What a blessing to our eyes. I pray that one day those who can't afford this be ones to enjoy these places. Take care and be safe.

[@kirilmihaylov1934]

True words mate 👍

[@virginianatalie2879]

Amen

[@paradonym]

One week soneva Jani + trip overnight with soneva in aqua + one week soneva Kiri. Means almost 50.000$

[@drwatsonca6945]

Locals will never be able to afford it

[@Radictor44]

Everyone, start saving to send yourself to one of these beautiful locations. Whether it takes you 10 years, 5 years, whatever... treat yourself, go on.. no body else will do. You deserve it.

[@henryhunter1773]

Yes. Holidays are amazing. ✈️

[@jhy2kmoney]

I can't afford it , just watch. Lol

[@sfdave65]

So true....ever since I discovered this channel, I started a special savings account at my bank. I put a little in each paycheck....it's not much, but it will get me somewhere someday.

[@complimentary_voucher]

Why do we deserve it? Honest question, because I don't think anyone does, really. I enjoy watching these vicariously, but I could never justify spending so much money on myself, just for hedonic kicks. It's so empty. If everyone thought a bit more carefully about where their resources were going, we wouldn't be in this environmental and social catastrophe.

[@aicerg]

@@complimentary_voucher I like finding these type of comments. Love sanity.

[@peterrimel8170]

I absolutely love this comment. Thx, Mandy

[@daleanderin1]

Your vids helped me through the initial stages of lockdown as i viewed them for escapism and peace of mind. Regardless of affordability, the vids show us what these places are like without having to splash out the £€$ to actually go there, and for that i thank you. My personal favs are Soneva hotels/resorts. 👍

[@donalflynn7764]

Staying in number 9 in Italy in September as a treat after a tough year, can’t wait!

[@DMHN84]

North Island! That combination between dense jungle mountains and beautiful beach with reefs is unbeatable.

[@gailmandrusiak9563]

The Amalfi Coast and Montenegro are my favourites and when we can all travel safely, those two are top of my bucket list! Mind you, all 10 are absolutely beautiful! Just watching this video brings out the ‘Wanderlust’ in me!

[@JohnSmith-pf1vg]

Maldives is the best for a tropical trip but Italy is something else... Can only imagine how it wouldve felt to be a roman elite 2000 years ago relaxing on your mountain top villa with those amazing views.

[@Fiverdog]

Soneva Jani would be my choice. It's beauty takes my breath away, brings a lump to my throat and a tear to my eye. Paradise on earth. One day would be enough to last a lifetime! 💙💙💙

[@heythave]

The only thing about these Maldives islands is that you may have to take a small boat or plane that will guarantee you sea sickness to get you to your hotel. Many years ago I chose a particular Club Med location to go to that was not too far away from the capital and transit point of Mali. It was not as nice as Soneva Jani but it was still spectacular.

[@fabienneroure9995]

All the hotels are breathtaking and I love how remote they feel! My favourite vacations are when I'm away from cities, secluded and surrounded by nature (especially quiet stunning beaches).🌸🌴🌺 I also love going to Provence (my native land) and spend some quality time with my family enjoying the surroundings and the songs of the cicadas!

[@missflipz]

Definitely South Africa. A rare experience with wildlife and beautiful peaceful surroundings. The only way for me in a remote place otherwise I prefer city escapes lots of action, people and things to do and see. Not too remote.

[@spectrumwalkingtours]

The two hotels in the Maldives look special and I like the one in Montenegro.

[@macerface]

Have you ever thought about doing a giveaway for your subscribers or had a company reach out to you to partner for one? Just curious! Also I would love to see a map of everywhere you have gone with pins on all the locations. Would be very cool to see.

[@KBacon-bu3jm]

North island is my favorite, love that you can wander around the island yourself

[@patr70]

Hotel Bel-Air in Los Angeles(a Dorchester property)is probably one of the very best(in the Top 3) in the United States. The furnishings, fabrics, lighting, bedding, fittings, and fixtures used the rooms and suites is in the as "good as it gets" for a hotel in the United States.

[@akneemoose3383]

Zanzibar has a unique heartbeat and when you finally breath……she takes a part of your soul.

[@amyabrahams3898]

Hi! Trust you well. I actually remembered something about each and every hotel which made me realize how focused I am when watching the videos. Have you decided on your next travel destination? Thank you.😋

[@luxurytravelexpert]

[@denisebonnell7610]

My two favorites: Royal Malewane and Aman Sveti Stefan. So beautiful!!! Thank you for this wonderful video.

[@marcbrunjes8686]

This is my Top 10 listing (been at all of them) 1 Soneva Kiri Thailand 2 St Regis Bora Bora 3 Mandarin Oriental Bangkok 4 Hotel Imperial Vienna 5 Browns Hotel London 6 The Balmoral Edinburgh 7 Fairmont Vier Jahreszeiten Hamburg 8 Mandarin Oriental Munich 9 Fairmont The Plaza New York City 10 The Mount Nelson Cape Town

[@DJL78]

Browns Hotel in London is wonderful!

