Heliports & landing sites
Heliport & landing-site directory
Quick answerA private helicopter can only land at a licensed heliport, an airport with rotary handling, or a private site whose owner and the operator both approve the movement for that specific flight — so the practical question is never "is there a helipad", it is "is this one usable on my date, at my time, with my passenger and luggage count".
Most trips fail on the last 500 metres, not the flight. A resort has a pad but no night approval; a city heliport closes at dusk; an airport accepts the aircraft but the handling slot is gone on a race weekend. This directory covers the landing points we are asked about most across our six core markets and states plainly what each one is, who uses it, and what has to be confirmed before a quote means anything.
What counts as a legal landing point?
Three categories: licensed public heliports, airports and aerodromes that accept helicopter movements, and private sites — hotel pads, estates, marinas, venues — that need the owner's permission plus the operator's own site assessment.
The third category is where plans usually break. A pad existing on satellite imagery tells you nothing about surface load, obstacle clearance, noise curfews or whether the property will accept a movement that day.

Published landing points by market
We publish pages for London, Monaco, Nice, Cannes, Ibiza, Barcelona, Marbella and Málaga, Amsterdam, Rotterdam and Dubai.
These are the markets where we fly most and where the landing question is asked most often. Each page describes the site type, who typically uses it, and the constraints that decide feasibility.

How permission is actually obtained
The operating company files the movement and secures slot and site approval; we bring the request, the passenger and luggage picture and the timing, then confirm back to you before you commit.
Nothing on this site should be read as a standing permission. Approvals are granted per flight and can be withdrawn for weather, noise, events or airspace restrictions.
Night, noise and seasonal limits
Many city and resort sites are day-only, several have noise-sensitive hours, and event weeks tighten both slots and ground access.
For summer weekends on the Riviera and in the Balearics, and for major event dates anywhere, plan the landing point one to three weeks ahead rather than on the day.
How landing points are handled
- SkyMatch brokers and does not operate aircraft: every flight is performed by an independent licensed operator.
- Aircraft and crew are subject to availability on the requested date.
- Landing permission at a lodge, resort, heliport, marina or private property is confirmed per mission, never assumed.
- Weather and operational restrictions can change or cancel a flight — that call belongs to the operating crew.
- The final aircraft and price come from the performing operator, quoted for your specific mission.
For hotels, marinas, estates and event venues
If you manage a property with a helipad or a suitable landing area, we can hold your access rules, contact chain and seasonal restrictions on file so arriving guests are quoted correctly the first time.
List your landing point with usFrequently asked
Can a helicopter land anywhere?
No. It needs a licensed heliport, an airport that handles helicopters, or a private site with both the owner's permission and the operator's approval for that specific movement.
Can I land at my hotel or villa?
Sometimes. If the property has a usable pad or an approved open area and accepts the movement, yes. If not, we land at the nearest approved site and cover the last stretch by car.
How far ahead do I need to confirm a landing point?
A licensed heliport is usually same-week and often same-day. Private sites, event weekends and peak summer dates need one to three weeks.
What does a landing cost?
Landing and handling fees are set by the site and the operator, and are quoted per mission with the flight rather than listed here.
Do you operate these heliports?
No. SkyMatch is a broker. Sites are operated by their own authorities or owners, and the flight is performed by an independent licensed operator.
