I've watched a few of your videos now and I really appreciate the fact that there's no annoying voiceover or cringey selfies and freaking out - just a really smooth film flow and soothing music. I sometimes play them in the background when I'm doing my yoga (because in my head I'm doing it at the resort! 🤷🏻‍♀️🙈😆). Bravo. 🙌🏻👌🏻

[@emiliaaragon936]

For some reason, your videos are therapeutic to me. I'm hooked now.

[@philiphilton985]

I feel the exact same way! My blood pressure always gets soooo much lower while watching these beautiful videos!

[@Susan-fj8en]

Can you sail slower ??

[@sashamellon822]

yes, I totally agree! these videos have been a god sent during lockdown! I've fallen asleep to them so many times. My favourite is Soneva Jani in the Maldives.

[@olimpiacallejas7810]

I like photography, luxury, travel, good music, good food, landscapes! I find everything on your channel. I congratulate you for everything you share I am your fan

[@imranabdullah545]

agreed 100%

[@bob18fan29]

I was in construction for 45 years and that was the most interesting use of decks, materials, carpentry skills, I could go on and on. Really enjoy watching this one over and over.Thank you !

[@luxurytravelexpert]

Thank you for your kind comment

[@bob18fan29]

Thank you again. The foods are good as well as everything else, but I watch to see how this is all built in exotic places, damn wish I would been a part of that resort!

[@nathanm3591]

Its a warmish sunny Sunday here in Auckland NZ and we are stuck in Covid lockdown. Watching this with the peaceful background music helps me relax and unwind, taking me back to such beautiful locations and helping me forget i have work in the morning ;)

[@luxurytravelexpert]

Hang on!

[@MyChalkman]

Why so many thumbs down? All his films are beautiful. Dude was either wealthy before or is now because of these films. Either way ...very lucky to have this life....Thank you for all the videos.

[@luxurytravelexpert]

Thank you for your kind comment

[@SaraMcGonagall]

It's a beautiful place, but there are some things that you expect to be a little better or cleaner. I'm talking about the pools.

[@SeerWS]

These hotel tours + asmr are my two favorite things to fall asleep to.

[@MrEmichan]

[@joeb2588]

I do the same thing. So relaxing. What is asmr?

[@esmeesme7666]

Me too. The Luxury Travel Expert has the best, enchanting, relaxing and chilling out videos!!

[@susmitasen6270]

Can you tell me one day one night price in soneva kiri ?

[@lumisan1963]

Just watched this episode. Just magical. Seems like it was in a different time and place

[@yongy6958]

This clip is awesome. It's like being there but not physically there. Very enjoyable. Thank you for this.

[@esmeesme7666]

Everything about your videos is so wonderful. Such artistry combined with stunning views, exceptional music and tranquil vibes. Please keep making these outstanding presentations!!

[@choyos7543]

Between the music and the beauty it puts me to bed dreaming I hope to visit one of these resorts one day😀

[@TheCOSMETICLOVER]

Thank you for all your effort you put into these videos - they are wonderful 🙌🏼

Come il video

[@PetraSchwehm]

You put so much love into your videos. 💖 Your words, the music you chose - it's all so inspiring. And the resort itself - outstanding. ⭐ The wooden chairs with the colourful cushions, an eye pleasure. The open bathtub surrounded by lush green, the kids tree house, the thai buffet, the ray of the play area, the ecological concept. Your behind the scenes views of Soneva... All so appreciated. I enjoyed every minute of this video. I truly understand why this is your favorite hotel. Thank you so much for your generous sharing and the time you put into your videos. 😊 Outstanding. 🌊🌴☀

[@luxurytravelexpert]

Thank you very much for your kind words

[@tonytowers5889]

​@@luxurytravelexpert I could not agree more. This is luxury for the soul.

[@vivianballestero7615]

Although this has been a few years ago, I still enjoyed your video. Thank you.

[@Confusedbluebear]

Everything about this video was AMAZING! The music, the sound of the ocean waves, and nature! You are my calmness when life becomes too stressful for me. Thanks for the beautiful video!😍😊

[@luxurytravelexpert]

thx for your kind comment

[@Confusedbluebear]

@@luxurytravelexpert 😍

[@6falconsue]

Dr. LTE, I think you did a seamless job of integrating drone footage with the rest of your footage. For viewers who object to the length of your video, there's no law that says you have to watch it all at once. But I did--didn't seem like 2 hours to me. Although I found myself craving popcorn--lol. In response to your query, I love to buy jewelry on my travels to remind me of the places I've been. My latest purchase was a sterling silver ring, designed by Paloma Picasso, at Tiffany's NYC. It's a really SMALL ring--haha. Anyway, thank you for this magnificent visit to Soneva Kiri.

