I think it's safe to say I can skip my blood pressure meds on days I watch these videos!

[@POVmauritius]

You’re a funny guys

[@littlenest]

Really love the calm vibe of these tours, each video is like a mini vacation on its own ♥

[@uksights1]

Relaxes the mind watching this channel.

[@bulufish8208]

A million times better than any series on cable. Thank you for your time and effort to your audience 🎉🎉

[@Dripxxl-i4k]

Boycott Maldives. Visit india

[@andyt.80]

That long droneflight as an opener with that music - just WOW. Nobody can copy you're style

[@luxurytravelexpert]

Thank you ❤️

[@ethirel5558]

This is my absolute dream. One day soon i will live and see it with my own eyes. Can't wait to see the rest of the islands! My favourite KZbinr

[@zakelwe]

Hurry up before climate change due to luxury air travel and CO2 puts it all under water. Irony ? Just saying....

[@sashamellon822]

I’ve been following lte for years and I just can’t stand the other channels that make it all about them and not about the place. The only series I didn’t like was the Antarctica one in which someone else started talking! He’s gone back to it just being about the place and the experience that others can imagine they had. I really appreciate that.

[@ninettemurk7492]

They have kool birds there! Love their sound so much, you can hear one at 1:16:50.

[@mikeboxall7955]

Best way to spend 2 wonderful hours on a Saturday morning! Thank you Sir, for providing the insight with stunning photography and thoughtful commentary as always. 💯❤

[@Capo51]

Just amazing dream resort🌞✈️. As someone said, it is a mini vacation just to watch this well done video. 🙏.

[@ianhamilton396]

Rarely am I at a loss for words, but this time I might be. This is truly a special place and proof that there is a God and a team of architects, designers, the Management and Team who brought, and bring to life what is obviously one of the very best resorts in the Maldives, and perhaps the world. This is simply outstanding. And then along came Dr. LTE and his magical Disney and De Niro like storytelling with magnificent filming, editing and presentation to tell us all this place should be on our bucket list. And a special shout out to the young lady and her great first time sabering skills. Well done. Congratulations.

[@soniam3842]

Love how you take your time and try to show everything and make it so it feels like we're actually there! Thank you for sharing! One of my favorites!

[@jermainenelson974]

This is my top dream destination 💕💕

[@47404740]

If you’ve any doubts, always read the comments. Simply the BEST! Thank You LTE. ❤️❤️❤️

[@anitabowmer9096]

Once again you have surpassed yourself... Just when I think it doesn't get better than this, well "mind blown"!!!!

[@veetour]

Best travel channel to get my fix of the beautiful Maldives. It’s a dream destination that I want to visit someday!

[@Dan.d649]

This is one of the best resorts in the Maldives. Totaly amazing from start to finish. With world class cuisine all around and fun filled things to do there, seems endless. I just love the beach areas, and the villas. The infinity pools are excellent along with the loungers. Highly recommended to visit this beautiful place. Thank you once again for an amazing video!!

[@subtome10892.]

It brings back the memories I travelled to Maldives and got the sunburns during the trip

[@corinenordsiekart]

This is my new manifesting video, I'll be going here soon 😊❤❤❤

[@CCMMUISC86]

Love it! Sittin on the couch, working, but your music is making my body wanna dance.

[@Gerrit-Poort]

Just had a 2 hour vacation for free. Awesome video and thanks for sharing it with us.

[@gotraveltoworlds]

Beautiful travel place in the world ❤

[@Lemon_358]

素敵な動画、ありがとうございます😊 日本にいながら、モルディブの風を感じています✨

[@wimakoster]

Excellent...again ;-) Also nice to see part of the family again, looks like you all had a wonderful time...again ;-)

[@SeasideJazzQuartet]

Jazz is freedom and creativity, the place where music and emotion intersect.

[@Bb-br3xg]

intercontinental hotels are always beautiful, this one is no exception!

[@Sunskat19]

OMG the beach walk with the Lighthouse..😯 True paradise feeling.. I´m in love 😍 Thank you!

[@sameenamulani655]

Perfect vacation place to relax, the beaches r 👌🍹the resort has natural beauty Fabulous Who doesn't like being pampered and carefree days.

