I absolutely love your videos. And soneva fushi, but my favourite part of the resort is the breakfasts as they have no competition of the sheer quality. Use your travel information regularly for trips overseas, and have helped me massively over the years. Keep posting quality vids for many years and have safe travels!

[@luxurytravelexpert]

Thx for watching 🙂

[@Georgeoglander]

Thx for liking

[@Radictor44]

It's Saturday again, you know what that means... hot cuppa coffee and a trip to the Maldives!

[@luxurytravelexpert]

Enjoy your ☕️

[@Dinki-Di]

I can see why you love this place so much. It’s glorious, indulgent, yet relaxed and unpretentious. Thank you for another wonderful tour on behalf of those who watch without being able to travel.

[@debrabutler7452]

"Barefoot luxury at its best." That's the best description of little blue dots, yet! Bravo! Thanks for the ride.

[@adiradoi]

I will go there with my family in February 2028, to celebrate 10 years since our honeymoon (also spent in Maldives). But this is something completely different. Thank you for sharing this with us.

[@A380_Flyer]

This must be the tenth time you’ve posted about Soneva fushi 😅 I think we can guesstimate that you love this resort lol

[@luxurytravelexpert]

I love it indeed ❤️

[@ljcor1899]

The Soneva ultra lux resorts set a very high standard in the Maldives. Having been fortunate to have visited all of them the experience is like nothing else I have ever had in any other resorts of this caliber. I will forever thank and be grateful to this channel for bringing to our attention the beautiful country of The Maldives and introducing the Soneva brand to us…. Cheers! 🎉🎉🎉

[@omarijoseph3189]

this place MALDIVES is just heaven on earth..love it.

To everyone here wanting to go to these kind of places: I'm rooting for you and hope it happens. :)

[@wisteria4981]

So Unbelievable….watching again and again. Better than a movie and so so surreal. Your footage is exquisite like no other….tears of joy❤

Amazing place! And that breakfast! Wow! That's a whole tour on it's own!

[@annemariewharton2797]

Always amazed at the creative planning and design which enables all this beauty.

[@nigeldewallens1115]

You make it look so magical! Now it is in 4K I honestly feel as if I am with you on that trip!

[@NayNayof68]

I have been a watcher of your channel for the past 10 years and you get better with every video. For a home bound person you keep me entertained and I thank you for that!

[@Sunskat19]

This is the one I would choose if going to the Maldives. I felt in love with this amazing hotel since your very first video about Soneva Fushi! 😍 I guess it is a special one for you too. Thank you so much! Greetings from Munich ☀

[@dragondawn420]

Wonderful video as always! Thanks for the update on this beautiful resort - it has spoiled me for all Maldives' resorts as your previous videos are the first ones I saw about these beautiful islands. However, I am specifically posting to thank you for sharing the information about the resorts' sustainability efforts that is printed in the front of their menus. I paused the video so I could read all of the information, and having done so I am amazed at the effort taken to minimize its impact on the environment, both local and global. Granted, I haven't read the resorts' websites about their sustainability efforts recently, but frankly - how many people do? Your sharing of this information is a benefit to not only the Soneva Jani resort but to anyone who might want to visit it. I know if I were in a position to do so (only if I win the lottery, alas), this would be a big YES in my decision matrix when deciding on a place to stay - and spend my money. Thank you again for what you share about the places you stay!

Great video of a great place my friend! Saturday night is the Luxury Travel Expert video time. Thanks for sharing!

The LTE does it again. Superb and worth the nearly 2 year wait for a return to the Soneva Big 2. So Jani next week.. and Soneva Secret week after? 🤞

[@luxurytravelexpert]

I had planned to stay at Soneva Secret last March but unfortunately the opening got delayed … Hopefully in 2025 🤞

[@BSGPaul09]

Nooooo.... Bummer deluxe. 😢 Don't know where I heard this from, but will the Burj al-Arab get the LTE video treatment? That'd be a great consolation prize for us viewers 😅

[@michaelafalck1345]

Thanks a lot for posting this beautiful Video and now I know where to go next year, albeit not this place (out of my leaugue😂). Never the less, you know I’m a huge fan of Club med and it will be club med kani next year on the north malé atoll.

[@rosepelzel4244]

By the time I got around to finally choosing what to have for breakfast, it'd be time for lunch! 😊 I must admit that I wasn't a fan of your villa, especially not the main floor bathroom. However, I liked the desk and chair in the main bedroom ... 😊

[@giacarale1]

Oh my goodness mate what a wonderful video, just beautiful, the resort is almost as good as Kisawa lol.

