Looking Ahead to Summer 2026
Winter may still be in full flow, but planning for Summer 2026 is already well underway.
From standout yachts and villas to the private jet routes that continue to shape how clients move, this is a founder’s perspective on what’s emerging early, and why timing matters more than ever.
Winter is still very much in motion at Bluemoon. We’re continuing to work on new and ongoing bookings in the French Alps, luxury high-rise apartments in Dubai, and yacht charters for those seeking Caribbean warmth and trade winds. Despite this, many of the conversations I’m having now are already focused on what comes next.
Summer 2026 planning is well underway. Even as January remains dark and gloomy outside our London office, our bookings team has identified a handful of standout assets that are already emerging as clear favourites for the season ahead.
M/Y Babbo | South of France
Built by Cantiere delle Marche and launched in 2024, Babbo has performed strongly across dual seasons. Currently cruising the Caribbean, she will return to the Mediterranean in April ahead of the Summer 2026 charter season.
Sleeping twelve guests across six cabins, Babbo offers generous interior volume and deck space, making her particularly well suited to families or mixed groups. Her winter rate sits between $225,000 and $250,000 per week, with summer pricing still to be confirmed. Demand remains consistent for a yacht that mixes capability and comfort with range.

Lithos Residence | Mykonos
Newly built and thoughtfully integrated into the island’s natural bedrock, Lithos Residence is among the most substantial private villas on Mykonos, both in scale and offering. The property features ten guest bedrooms alongside additional staff accommodation.
With live-in staff, private chef coverage, security and daily services included, the villa is designed for seamless stays without compromise. Weekly rates range from €126,000 to €196,000, and early interest reflects a wider trend towards fully serviced villas that accommodate larger groups without sacrificing privacy.

Villa Margarido | Saint-Tropez
Perched above the bay, Villa Margarido is one of the standout private homes in Saint-Tropez. The villa combines modern design with Provençal influences, offering eight bedrooms and space for up to sixteen guests.
A heated swimming pool, full spa and fitness facilities, alongside generous indoor and outdoor entertaining spaces, make it particularly well suited to larger groups spending extended time on the Riviera. At €126,705 per week, Villa Margarido continues to attract strong interest from clients seeking scale, privacy, and uninterrupted views over Saint-Tropez.
Villa Magnifica
M/Y Loewe | South of France & Italian Riviera
Loewe is the kind of yacht we expected would define Summer 2026. Launched in 2025, she remains effectively new to the charter market, offering the appeal of a recent build without the uncertainty that can come with a first full season. Her brief appearance at the Monaco Yacht Show offered a glimpse of what was to come, and early interest has followed.
At around €400,000 per week, she sits firmly in the upper charter bracket. Even so, availability is already tightening, with several weeks secured between June and September. For clients looking to charter a contemporary yacht cruising between the South of France and the Italian Riviera, Loewe is shaping up to be one of the most sought-after options of the season.

Private Jet Route | London → Nice
London to Nice remains one of the most important private jet routes of the summer season. Beyond the convenience of a short flight, it anchors access to Cannes, Monaco and the wider French Riviera, particularly during peak events and high summer.
Nice is one of Europe’s busiest private aviation hubs, accommodating over 35,000 private flight movements each year. Planning early for your London to Nice private jet charter allows for far smoother arrivals during the busiest weeks of the season.
Private Jet Route | Dubai → Ibiza
As temperatures rise in the Gulf, we consistently see strong movement from the UAE into the Western Mediterranean, as residents look to escape the swelling heats to slightly more enjoyable temperatures. Dubai to Ibiza by private jet remains a key route each summer, where those flying in spend a couple of weeks in a luxury villa rental in Ibiza before moving onto a wider European itinerary that includes the South of France, Italy or major cities such as London and Paris.
Clients travelling this route tend to plan several legs in advance, ensuring continuity and flexibility throughout the season through Bluemoon’s fully licensed and regulated private aviation offering.
Looking Ahead
These assets and flight routes reflect the direction we’re seeing for Summer 2026; clients planning earlier, securing standout villas and yachts, and confirming flight access well ahead of peak season.
If any of the above aligns with plans for the year ahead, those conversations are already underway.