[@heythave]

I’m surprised that none of the hotels in Bora Bora made his list. I’ve stayed at the Intercontinental Thalasso and it was great. Have to check out the St. Regis one of these day. I would have taken the one in Oman out.

[@PeachesandMoss]

What was your favorite out of them all?

[@marcbrunjes8686]

@@PeachesandMoss I must say my all time best n favorite is Mandarin Oriental Bangkok, because I stayed there over 100 times n it truly feels like home….

[@marcbrunjes8686]

[@MariaCKouto]

Soneva Jani, the last one, is my favorite.

[@jomontanee]

I wanna have the wooden house like Soneva Kiri Thailand!!!! My god. Stunning!!

[@stjepanabramovic7934]

Maldives beautiful bat miavana is just something else incredible beauty!

[@kayodeolaniyi356]

This show paradise on earth ...wow

[@fluffyfour]

My favourite of your hotel trips was the Monasterio Santa Rosa. Stunning and, for me a big plus, independent. Since your last visit to North Island, I believe it has been taken over by Marriott. Sadly, I don't think that'll be an advantage.

[@BenetClaire]

I would say number one to me is the Datai in Langkawi .. such good memories .. Also Six Senses Seychelles, Alila Oman, Rosewood London are amazing

[@luxurytravelexpert]

The Datai is an amazing property indeed

[@marcbrunjes8686]

Yes The Datai is special abt design, location but in my opinion is lacks in service. I have been there three times. Each time there have been service issues n each time questionable items on the check out bill. Lots of arguments. I would say the hardware is excellent but there are minor software problems. I would still recommend it, but not list it among my top 10 list!

[@NikkiGloom]

years ago in the 80s late in Tulum or near it in Mexico was a hotel secluded and it was awesome. i was there and it had only 2 people in the hotel rooms , us and another family. 3 of them and a few of us. the beach was quiet and private all over. now i dont know where it is or if its exists but yes,,,, a piece of heaven...i was a teen im 46 now.

[@novy1968]

...My heart goes to Six Senses Zighy Bay, Oman.

[@stephenmuir2659]

I really enjoy watching your videos and aiming to get to visit some, this one puts them into your preferences but I am hoping you could also do one which looks at top 10 luxury resorts for families. From what I have seen only Senova Fushi and Seychelles are where you have taken your kids. Having two teenagers of different genders, finding somewhere that has accommodation (3 bedrooms) and amenities to cater for kids is challenging, your views would be appreciated.

Everyone has there own choices but yes never loose hope because for everyone who work extraordinary definitely they will achieve one day. Cheers

Your tours are super relaxing and feels like we are right there no matter how far away.... Thanks.. This tour is visual glam awareness.. and soul comforting.

[@AngkorWatTrip]

So beautiful almost all of them

[@donnahanson7552]

A touch of the 'advertorial' about some of these films I think and I prefer a no shoes no news ambiance so the Zanzibar and Madagascar hotels would be my choices. But I hadn't see the South African safari lodge before and that may well creep onto my bucket list :-)

[@garywinsall3073]

Soneva Kiri and Soneva Jani are the two I would absolutely love to visit and stay, and also the Belmond Carusso.. so far my favourite hotel in the world that I have stayed is Belmond Hotel Splendido.

[@LghT-lf4yd]

I was the first guest of the year at the Caruso and just came back a few days ago. I highly recommend the property to eveyone, u prob. can't get a better Italian experience than there. The views from the pool are breathtaking and the service goes beyond the stay, they also do the PCR Test on site, which made the trip to Italy less challanging. If you are looking for a stay, I would recommend you to stay as soon as possible or after the main season as Amalficoast gets really busy during peek season and you don't need to worry as the pool is heated. Also I would suggest you to book atleast a Deluxe Sea View Room or higher, they worth 200% their money, not only because of the room size and the beauftiful furniture, the main aspects for me are the high ceilings and the big terraces with superb views of Minori,Maiori and the ocean which invites for an amazing breakfast. If you stay you should consider booking with Grand Luxury Hotels (like i did) or via any other agencys which will add up the experience. Last I can also suggest, if you plan a Trip around the coast to stay at the Le Sirenuse in Positano which is also another secluded world and an amazing Hotel.

[@hekate1326]

Soneva Jani is no doubt number one 💜 Thank you 🙏

[@dawn8288]

The Beautiful Maldives 💜💞

[@heythave]

Yes, go to Maldives soon if you want. Rising ocean water level means that many of these places will disappear under the water, just like the melting ice bergs.

[@johnjensen8746]

What criteria did you use in selecting which hotels / resorts to include? I would say there is a great difference between a hotel such as The Belmond in Italy, that has rooms of different sizes and resorts such as the 3 Soneva resorts, that have huge villas.

Tell her there are cheaper places in Maldives than Jani. I was at a Club Med resort in Maldives many years back and the price was reasonable and it was inclusive of all meals and entertainment.