[@sendelokath3427]

I wish I'm rich. I want to stay in that hotel. It's simply breathtaking

[@jyuuuri]

You will get rich. Don't you worry

[@geofftalbott8476]

This resort is the pinnacle of relaxation and therefore, to me, is exactly what the doctor ordered. A month of relaxation at all Soneva resorts culminating at Kiri. This is how to start my retirement, exactly how I imagined it, spoiling myself at the start so as to enjoy these resorts at their best. Sonu and Eva, I applaud you both for your imagination and foresight. I am now going to view again and start planing. Well done to you and your family for a most interesting and informative vlog .

[@rickcheng3464]

There are hundreds of uploads by this KZbinr . . . .. but this one is the only one that I saw this doctor who I admire. . . . . Really a Family Man . . . . . ! ! !

[@CVEIGASTUBEYOU]

Thank you for your best videos ever... The way you edit your videos it makes me feel stress free and it feels that I'm actually there with you... All the Best 💜💎💎

[@luxurytravelexpert]

thank you, Carlos, for your kind comment

[@ericwho2697]

Thanks so much for creating this video. I’m not sure if my wife and I will ever see that 5-bedroom villa but at least we got a chance to see this on KZbin. Thanks very much again.

[@KanchanmalaSengupta]

this is sooooooo sooooo soooooo amazingggggg... thank you for such a lovely video... i can see the world through your eyes... and you shoot and edit in a wonderful way that i can't take off my eyes from it

[@sailgoal]

Thank you for the tremendous videos like this. I appreciate your attention to details and do not mind the length as I soak it all in. It's as if I'm there basking in the sun or looking at all those chocolates. I will probably never get to go there. Literally brings tears to my eyes to see such places. God Bless.

[@starlabaucum5658]

Very relaxing to watch during this Corona mess. Beautiful place!!!

[@uhrologe2596]

Wow...this Resort is incredible. I've just checked the prices. They are starting from around 1050 Euro/night in March (so far the cheapest month). The "room" has a size of 4 4 8 square meter !!!! :-D This is crazy. Compared to other resorts ins similar tropical places in behalf of quality, accomondation and service, this is actually a very reasonable price for such an exclusive and luxury experience.

[@southeast_9072]

Saw a more recent video of yours with the same kiddoes in it…they have grown soo much! Traveling with friends is the best! 😄🏖️

[@luxurytravelexpert]

So true!

[@I_Am_TheUniverse]

Epic FULL feature film. Travel Expert, you always do a marvelous job with your presentations, but this is very SPECTACULAR!. Thank you so much for INSPIRING and MOTIVATING the hungry, as Steve Jobs could have said. FIVE STARS!

[@odonata9838]

I love all 1:50+ minutes of this video. Serenity captured on screen!

[@luxurytravelexpert]

Thank you!

[@redeagle5813]

Watched the whole thing. Thank you for taking the time to show us this masterpiece 😁

[@alesdrobek2512]

The drone takes are fantastic. Also kudos for the longer format, I can never get enough of your content. Keep it up!

[@luxurytravelexpert]

Thank you, Ales, for your kind comment. Safe travels!

Incredible resort; awesome production values! You keep raising the bar! Thank you!

[@magalibel5476]

An amazing video as usual ! Impressive resort ! BTW for us, foodies, you could perhaps shortly describe the dishes you choose ! 😉 A million Thx for sharing your experience !

[@euniceliciousTV]

I wanted to go to Soneva Kiri long time, I wish I will have a chance to stay there with my family. Is a must go place once in a life time. Thanks for your detail video, you make me feel I was there.

[@bobpiper4404]

Fantastic resort, thanks for a great vid, my only concern: as a retired commercial builder in Australia, The motto "no news - no shoes" is a bit of a dangerous look. The softwood decking throughout the resort is in a state of disrepair and not maintained ,in fact it looks worn out and a no shoes policy seems open to litigation, splinters from what looks like treated pine or equal would offer up toxic splinters that can become infected, It would be sandals for me.

[@memexpert]

i mean, are there any people that travel to these tropical resorts and NOT bring some sort of sandals?

[@verenajungbluth6787]

how beautifil ypur work is.... all.... the film, the Music.... it invites me for being interested in these beautiful luxury resorts you show on your channel... thank you so much!

