Private Jet Palawan to Cavallo

Palawan to Cavallo covers roughly 5,867 nautical miles, an ultra-long-range sector suited to the Gulfstream G650ER, departing Puerto Princesa International Airport in the Philippines. Cruising at altitudes up to 51,000 feet on favourable routings, the G650ER manages the roughly eleven and a quarter hour crossing while its cabin altitude technology helps keep passengers noticeably more rested across a journey spanning much of the globe. Cavallo, the destination, forms part of the Lavezzi archipelago, a cluster of granite islands set within the Bonifacio Strait between Corsica and Sardinia. Palawan’s limestone cliffs and coral-fringed lagoons give way to a very different island character on arrival, one built around pine-covered granite and water of exceptional clarity, reached without a single road connecting the island’s scattered villas. Strong currents through the strait keep the sea remarkably transparent, a quality that has long drawn sailors and helped Cavallo build a discreet, largely European following over the decades. Development has stayed deliberately restrained throughout the island’s history, with owners consistently favouring preservation of the natural landscape over expansion. There is no commercial hub here, only villa terraces catching the evening light and the occasional yacht anchored in a sheltered cove. For travellers departing the Philippines, the route offers a considerable change of pace within a single long-haul journey, well suited to guests planning an extended, unhurried Mediterranean stay after time spent among Palawan’s islands. Days here settle into an easy pattern of swimming, sailing between coves and long dinners as the light fades slowly over Sardinia in the distance.
