You should get paid millions for the unrivaled high quality of this series.

[@luxurytravelexpert]

You should become my agent ;-)

[@MuhammadIamhardBrucelee]

Hahaha

[@carelessmemories1971]

I agree. He really makes the best travel/review videos. Worth a mint to the subject properties.

[@peterscheffer3578]

Love the tranquil music. Video is top notch as always. Feels like I'm right there, floating along with you on the tour. Nice! Thanks!

[@gihankarunarathna4204]

Ladies & Gentlemen’s, Allow me to introduce my working place. ❤️🏕

[@studiodistract]

I've been to Yala 4 times. Literally the worst safaris I've ever done. Every other national park in Sri Lanka offers a better opportunity to see animals. Did you just edit that shot of the leopard in? I'm sure I saw the leopard cub in another video of yours. I love the accommodation, but Yala is always a traffic jam full of dissapointment.

[@dhananjayaadhikari8836]

Came here After Harald Baldr vedio...woooooow really Amazing place...😍😍😍😍😍

[@dilantharajapaksha1786]

Beautiful. ...proud to be a Sri Lankan. .

[@annivali4356]

Goodness, this is very lovely. 😍

[@luxurytravelexpert]

It really is!

[@JamieMacgregor-9390]

Lodge is lovely at night i also like how the pool flows through the restaurant area :) Nice .

[@PetraSchwehm]

Very nice and soothing. 👍💖

[@noraalhajeri8122]

Loved it so much I wish I could be there one day🤗

[@mohamedamineatbib2577]

What do u do for a living sir ?

[@doraandme5827]

he is a doctor.

[@forfunna]

Don’t like the room that you stayed

[@ianhamilton396]

This is truly an incredible and great place........for the adventurous. However and given my innate fear of being eaten, not for me sadly. The warning sign did me in. Yet, I can truly appreciate the beauty and nature of what has been created here. Apart from the rustic safari chic, what struck me were the menus and presentations (and so reasonably priced given the location). Your videos are even more magnificent with the addition of the drone.

[@painexotic3757]

Haha exactly! I'd be terrified of an animal running up on me LOL

[@juanitarichards1074]

Fantastic!

[@yogeshkarande617]

It's really very beautiful the same as India. No doubt Sri Lanka is a very beautiful natural country. Very fantastic video my dear friend. My best wishes always with you and your team. 👌👌👌💐💐💐

[@debralavoie9095]

Love watching the leopard and elephant. A beautiful area.

[@YoshanBisanka]

great place👍

[@donnadwarika6370]

Thank you for this truly amazing n beautiful video

[@KimmyQueen]

How beautiful!

[@geecee5894]

All the meat dishes appear to be from Australia, not very environmentally friendly when I am sure that there is locally sourced produce (except for the fruit). Beach looks so so, not for me this place...

[@dermudejoe4386]

Awesome video. With a little mistake in the subtitles. It is 'Relais', not 'Relaix'.

[@levonalyanakian1831]

I’m going to Sri Lanka winter 2020-2021 . Can you tell me how you reached the lodge? I only have 2 full days in Ceylon so would it be better to discover from Colombo or from this lodge. Thanks

[@luxurytravelexpert]

By car (booked via the resort)

[@levonalyanakian1831]

the Luxury Travel Expert thanks for your reply, I did some research I don’t think I will be able to make it given that I only have two full days in Sri Lanka (as a layover until my A350ULR flight back to LAX). I have been considering booking at Soneva Jani on Dec 27-Jan2 however it is 5300$ a night and they require a weeks stay. Would you recommend the St Regis volummi (2200$ a night) for the value over the Soneva Jani for a family of four. Also, we might stay at two different hotels during our stay. Would you recommend this over six night pe in one hotel. Btw, I am pretty sure we have our minds set on Soneva Jani so I will email you soon for the two free experiences :). Thanks.

[@elisabethsteel3382]

Beautiful! Love this video! Thank you! I've enjoyed it very much! 😍❤️☀️

[@afandidarmanegara9895]

Do you really spot a leopard in the national park?

[@luxurytravelexpert]

Yes, Yala National Park is famous for its leopards

[@stevewilkins2754]

You are....amazing and so....sublime.....your filming is.....pure magic.....gorgeous, elegant.....beautiful....this is where you elevate every resort you film and present.....you are the "best" in this genre' of film-making....

[@jetcrazy7773]

Wonderful video. proud to be a Srilankan.

[@Gordi_B]

Isn’t this Jetwing Yala now?

[@isuruamarathunga7725]

No

[@dileenijayatileke5712]

Beautifully filmed. Thank you.

[@ΜΙΧΑΛΗΣΜΑΚΡΗΣ-ο7σ]

WONDERFUL..... you are very lucky person mr luxury travel expert

[@6falconsue]

One of the most beautiful resorts you've shared with us, Dr LTE. Poor leopard, with a dozen jeeps full of gawking humans. Love the claw-footed copper tub and sinks in the bathroom, with world-famous and well-traveled red suitcase looking on. Lovely organic design and stunning pools. Food looks yummy and healthy, too. You are really integrating the drone shots so nicely with the rest of your footage. TYSM!

[@luxurytravelexpert]

Unfortunately, the well-traveled red suitcase is damaged beyond repair since a flight with Ryanair a few weeks ago ;-)

[@luxurytravelexpert]

It was a flight from Santorini to Athens ;-)

[@angelicavillagran9839]

Sitios inimaginables. Que hermoso.

[@MuhammadIamhardBrucelee]

We stayed at the Jetwing property in Yala but this one looks way better. I imagine this has.a few x premium over the Jetwing😀 You get any special pricing for making these videos from the hotels? I can’t imagine a better influencer for these hotels than you and your videos.

[@Corrosionchemist]

Is it safe to swim in the surf? The scene young filmed shows a rather rough surf. Any sea creatures to be aware of while swimming?

[@luxurytravelexpert]

The surf is too rough and dangerous to swim. The area is frequented by blue whales and humpbacks :-)

[@SunSandAndSea]

the Luxury Travel Expert that's to bad. Nice to have an ocean to swim in.

[@aquaticsassociationofmizor5644]

Mr. Luxury, please visit Mizoram, it is located at northeast india pleeaassee

[@yajanthayapa160]

The same hotel chain is makes another location in Sigiria. You should visit it next year as well :)

[@luxurytravelexpert]

I should come back to Sri Lanka then ;-)

[@yajanthayapa160]

please do 😊

[@carelessmemories1971]

I am always on holiday thanks to you!

[@DeadBunny69]

Possible leopard encounter. Yeah, I'll pass.

[@karenlabianca]

Fascinating! Thanks for sharing!

[@plkanandarajah9157]

Thank you

[@uddeepana1833]

How much for 1 day

[@ИльяБелов-о8с]

Слава Богу за все!

[@sanplseasydraw]

Thank you so much

[@sanplseasydraw]

Beautiful place

[@thomaslau2362]

Will the elephant or leopard sneak into the tent at night?

[@luxurytravelexpert]

No 😉

[@u.stangl2495]

do you get invited to these hotels ? It is good marketing for them :-)

[@Rohanmodase]

When are you planning to visit india??

[@luxurytravelexpert]

[@jackasri6994]

Wow 5 hours or driving . But it’s worth it nice view . I Guess the weather a bit hot there. Thanks for sharing

[@ashwinjogaratnam9417]

[@petedavidson4698]

[@barbaraselden6330]

First one you've done that I've thought what an eyesore and deffo isn't what I'd call luxury

[@mfitzburger5137]

Yup. The buildings look like little bugs. :/
