Worked in Soneva Fushi as a Sommelier for 2 years! Always wanted to meet you, perhaps we met and I don't even know if it was you or not. I am a huge fan of your content, you inspire me a lot! I applied for the job and I got it and it was the best time I ever had so far! Thank you for sharing all these marvellous experiences with us, thank you for inspiring me!

[@vlado2701]

Thanks dear Friend for Your friendly confessions and touching words ! 🙏

[@luxurytravelexpert]

Thank you for your kind comment ❤️

[@shaeheart]

I've wondered how these places treat their staff - is it a good work environment? Are staff treated well?

[@Ritz-mn8qf]

Nobody captures the opulence and beauty of these magnificent places the way that you do, along with the incredible music. Please never stop.🍾🥂

[@etjulien]

IMHO, you are the Steven Spielberg of Luxury Travel videos. Always incredibly moving experiences! Thank you so much!!!

There’s only ONE luxury travel expert- that is you! Your videos emote so much emotion. The music is impeccable. Videography well done. So relaxing So sublime So…luxurious.

SONEVA FUSHI It`s a dream in the Paradise!!! A Great Architects, Engineers and the entire Nature to live!!

My wife and I flew from Vancouver to Victoria on a DHC-3 Single Otter in 2010. An amazing experience and thoroughly enjoyed it.

[@nigeldewallens1115]

Just stunning! Seeing it in 4k made me feel I was there with you both! magical does not describe it sufficiently enough!! Thank you for allowing us to enjoy it with you

[@DesertVox]

Every shot is picture frame worthy.

[@thetranquiltraveller]

This is one of those where the journey is part of the destination! Thanks for another great video

[@ianhamilton396]

Well Happy Saturday. The lovely Mrs LTE returns !!

[@lindseysharon259]

Talk about serendipity! I was just rewatching your Soneva videos last week, and literally came back to rewatch the Fushi ones today. I even wondered when you'd next be going for a visit! So happy to see that you'll be doing more content around them. They really are a dream location for me. Edited to add that I'm really hopeful we see videos about the new location from you sooner than later. Dang near lost my mind when I heard about it . You really do capture these places in a way that even Soneva themselves can't manage.

[@KimberleyBlack007]

So cool to see the terminal like the rooms. It would get me excited knowing i was going to heaven for abit.❤❤

[@pascualgiarratana9394]

I really loved this video. The views of the flight were more than spectacular. Congrats Sir.

[@SonicRacingEPt]

Absolutely love your videos from Soneva Jani and the Maldives! Thank You and keep them coming... Someday soon I will travel there!

[@alexluedicke5399]

Stunningly beautiful. I look forward to your travels. Your compsition and choices of music are first class. Thanking you for taking us along and allowing us to see such beautiful scenery.

Another half hour well spent 😌 in my time with you.

[@alaksandra1979]

Yay! We're going back Soneva ☀️

[@ljcor1899]

Another Amazing and inspiring video. I have always said that a trip to the Maldives must also include a seaplane ride to make the experience complete. We have been fortunate to visit all of the 3 Soneva Maldives resorts ( Fushi, Jani, and Secret ) and your channel was and is the reason we keep coming back. Looking forward to next week’s production. Cheers!

[@rosepelzel4244]

Ohhh ... the colors are a painter's dream ... !! The water is so incredibly beautiful. Like being inside of a diamond 💎! I wonder how many trips a day those pilots make? I must admit, I'm not much of a fan of that lounge. 😮 I look forward to your dolphin experience, dear LTE ... they are so marvelous! Happy trails!

[@debrabutler7452]

Ahhh. Just had my blue dot fix for the day. Thanks for the ride.

I was at the Sun Siyam Iru Veli resort recently, already missing it, this video is making me want to go right away!

[@evelynhillier2877]

It brought back happy memories of our trip to Kuredu Resort. Our pilots were barefoot, too. That air terminal has been upgraded enormously since we went.

[@stephendoggett190]

You don't see many electric vehicles in Male! I have to say that the seaplane journeys in the Maldives are one of the greatest trips you can do in life. It has only been a few weeks since being in Iru Fushi, but I have to go back soon. Love to see one of the 170 resorts in the Maldives!

[@leesimpson1677]

I always enjoy watching these flights over the Maldives atolls and small islands. There is something about them that is so calming. I do wonder however, what the effects of global warming will have on the Maldives in the future, as many of the islands are literally only a few feet above sea level. Looking forward to your next review.

Please make a video on ozen reserve bolifushi too 🙏

Hhmm…a) have no idea how I would get there! B) cannot possible afford it… but I can dream and follow these wonderful videos…keep them coming LTE, and thank you

[@HisPeculiarTreasure]

Your videos are always so relaxing for me! Are you able to get underwater shots with your camera? The Soneva Fushi International Airport gave me a little chuckle.

Hello, The Luxury Travel Expert, Do you have experience “Off Season” Maldives ? What is your opinion ?

[@luxurytravelexpert]

I always travel to the Maldives in February or March

[@paradonym]

There's the short distance Tesla model X again I somehow have to think of every time I see a golf cart. Might be the best option though, as gas cars break down faster when only used for short distances

Oh -- I hope this means another soneva resort stay!!! They put me to sleep and are so well done. Just watched to the end - looking forward to the next video. What month was ths filmed - the weather looks good for summer?

Amazing!I have yet to travel on a seaplane.I notice you have lots of MAldives videos.Do you shoot them at once staying in the Maldives for a few weeks/month or do you go back and forth there between all your other destinations around the globe?

Your Channel has changed a lot since you reached One million subscribers. Traveling seems to be mostly about Maldives. Perhaps, it might be a good idea to change the name of the Channel as it is not any longer about worldwide traveling but just Maldives with occasional different locations.

[@luxurytravelexpert]

I think you may have missed my trips to Antarctica, Rwanda, Namibia, South Africa, Bhutan, Italy, Greece, Spain, Japan, Mexico, Anguilla, USA, Mozambique, Madagascar, Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, Costa Rica, and French Polynesia to name a few :-). FYI, when I finish my series about the Maldives, I'll publish videos about Botswana and Peru.

[@Zou007]

Have to admit that seaplane terminal looks pretty ugly, no thought into the architecture in that building. The atrium looks like a prison! Having said that i do enjoy your videos immensely.
