I absolutely love your videos. And soneva fushi, but my favourite part of the resort is the breakfasts as they have no competition of the sheer quality. Use your travel information regularly for trips overseas, and have helped me massively over the years. Keep posting quality vids for many years and have safe travels!

I can see why you love this place so much. It’s glorious, indulgent, yet relaxed and unpretentious. Thank you for another wonderful tour on behalf of those who watch without being able to travel.
"Barefoot luxury at its best." That's the best description of little blue dots, yet! Bravo! Thanks for the ride.
The Soneva ultra lux resorts set a very high standard in the Maldives. Having been fortunate to have visited all of them the experience is like nothing else I have ever had in any other resorts of this caliber. I will forever thank and be grateful to this channel for bringing to our attention the beautiful country of The Maldives and introducing the Soneva brand to us…. Cheers! 🎉🎉🎉
So Unbelievable….watching again and again. Better than a movie and so so surreal. Your footage is exquisite like no other….tears of joy❤
I will go there with my family in February 2028, to celebrate 10 years since our honeymoon (also spent in Maldives). But this is something completely different. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Amazing place! And that breakfast! Wow! That's a whole tour on it's own!
this place MALDIVES is just heaven on earth..love it.
This must be the tenth time you’ve posted about Soneva fushi 😅 I think we can guesstimate that you love this resort lol

Always amazed at the creative planning and design which enables all this beauty.
I have been a watcher of your channel for the past 10 years and you get better with every video. For a home bound person you keep me entertained and I thank you for that!
You make it look so magical! Now it is in 4K I honestly feel as if I am with you on that trip!
To everyone here wanting to go to these kind of places: I'm rooting for you and hope it happens. :)
This is the one I would choose if going to the Maldives. I felt in love with this amazing hotel since your very first video about Soneva Fushi! 😍 I guess it is a special one for you too. Thank you so much! Greetings from Munich ☀
今回もモルジブの映像をありがとうございます😊ゆったりした気分になりました🤍🩵💙
First ❤looking forward to being transported to the Maldives
Lovely to hear the melancholic sound of the Kool birds' song in the background
Wow beautiful Resort maybe someday
Wonderful video as always! Thanks for the update on this beautiful resort - it has spoiled me for all Maldives' resorts as your previous videos are the first ones I saw about these beautiful islands. However, I am specifically posting to thank you for sharing the information about the resorts' sustainability efforts that is printed in the front of their menus. I paused the video so I could read all of the information, and having done so I am amazed at the effort taken to minimize its impact on the environment, both local and global. Granted, I haven't read the resorts' websites about their sustainability efforts recently, but frankly - how many people do? Your sharing of this information is a benefit to not only the Soneva Jani resort but to anyone who might want to visit it. I know if I were in a position to do so (only if I win the lottery, alas), this would be a big YES in my decision matrix when deciding on a place to stay - and spend my money. Thank you again for what you share about the places you stay!
It's nice when you include your family members in these videos!
Really lovely 🩵 thank u for sharing such a unique experience 🩵

Oh my goodness mate what a wonderful video, just beautiful, the resort is almost as good as Kisawa lol.
Great video of a great place my friend! Saturday night is the Luxury Travel Expert video time. Thanks for sharing!
So beautiful! Took a while for me to watch this video, I was on vacation! Not to the Maldives though. No other travel videos compare to yours, feels like we are right there with you. Thanks for sharing all the beauty with us. 😊
We absolutely love it and we have been there two times. Our third booking + Soneva Secret is in 2025. Seeing this video gives me goosebumps, as it properly shows the journey.

Sustainable efforts, delicious food, too good to be true! Thanks for sharing and thank you for all your careful work! Is this your third visit? ...from what I remember. This looks better than Soneva Jani for us seniors!
Thanks a lot for making incredible videos from Maldives. I really like them. I would like to invite you to come to Turkey. There are so many nice hotels, particularly in the Antalya and Bodrum regions. Br
Wow outstanding 👏
By the time I got around to finally choosing what to have for breakfast, it'd be time for lunch! 😊 I must admit that I wasn't a fan of your villa, especially not the main floor bathroom. However, I liked the desk and chair in the main bedroom ... 😊
The breakfast here looks so amazing that I think it broke me. I would have to stay there all day, just sampling each item that I wanted to try. Have you done "best breakfast buffets" post on your blog? If not, please do so. I'm a breakfast buffet hunter and I find them the most exciting parts of your videos.
Thanks a lot for posting this beautiful Video and now I know where to go next year, albeit not this place (out of my leaugue😂). Never the less, you know I’m a huge fan of Club med and it will be club med kani next year on the north malé atoll.
I love your videos and this looks like an incredible resort! How often do you stay when you film?

Wow, what an amazing video, I love the Maldives!I was wondering, when travelling to all these amazing resorts, you stay on average how many nights?And do you go from one hotel to another one all year around or do you travel x month per year in one batch, than stay home x month per year?
When you had dinner at the flying sauces, I am quite certain that I heard danish language 😊

next long term goal for all of maldives is to get rid of Thilafushi. Something Shivdasani also addresses, teaching other resorts on how to avoid bringing trash to Thilafushi. Plastic, batteries and electronics being the hardest things to deal with. Soneva regulates it in a way that those things need to be packed in the luggage leaving the country, but that only means that it's thrown away at the airport, not on the island.
Have been in a very similar resort in Thailand, they all seem to have the same eco concept, seen One seen them all. The Brando got me curious mostly by its heritage.
good
We have in the Philippines and we call it Philippine Maldives ❤❤❤

Through the process of elimination, there has to be a "worst rated resort in the Maldives" and I would very happily spend a week there!
Hello ! what was the number of your house ? The layout is amazing when I return do Sushi I have to go to this one to get sone ideas to my own house
I noticed that alot of random people that are in your shots are on their phones alot. I don't get it man. They are in such a beautiful place, why be on your phone so much? You might aswell stay home then. My eyes would fall out because of how beautiful these places are. Enjoy the moment.

dear Dr. LTE, how do you secure your bookings against exceptional circumstances like atc strike, volcano ashes, you name it? Soneva demands payment three month in advance, no refund in any case except corona, worst cancellation policy I've ever read. So I pay 20k+ for nothing in case of an atc strike?😮 Too risky for me...
there is no shortage of cushions at sovena
Two questions… 1. Overwater hut vs Beach Hut at Fushi. Which is better? 2. Overwater hut at Fushi vs. overwater hut at Jani. Which is better? I appreciate you!!

a bit of a long walk around the island at the beginning, but with the attractive company it's understandable. Apart from that, another HQ video from you. You surpass yourself a little more with every post, which is not really possible as you are already at the 10 out of 10 level.

I've rarely seen an L on the menu of Fresh in the garden. Like it advertises with being local, but only about 4 vegan or vegetarian choices are marked as local... Maybe understandable when the clinate is hard to grow much more vegetables in. When you take a german approach to it, you can't have anything delivered to the restaurant which isn't grown there on-island... But that's not a german approach there :D

Why?
Should laws be broken for climate pioneering work and should ethics towards fellow human beings be neglected for the goal of building climate-positive companies? Go for it in the replies here... I'm really looking forward to such discussions...
For almost $8000 a night on average, the food looks pretty average such as the Dinner at Out of the Sea dishes. The quality looks like what you would expected from an all inclusive which is pretty disappointing once you pay for all that. Also, use some damn fly covers or fans. Again, paying for THAT MUCH AND YOUR FREAKING FOOD GETS CONTAMINATED. What the fuck.
So sad they build those ugly over water Villas... Destroys everything
