best channel on YT for this kind of content

[@DDFreeman]

Your resort island videos are a fantastic respite from the noise and rancor of the world today. ♥♥♥♥

[@presley_yt]

I literally only learned of this resort a few hours ago (apparently it has one of only two plant-based restaurants in the whole Maldives) and I thought, "I wish The Luxury Travel Expert would do a video on this one..." Wow... ask and you shall receive! Now, universe, will you send me here, please?

[@susanbosch6141]

One of my dreams to visit this resort.... Our South African Rand is not worth much.... So God bless you for these awesome videos for us who most probably will never see it

[@FJB_TheBigGuy]

🤮 this resort is Rejected

Uni!…I second that request. Please 🙏🏽

[@Swati1203]

My brother is a chef there... restaurant called roots

[@edmondsmith4259]

Do specify (Ex: In a Loving, Joy Filled Prosperous way!) We wouldn't desire you to get there by way of something not favorable to you beloved child of God (of Good)! It will happen: Sooner than you expect and more proserous than you initially imagined!

[@louisejones2131]

I don't know how you do it, but you have steady hands that make watching your videos enjoyable.

[@luxurytravelexpert]

Thank you 😊

[@isaactan4823]

gimbal magic lol :)

[@halcyondaystunes]

​@@isaactan4823 wrong. When you catch a rare reflection of him in mirrors or glass, he is just holding his phone. He doesn't use a gimbal. I would think by just holding a phone it doesn't look so obvious to others who are holidaying at the resorts. I know if I was there and had spent thousands I wouldn't want to see someone walking around with a camera and gimbal.

Don't go Maldives, Its a scam over rated toursim. No medical emergency facilities, they are destroying ocean life and nature.

[@organichumanintelligence]

Thank you so much for these videos. The places you feature I might never be able to visit, but you allow me to do it without having to leave my home. Each night, I can escape to one of the locales you showcase, and I fall asleep relaxed. Again, thank you!

[@bulufish8208]

If I wait every week for these gems 💎. They are worth my time. Thank you 😊.

That art building by James Turrell is fantastic, especially at night.

[@siljasjodin]

Oh such a beautiful video - I could have watched 2-3 hours more, so relaxing 😌. What an incredible place on earth! All the details when it comes to design, art, food aligned with the sea and nature scenery. Thank so very much for this heavenly paradise review. I'm in awe.🙏🏻

[@luxurytravelexpert]

Thank you so much for your kind comment and the superthanks ❤️

[@kawangkwok5262]

Love your video, also like you to show that was a heavy rain in earlier video, that shows holiday was not always in perfect weather, thank you expert :)

[@apollo4657]

You transport me bro and I thank you for that. 🙏🏻

[@Jack_8Eight]

I've been watching your videos for 5 years. if I remember the first time it was about the bvlgari resort in bali, and since then I've always watched your videos. very nice and relaxing. keep up the good work. I'll always watch.

[@luxurytravelexpert]

Thx for watching the videos 🙌

[@isaactan4823]

Back to the Maldives - love it. Makes my day so much better.

[@andriandriansyah8367]

Beautiful very like the best

[@ianhamilton396]

Truly magnificent, once again. Thanks for introducing a further Maldives property to our bucket list. Given its ownership its not surprising that this is going to be the new 'go to'. The Tuk Tuk, Burger shack and whatever was the offering in the Airstream were quirky and fun. This resort seamlessly blends in. Cannot wait. Another extraordinary offering from the world's best YT luxury presenter.

[@metavrozental7521]

Sinse the war in our country i have been in stess. We lost so many beloved pepole. Watching your movies relakeses me and give me hope. So thank you from israel. ❤ We Love the middle east All we waty is peace!!

Great video Mr travel expert! I really loved the look of this place, some might say the inside colors were kind of boring but I think it contrasted really well with all of the art colors and the outside colors. Absolutely beautiful!

[@DDFreeman]

Water Differences: I love the Resorts where the water does not have loud noisy white-capped water rushing to the shore, but the water is calm and gently rolls to the shore !!!! Also that the water is totally clear, there are no black things of some sort on the bottom nor any sharks or other sea creatures !!!! Truly idyllic paradises !!!!