[@shawnstravelandlife1790]

This is absolutely stunningly beautiful. Almost like a dream to tell ya the truth. I’m so ready to go here . ❤️❤️❤️🏝️🏝️🏝️🏝️

[@JaneMetcalfe]

I have never seen anything as beautiful in my life! It is possible to just listen to your videos as they have an ASMR quality to them which I like very much. I could never afford to travel to the Maldives but I often dream about buying a one-way ticket as I wouldn't want to leave!!!🥰

[@Geoffreyboucher]

Watching from the Amanoi Vietnam I love my job and I really enjoy watching your videos LTE peace and happiness on your travels

[@pamelawilson9964]

Love it! That suite was beautiful. Love that it had fake grass.

[@vinodmerani5032]

The music during the drone view in the beginning was soul touching.

[@jonathanrichard6881]

Thank You for the Free On-Line Vacation- Awesome Vacation Spot of the Rich and Famous!🍹🍍🍒🏖

[@outdooradventures1]

I appriciate your amazing footage. Greetings from Sweden 🇸🇪

[@luxurytravelexpert]

Thank you 💙🇸🇪

[@Saki630]

Nothing better than $19k a night rooms, $100-500 meals-per-person, $$$$ wines, and a beautiful beach/ocean.

[@mayavandoorn261]

Never mind the ultra luxurious house you were in..it all fades next to the mysterious manta rays. That was the real beauty of this video.

[@argo12]

So beautifully done. And that opening music was amazing! I've been replaying that over and over. Thank you for all the work you put into these videos. They're a beautiful escape and a treat for the eyes and ears! :)

[@Mark-z1l]

I thought I had already seen the best in the last video I watched, but this is absolutely stunning, so beautiful. A paradise I dream about.

[@Denaaro123]

Stop dreaming just come

[@waveringmindz]

Thank you for sharing such videos and I keep seeing the sea every time I watch your videos.

[@andrea6421]

These videos just keep getting better & better though I don’t know how that’s possible! Between the sky and the water I think I saw 6 different shades of blue! Thank you for another wonderful video. 😊

[@fionaheales8481]

Incredible, was glued to the video😮 Housework can wait 😂 Thankyou Xxxx ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@StunningVideos]

Very nice!

[@MariaCKouto]

Beautiful resort. The goal is the nature. Maldives is the place.

[@miaprievassey9587]

Thank you so much for another spectacular video with your tremendous gifts of filming, editing and music/natural sound choices. Also, thank you for the special delight of the bike tour. I hope you have time to enjoy the wonder and beauty of your trips when you are not filming. Kindest regards!

[@wolfman3295]

Very beautiful! Thank you

[@marioimori]

Fantastic as always my friend. However, the boat house was the most charming feature shown in the video! Thanks for sharing.

[@takeasail]

This should be a truly unforgettable experience

[@GeertjeJ651]

Another beautiful vid. I always look forward to seeing your eggs Benedict wherever you have breakfast.

[@dontbefatuousjeffrey2494]

it's not just that your delight is so palpable in this video (and it's lovely to share in some of that)... but the heat practically radiates off the screen! Very welcome in my (admittedly mild) Aussie midwinter. Particularly lovely choice of soundtrack in this one. Dank u and merci beaucoup (fingers crossed I have those right - here's to my French grandmother at least) 🙂

[@ananda118]

Just watching the video gives out of the world experience… very well documented 👍

[@LuckyJones-7]

The choice of foods there was phenomenal. Thank you for showing the menus and the choices you ordered.

[@rmd4209]

Thank you for this amazing resort tour. Love to see the turquoise waters and every facility on offer. Keep it up!! 😍😍

[@isi7565]

Hi, your videos are absolutely perfect and you're doing us a great service by posting it, please may I humbly request a caption for the food you order so we know what it is when compared to the menu

[@teresaheckendorn3871]

Excellent video lovely place...everyone on their phones...when theres soooooooo much to see..

[@seasideloungecafe]

The enchanting blend of serene visuals and a calming melody on the screen creates an indescribable experience. It was a moment of profound beauty, and I wish to extend my genuine thanks to the talented individual who crafted this video.

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Great job on the Maldives Series! One hotel/resort better than the other.

[@pacpolovski6452]

Sehr sehr gerne mehr solcher Videos ❤

[@MaJivanPrabhuta]

Wonderful!!!! 😍 All shades of blue 🩵 Thank you so much always 🙏🇧🇷

[@6201AgeeDS]

Hands down, one of the (if not the, itself) Best Properties you ever stayed at in Maldives... This, alongside in St. Regis, Four Seasons, among others. Can't wait for what's in store from you, next.