[@andyossie]

I recently bought a 35 inch computer monitor from my computer desk a nice sound system so watching videos like this like I'm almost there and I don't want to stop the video because it's so mesmerizing

[@luxurytravelexpert]

Enjoy ;-)

[@bernardduckworth6384]

Never seen such beauty in my life great job on this video

[@lordlem]

This lookes absolutely perfect! In harmony with the epic nature and landscapes surrounding it, sustainable and natural. Just my kind of a resort. I disagree with the people here who say the pool looked grimy. I would prefer such a natural looking pool any day! Turqoise tiled pools would have ruined the ambience of the resort in my opinion. Just lovely! 😍

[@Mario-xr3jo]

I've just discovered your channel. Your videos are superb and the choice of music amazing. They can be used as relaxation or even therapeutic videos. Lots of thanks for sharing!

[@luxurytravelexpert]

Thank you for your kind comment

[@charlesa6280]

Your video, the music, the dream are so so soothing.... One day I will set foot on this fairy island....

[@Necronomous]

Would never have guessed that a swede was involved in this. I mean WOW! I am from Sweden my self. Amazing! Great videos as well. Have been up all night watching your amazing clips.

[@luxurytravelexpert]

I hope you enjoyed the videos :-)

[@Necronomous]

@@luxurytravelexpert They are both mezmerising and beautiful.

[@rochellecippa9939]

Just looked up Sone a Janni! Now THAT IS LUXURIOUS! Amazing!!

[@drkhookk2696]

Perfectly amazing..So far my favourite is Four Seasons. Right now I think I have to add Soneva on the list after this. P/S: Good to know you are a doctor too :))..Cheers and find that your videos are extremely therapeutic and so professionally filmed. That took a lot of effort!!

[@luxurytravelexpert]

Thank you 😊

[@DmitriyOleynik]

Normaly I do not watch videos that long, but this one I enjoyed a lot, thanks for sharing!

[@happyface96]

Ay yo if you're going back to Bali, make sure to check out the Capella Resort. There's been a lot of hype around it recently.

[@bizhelpguru]

Simply Stunning! I could loop that all day long! Bermuda has gorgeous beaches too . . .

[@MarianAkiti]

I enjoy your travel videos. This one was so nice I had to view on the big screen while having Sunday brunch with the hubby. Thank you for posting.

[@luxurytravelexpert]

Thank you, Marian, for your kind feedback. I assume it was a long brunch ;). Safe travels!

[@pairsay]

Great videos - good quality and the fact your not shouting and bawling is fab but some of the music is far far too loud - tone it down a bit please Thank You

[@rochellecippa9939]

Oh! New wood going up to, in and around the library. ! Makes a big difference!

[@MattShoreditch]

What an awesome video! I loved it. You really capture the essence of the best resort in the world. We went last June and are going again next month. Thanks ever so much for organising the complementary upgrade.

[@luxurytravelexpert]

You're welcome. And thank you for your kind comment. I hope you'll enjoy your stay next month. Happy & safe travels!

[@rochellecippa9939]

In the ice cream n chocolate parlor, COLOR!! What a treat in all the full wood and green. No flowers???

[@FrankypankyV8]

Very luxurious. Very beautiful. Very remote too, as I like to blend in with the locals ... But I would not say no to an invitation to visit a place like this... Thank you for sharing

[@MR_R.o.b.o.t.o]

Do you wear glasses! Dirty and RUNDOWN

[@jeannievail]

I've watched about a dozen or more of your videos and they're all so incredibly beautiful, the tranquility is hypnotizing and addictive. The extreme opulence and luxury explains such enormous price tags but what I cannot understand is how there can be so many of these facilities all over the world and yet they all stay in business. It doesn't seem that there could be enough filthy rich people to keep them occupied year 'round but there must be. No ordinary person can possibly afford one of these vacations. Obviously that's a big part of the attraction but it's just really starting to depress me realizing that, even making six figures, I will never afford to take my family to any of these places, much less fly them all first class. Jimminy Christmas! I suppose there's always the lottery. lol

[@Gallardo6669]

All what I have to say is I am not rich, but I learned I can afford everything when I really want it. I work hard and save money until day x. It works, believe me. Work hard or get a better job. If you really really want it you gonna be there, just believe and see your there! I did that many times and it works. I never thought I could afford a XCARET hotel in Mexico but I can...

[@sarahcampbell7870]

wow! top-notch! xo it just recently discovered was planning a cruise & one thing led to another fabulous i can say ya have another fan ya only go around once, & I want & deserve the best!

[@almaztynaliev3104]

[@katerh3198]

I love Soneva Jani -- the beach has always put me off this one.

Actually, Soneva Kiri features a great beach !!!

[@patriciamatthews9390]

Soothing love the music and the hotel in Thailand beautiful ♥️♥️♥️

[@barbarajohnson9050]

Wow. Wow. Wow. Excellent ! Thank you so much for sharing this unbelievable resort in paradise. The only things I would be afraid of would snakes and other wild animals.

