to one of the most charming little destinations in the Caribbean.

The Bequia Beach Hotel in the Grenadines has launched a new private flight service called Bequia Air, which will launch service on Dec. 12.

The new air service will operate flights from Barbados to Bequia on the hotel’s nine-seat Beechcraft King Air B200 exclusively for guests of the hotel.

Tickets will also include meet and greet services and ground transfers to “ensure superior comfort and speed.”

“We understand that today’s traveler is seeking insider access,“ said Bengt Mortstedt, owner of the Bequia Beach Hotel. “With the launch of Bequia Air, we are excited to ease the journey, and add an additional layer to the memorable experiences that await guests upon arrival to Bequia Beach Hotel.”

The property said Bequia Air would also be available for private flights on demand in the Caribbean.