[@PG-ts9xz]

Love the music and your filming technique. Mesmerising.

[@luxurytravelexpert]

Thank you

[@johnnypooh3243]

Love the video Doctor..but why did you change the format to put your information as close captioning instead of the header at the bottom of your videos?..kinda missed it...😢

[@chineymo]

I miss that too, looks cheap now. But I think he mentioned he uses KZbin captions now because it allows translation into more languages for the viewers.

[@lorenafilippi634]

wow meraviglia

[@dawnbell6137]

Thank you for sharing. I swear you pick the perfect music for the scenery. I love it, it’s so relaxing. Thank you. I’m going to share your videos with others.

[@luxurytravelexpert]

Thank you for your kind comment 😍

[@kenkavanagh2018]

Wow ❤

[@annivali4356]

Lovely video as always. For me, purely based on the look and feeling they give me on video aestethically, absolutely nothing has topped the Soneva resorts in the Maldives. But of course there must be so many other aspects that come to play a role as well. I just like things to flow naturallly. Boxy and sharp-edged things/buildings tend to put me off a bit. :)

[@annivali4356]

aesthetically* 😂

[@TravelonlineWalk]

Top, welcome to Gran Canaria)

[@sayittomyfaceidareyou8629]

Wow I wish I could be your personal assistant that has to go every where with you. I will work for free 😂 i just love any Maldives places you go to and i never get sick of it.

[@rosepelzel4244]

Well, I think that's the nicest breakfast buffet that you have filmed yet! The mid-century contemporary decor was a bit underwhelming. I liked that it seemed more quiet and secluded than the Ritz. Another million dollar sunset, dear LTE!! Do you keep a separate file for all of your sunsets from around the world? What is with the trend of outdoor bathtubs?? Another winner on the books ... so very well edited!! How long does that take you on average, dear LTE? Keep up the fabulous work!! God bless!

[@turbofanlover]

If I had the money to stay at this resort, I would definitely pay a bit more and stay at one of the beach locations. Much less drafty, nicer surroundings and more privacy with the trees. Just more peaceful and relaxing, overall. And you have a beach. These overwater villas didn't look that great for directly jumping into the water, IMO.

[@taniadelacombe4476]

THE LIBRARY also FABULOUS !!🪄✨️🪄✨️I recognized immediately MARCIO KOGAN 🇧🇷 WORK, one of my favorites in BRAZIL !! ✨️👏✨️👏✨️💚

Cooles Video, thank you very much. If you want a video from snow ❄️🥰❄️ come to amazing Switzerland 🇨🇭

[@ljcor1899]

Beautiful Resort and albeit it’s located in same man made island as the ritz I would much prefer to stay here instead. Seems a bit more exclusive and the beaches and coves are more private and contain better reefs and wildlife. The restaurants and food look superb! Def a bucket list item. 🎉🎉🎉.

[@WALZ97]

I went to a Sun Siyam 5* resort for my Honeymoon recently, it was a fantastic stay - going again in the future, I'd definitely look at this resort!!

[@WALZ97]

Just watching this video is taking me back, getting the itch to book it again 😂

[@docmemphis2760]

for some reason i was waiting for you to walk thru that narrow passage on the side of the villa

[@6falconsue]

Pristine white sandy beaches (or rocky beaches if you prefer) beautiful blue water and stunning sunsets. Your accommodations were lovely. However, that swinging hammock was driving me nuts-- who's going to use a hammock when there are comfortable chaise lounges? The other thing I personally don't like is having to ride a bike to get to dinner! But I'm just too old for that sort of nonsense--lol. Food at the restaurants was plentiful and looked delicious, as did the Tuk Tuk gelato trailer---yum. Thanks, Dr. LTE--hope you're doing well. I am looking forward to Utah in March!

[@robinlea7673]

Please go to Morocco sometime :)

[@jeremy1350]

What many of us in Winter cold locations wouldn't do for a weekend in an overwater bungalow watching Million Dollar Sunsets on a chaise lounge !!!

[@naradaAye]

Work harder

[@ulyabond1514]

Very beautiful!!! But why there are no people swimming in the ocean near the beach? Is the water too cool?