[@boston2974]

Thanks a lot for making incredible videos from Maldives. I really like them. I would like to invite you to come to Turkey. There are so many nice hotels, particularly in the Antalya and Bodrum regions. Br

[@calmplace3009]

Sustainable efforts, delicious food, too good to be true! Thanks for sharing and thank you for all your careful work! Is this your third visit? ...from what I remember. This looks better than Soneva Jani for us seniors!

[@Mrs_Sandy39]

🥰😍 nice

[@paradonym]

next long term goal for all of maldives is to get rid of Thilafushi. Something Shivdasani also addresses, teaching other resorts on how to avoid bringing trash to Thilafushi. Plastic, batteries and electronics being the hardest things to deal with. Soneva regulates it in a way that those things need to be packed in the luggage leaving the country, but that only means that it's thrown away at the airport, not on the island.

[@decemberclouds]

The breakfast here looks so amazing that I think it broke me. I would have to stay there all day, just sampling each item that I wanted to try. Have you done "best breakfast buffets" post on your blog? If not, please do so. I'm a breakfast buffet hunter and I find them the most exciting parts of your videos.

[@johnjensen8746]

When you had dinner at the flying sauces, I am quite certain that I heard danish language 😊

[@dd-dd2co]

How many times have you been to this resort? I recall you've been here more than twice at least prior to this trip.

[@Sam_Leo1]

Wow, what an amazing video, I love the Maldives!I was wondering, when travelling to all these amazing resorts, you stay on average how many nights?And do you go from one hotel to another one all year around or do you travel x month per year in one batch, than stay home x month per year?

I noticed that alot of random people that are in your shots are on their phones alot. I don't get it man. They are in such a beautiful place, why be on your phone so much? You might aswell stay home then. My eyes would fall out because of how beautiful these places are. Enjoy the moment.

What happened to subtitles embedded in movies? It was great feature on this channel.

You need to switch on the KZbin captions 😉

Two questions… 1. Overwater hut vs Beach Hut at Fushi. Which is better? 2. Overwater hut at Fushi vs. overwater hut at Jani. Which is better? I appreciate you!!

Soneva Fushi’s beach villas have the same layout as those at Soneva Jani but with a slightly different design

[@Warin71]

dear Dr. LTE, how do you secure your bookings against exceptional circumstances like atc strike, volcano ashes, you name it? Soneva demands payment three month in advance, no refund in any case except corona, worst cancellation policy I've ever read. So I pay 20k+ for nothing in case of an atc strike?😮 Too risky for me...

[@user-rj7ij8ku6v]

Is Out of The Sea a new venue there?

[@luxurytravelexpert]

No, but I had not included it yet in my previous Soneva Fushi videos 😉

[@ianhamilton396]

Soneva. Home Away from Home for Dr & Mrs LTE. Simply breathtaking. As a longtime subscriber allow me to add that Mrs LTE is technically ageing, but not really. 😏

[@dragondawn420]

I think this might be Sister LTE, since Mrs. LTE looks quite different. :grin: Disclaimer: I'm not a stalker, just observant. And on topic: love the new video! It's lovely to see the updates and changes.

[@qweasdy-pc6ql]

I like your videos. But always when I go such places there always flies and bees everywhere. Are there any flying animals annoying you anywhere?

[@luxurytravelexpert]

Not in the Maldives (at least not in the dry season)

[@qweasdy-pc6ql]

Thanks for the info. Did not know that. Will check out soon those places! Love your videos! ❤

[@paradonym]

I've rarely seen an L on the menu of Fresh in the garden. Like it advertises with being local, but only about 4 vegan or vegetarian choices are marked as local... Maybe understandable when the clinate is hard to grow much more vegetables in. When you take a german approach to it, you can't have anything delivered to the restaurant which isn't grown there on-island... But that's not a german approach there :D

[@guido1169]

a bit of a long walk around the island at the beginning, but with the attractive company it's understandable. Apart from that, another HQ video from you. You surpass yourself a little more with every post, which is not really possible as you are already at the 10 out of 10 level.

[@BudiandLeo]

For almost $8000 a night on average, the food looks pretty average such as the Dinner at Out of the Sea dishes. The quality looks like what you would expected from an all inclusive which is pretty disappointing once you pay for all that. Also, use some damn fly covers or fans. Again, paying for THAT MUCH AND YOUR FREAKING FOOD GETS CONTAMINATED. What the fuck.

[@gordonrobertson6502]

PS just has a word with my bank manager and told him I wanted to go to Soneva Fushi, he gave me a tent and directions to the nearest park...maybe next year.
