The airfield should preferrably be able to handle heavy jets such as G550 or Global Express.
Have you thought about Australia? For example, for Bedara (which has less than 20 rooms and suites IIRC and is almost a private small island) on the Great Barrier Reef, there's private launch service to/from the next island (Dunk Island?), which has an airport with a few scheduled jets so that it can handle fairly large aircraft, even though it's not exactly a private airport. Hayman is larger and much different in style (personally, I wouldn't call it luxury) and also has its airport with some scheduled service. There are a lot of private airstrips in the outback, so you might want to think about a luxury ranch. However, Aussie style is generally very different from Aman so these might not be suitable.
The Raffles property in the Carribbean can arrange private plane service to its island from the nearest commercial airport, so it has an airstrip and no commercial/scheduled service. I'm no sure if it can handle the larger planes.