[@chineymo]

He tries to film at times of day if possible before people show up for privacy reasons .

[@luxurytravelexpert]

Correct answer ;-)

[@helsdels9324]

Please can you bring back the text on your videos. Hotel history, class of room, resteraunt name etc The video looked stunning.❤

[@luxurytravelexpert]

The videos has subtitles but you have to turn on the KZbin caption.

[@user-uk2bf6qp4d]

I’m getting Fantasy Island vibes …

[@symonhunter8538]

One would think the resort was all inclusive. The small plates alone were upward of 30 bucks. One can dream😊

[@IamNesher]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@brandongarriga6119]

How did Patina compare to the Ritz? Love the videos

[@castortroy365]

Prefer the old captioning. The you tube CC seems too intrusive into the scene. But still, stunning videography 👍

[@greatestsportslegends]

Thank you for yet another stunning video. These have become part of my relaxing Sunday morning routine. What I am continually struck by is the scale of these properties and the absence of people! Especially around the pristine and beautiful beaches/water! I get that these are meant to be exclusive, with the staff outnumbering the guests... but from what I see in your (and other's) videos, there's a recurring theme of an almost vacant resort, save for a few pockets of a dozen or two people. Beautiful, but also an example of utter excess. And yet I will still enjoy your videos with dreams and ambitions of one day making the trip.

[@luxurytravelexpert]

Actually, I always film when there are no other guests around ;-)

[@wonderboy1998]

Wonder when you book a stay over there, if everything is included ..... like everything

[@BLiND_Tones]

"Oh look, an awesome, beautyful Beach!" "Yeah, let`s build a pool right on top of it..."

[@catatankaki5646]

It felt like a warm welcome from the resort staff ...

장점은 영상이 있으니 보면 되시고 단점은 보다시피 안쪽에 가두어진 파도가 없는 바다가 있지만 거기는 Yacht 계류장이고 수상방갈로 앞바다가 파도가 세서 계단으로 내려가 바다에 뛰어들어도 파도가 세서 수영자체를 할 수 없어요 이건 잘 생각하시고 가야 되요 시설은 새로 만들어 좋지만 수상방갈로 앞 바다 들어가더라도 바로 나와야 됨 그렇지 않은 곳도 많으니 잘 선택해야 되요

[@MiguelWard]

Usually enjoy your videos but a bit disappointed that this one did not include a single comment on different aspects of your visit

[@luxurytravelexpert]

The video does feature subtitles (you have to activate the caption by tapping the Cc button within the video)

[@MiguelWard]

@@luxurytravelexpert thanks for your prompt reply. Sorry for my misunderstanding. Obviously I have watched all previous videos with subtitles turned on and never realized…

[@johncook2765]

You didn't have to turn captions on in other videos. Just watched an older video with captions turned off and there were still graphics at the bottom of the screen. The episode at Kisawa

[@luxurytravelexpert]

@@johncook2765 yes, I changed the format to the new KZbin subtitles a few weeks ago. It allows more people to watch the video with subtitles in their own language

[@sarahgill1248]

What was the big building with lights that you walked into after the dining? I couldn’t work it out.

It's the big empty art piece he showed earlier in the video.

[@bbg9544]

Very nice!! Is there white sharks?

[@luxurytravelexpert]

No

[@roseinrichness]

I like the video and the very verrrrry good quality but from my opinion you need change the first part of the music because it looks like the music of war movies or scary movies, you need soft romantic music to suits the Maldives dream places ❤

[@luxurytravelexpert]

I mostly choose an epic soundtrack for the video intro, followed by some relaxing and ambient soundtrack for the hotel tour itself 😉

[@barnold62]

lol As an American I would have to order 5 plates of food to get full. lol

[@LovelyCooK]

Is the water sound effect artificial? It seems a bit off since it doesn't quite match the natural sound of the sea.

[@johncook2765]

Why no titles with information on this video? Just curious.

[@luxurytravelexpert]

The video does feature subtitles (you have to activate the caption by tapping the Cc button within the video)

[@johncook2765]

@@luxurytravelexpert I am not talking about subtitles. You usually have graphics with names of the restaurants or spas and how long the boat journey took etc