[@birajkumarthapa1001]

Finally u showed ur whole family love that.

[@geecee5894]

I love wood but this is seriously a lot- it must get so hot during the heat of the day with all that undulating sun-bleached wood everywhere. No shade covers/umbrellas over those outside yellow cushiony things so it would get rather warm in those also. With all that free ice cream/chocolate for the guests I could see myself arriving in a Bell jet ranger helicopter & being carted off in a Chinook at the end of a stay there! The villa looked amazing but the pool's bottom could have have been painted blue to freshen it up & make it more appealing, looked a little shabby & dull IMO. Overall the experience looks delightful however, the north beach recreational spot was amazing- loved the hammock in the water. The restaurant dish description written on the leaves was incentive as was the honeycomb self service. Loved the cinema, loved seeing it all actually....

[@gleninvegas1]

Very good point Gee Cee! You have a good eye!

[@vikingchef4065]

Gee Cee I noticed that about the pool too, now that u mention it. But I suppose if I were there I would be too excited to dwell on it..and the Villa looks incredible at dusk for sure.

[@hc5510]

🤣

[@geoffreyboucher7068]

Just to let you no north east of Phuket Island is a unfinished boutique hotel built in a mangrove swamp.This property is haunted Thai locals will not work there hence the construction is not finished this was going to be the number one hotel in Siam.Ive visit Thailand every year with my job at Trailfiinders over 30 years now and I’ve stayed here a few times,has the essence of old Siam ,which is sadly lost due to new hotels being built for the western world,,,beautiful video as always...

[@trishmccarthy1676]

I really loved this! Thank you so much for allowing us to share your holiday. Also it was wonderful to see Viktor and Olivia again.

[@6falconsue]

I agree--they are delightful. What wonderful experiences they are having.

[@johnjensen8746]

This must be the 10. time I have watched this ABSOLUTELY AMAZING video. and apart from the new video from Soneva Fushi, IMHO this is the best video you have made. Are you going to make a new video og Kiri and Jani?

[@luxurytravelexpert]

There’s a more recent new video of Soneva Kiri on my KZbin channel 😉

[@sharonbaab3101]

I love your video's, it is all very beautiful and tasteful! I have one little comment: You turn a little too fast on your panoramic shots. I can't focus on what is shown.

[@gbaku88]

I don’t remember if I’ve made this comment on another of your videos but I am always pleased to see you using “comprise” correctly. Very few others do.

[@luxurytravelexpert]

Thank you for watching the whole clip. Hope you enjoyed it and that it felt like you were there :-)

[@johnbovard8454]

Not a steady-cam but a steady hand indeed. The video sequences are mesmerizing but extremely informative. Your selection of music is wonderfully melodic. Do you use a library service or is your own collection ?

[@luxurytravelexpert]

The music is from the library of Epidemic Sound

[@soni108]

Please add price ranges. I found it on their website but would be nice to include in your videos. Also - these lux resort have great spa but no gym? Thanks

[@bbtravelvideos]

Hoi LTE, Wow, just wow!! This really is a fantastic hotel, definitely one of the best!! I was well worth the 2 hours watch, only you can film it all this way, AMAZING! I’m thinking the jewelry store is more for the show than people actualy buying something from there. I also always wonder why all these luxury hotels have a library.. do people use it or is it also for the show..? The 5 bedroom villa is so stunning and perfect! That treehouse is such a Nice touch with the waterslide, i’m sure the kids loved it! The food all looks so delicious! I sure hope you stayed there for longer than 2 nights (which seems to be your standard most of the times). Brendan

[@luxurytravelexpert]

I stayed a bit longer here ;-)

[@sfdave65]

you know, i watch this video over and over. i'm still amazed at it all. i hope to one day stay there. i love all your travel videos, especially to thailand and viet nam. my only concern.....getting up in my age, while i can still do many adventurous things, the one adventurous thing i am not able to do is eat seafood. i've never been able to eat seafood my whole life. i've tried many different things, i just can't eat it. i see so much seafood in the restaurants you show at the various resorts, would someone like me, who doesn't eat seafood, be able to enjoy themselves?

[@DDFreeman]

It's mind-boggling to think of all the time and work that went into building that all 🤯

Well my friend, I must say that I have never seen a food spread such as this ! It is just a shame that our tummies have a limited capacity. ! I was delighted to see there were plenty of young'uns in the resort as well..it certainly underlined the family flavor. I hope the arrivals grow as the coronavirus becomes controllable in Thailand. Thank you again for another "you beaut" upload !!!!