[@kenkavanagh2018]

😀 Love your videos

[@marymcconnell498]

My family loves you Luxury Traveler & we want to thank you for all of your videos. It has been so wonderful watching all of them. Your videos take us away to Paradise and make us want to book a trip. We live to watch your luxury traveler videos, especially in the Maldives. Thank you from the bottom of my heart we pray for you and your family every day. Stay safe and keep making beautiful travel videos. You are amazing!!

[@cadlac1533]

fantastic videos. very much appreciated .🥰🥰

[@helsdels9324]

Gorgeous video yet again. Your Maldives videos are always amazing. Thank you ❤ ⛱️ ✈️ 😂

[@li5bon]

Amazing once again, would love to go there, for us seeing it , like a vacation in itself..

[@resortofdreams9485]

FYI. The word that is written on the beds is Marhaba , it's an arabic word which means Welcome 😊

[@ljcor1899]

Another amazing video. The atoll and resort look amazing. That said I’d have welcome an opportunity to have a look at the over water villas. Clearly the 3 bedroom one was majestic and very well appointed. The facilities look impressive and loved the lighthouse restaurant and sand bank. Wow just spectacular! For me, even though the resort looks amazing, it lacks the exclusivity of soneva jani and joali being. Maybe it’s because this being a large chain (intercontinental ) takes a bit of the boutique / uniqueness of the aforementioned ones out of it … I’d still consider it for our 2024 Maldives vacation but would need to see how it would compare to Ritz, Waldorf Astoria, St Regis, and Four Seasons…. Thank you for bringing such incredible content and looking forward to next week’s Jumeirah video production. Cheers!

[@jaguarkaboom8967]

Sometimes I wonder if life would be better to go work and live at one of these luxury resorts and escape from the whole world.

[@glasperle77]

same. imagine you do your daily work there but you are so busy, you don't watch media, listen to anything don't browse internet much , you have the same islands, same weather (most of the times). might be boring after a while but you will miss out so much stress and anxiety

[@bhakti7810]

Try it out as long as you’re young enough 🍀🍀🍀

[@stjepanabramovic7934]

What a beautiful beach!

[@rosepelzel4244]

Oh, my goodness!! Magnificent colors! Fantastic beach! Love, love, love the lighthouse!! Pools were outstanding! Love the rays ... so much fun to swim with them!! Were you able to feed them, too? The spa was perfection! The villa was soooo roomy!! And the welcome treats ... wow!!! ( i didnt care much for the villa's decor, though ... that's just me ...😊 ). This was a 'WOW!!!' Wasnt trying to 'be' a statement. Unpretentious! And very much appreciated that!! Dear LTE .... you live an amazing life!! Thank you for sharing slices of it! Well done, sir!

[@HibuShirenga]

Yesss

[@ayanabbasi3395]

very nice❤❤❤❤❤

[@suewiseley2724]

fresh fruit and juices with all those pastries!!! I could spend all day in breakfast bar!.

[@goldenboy3342]

Outstanding. Thank you

[@knowlege40]

Paradise on earth

[@saschapeischl4690]

Wow i Wish i could be there 😢 in this Paradies 😊

[@Gigi-1508]

Found this channel by accident, and I am so glad I did.

[@ananda118]

Wow Amazing 👏👏👏👌

[@charema]

Thank you again for this video. The images you shoot are amongst the most beautiful one on KZbin. Could you consider making a video about the equipment you use, filters, lenses, cameras, microphones…? Many thanks

[@yogeshkarande617]

This is the very best resort in Maldives. I would definitely like to visit once in my life 💕❤ from Mumbai India 💐💐👌👌

[@tai8799]

EPIC!

[@ManSoloTravel]

Firstly, your videos are well filmed produced and edited. They are very calming and the epitome of ASMR viewing. I love them! This resort however, is really not to my taste, the first time it has happened with a Maldives resort. The Hotel seems very corporate somehow, like it’s a big corporations idea of what a Maldives resort should be. The decor and furniture just do not seem to Hang together and are quite jarring in some instances. Obviously this is just my personal taste, but it’s a resort that has not gone on my list to visit. That said, I really appreciate your videos, you are a very fortunate person! Keep up the good work!
