watching this as my corona vacation. splashing water on my face for effect.
Too funny!!!

I'm wheezing😂

It seems unreal, so beautiful and quiet, the ideal paradise to escape from the world. I hope anyone reading this will be able to afford to go there some day.
I just looked up how to visit the Maldives on a budget and it's much cheaper for a beach front hotel room/bungalow. $125 per night for some places. For an American, the airplane flight would be the most expensive part if going on a budget. Also, I would try to spend at least one night at one of the over the ocean bungalows just to have the experience and then go to the lower priced beach front hotel.
@@urbanlotusflower Wow, that is actually very impressive, thanks, I agree 100%, less than 200$ per night is very affordable for the Maldives. And I wouldn't mind spending much more for a luxurious bungalow just for one night like you said. This gives me hope, LOL.
THANK YOU,I HOPE WE DO GET TO GO....ITS BEAUTIFUL....
@@ashara_rhaenys But if you want the slide. Its over $1000 😏
Eres rubia como una de mi clase, eres tonta también ?
Imagine staying there in your own private villa with no distractions of any kind and just waking up to that scene. It's a pretty sweet place.
Grandma Here, I'm glad this is for Families, I've sending the kids for Rest & to get pampered, the grand kids can have fun too! I'm so glad this video was posted, I never knew a place like this would be available for Families, THANK YOU!!! 2020 here we come!!
Amazing. And thank you for NOT talking!
so pretty as well
This is what life on another planet looks like.
@@reducecotwo 100% agree
That's the best part! Relaxing @ not talking
@@lissetteleal yes, and no bikini figures as well
Loved your choice of music. The whole experience was put together beautifully. Thank you I've had a virtual holiday I would absolutely love to go there.
Beautiful resort. But what really impressed me was your camera work. You did an excellent job capturing the ambience of that resort. Your video panning was slow and steady and you captured most if not all of the important vistas and shots.
Best of all you didn't talk nor shove your face into every camera shot like many vloggers do. Thank you.
One minor point for possible improvement. It would have been nice to hear the ambient environmental natural sounds of the water and surf while you were there. Covering up with music not so good although the selection piece was peaceful. Thanks again.
Thank you for your kind comment and tip!

@@aikane1 Thanks
Well, I do have to say, thank you for taking me there for free. I just turned the heat up in my living room, Spritz a little water on my face. I'm golden.
Extraordinary!! Your video tour is most impressive! Thank you for sharing this precious gift to the world! Maldives is absolutely breathtaking!!
WOW and oooh la la - does it get any better than THIS?????
I love destination vlogs like this. no talking. just pure immerssiveness. I always watch this to relax myself. or to make myself fall asleep😅. 80 inch 4k tv.
Nate we don’t care about the size of your tv. 🙄. Big whoop.
@@dianeelaine the bigger the size of the screen. the more immersion it gives you. so most people would care. 😘
@Nate if you spent less on OTT appliances you could probably afford to go to Jani. And 'pure immerssiveness' is.... actually being there. Anything else is impure. Just sayin.
Im watching on my s20 altra
So 8k
I love that this structure doesn't detract from the natural beauty of this place. Well done to the designer's, blends Beautifuly.
Absolutely stunning! Thank you so much for capturing the property so beautifully. Your videos really do make me feel like I am there with you. Thanks for the Maldives experience❤️🙏🏻
The Travel Expert -
After watching this beautiful video I had to watch it a second time. I feel I have had a visual massage that extend it into my soul.
It’s shot with such clarity and with such care accompanied by the perfect lovely music. You brought me to tears.
Thank you for taking me with you on this incredible therapeutic voyage...
Wow this is paradise such a breath taking wish I have a lot of money so that I can take my family there.
This is a beautiful, relaxing escape from our current quarantines - thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I must say your cinematography has become masterful over the years....
What a beautiful world we have 💖💕Thank you for sharing ❤️
Just when you're absolutely positive that you have seen the best of this man's videos........you haven't.
I love watching all your videos! On a rainy or bad day I pull up your videos and I just get lost in them! Such beauty in our world that most people don't know exist, but with your generousity to share your experiences with the world it's amazing! I feel like I'm there too without having to pay any expenses besides having internet access. Free if you're using wifi! Lol
Thank you for your time. I will keep working hard so one day I can be fortunate enough to visit one of these exclusive resorts and share my experiences.🙏
This is the most beautiful thing I have EVER seen in my life and is the number one place I want to be in the world. You did the thing! I have been swept by a video. I will show my daughter and husband this and cry....again at how unreal this one place is. Words are not the feel as its so heaven on earth and done so well. A moment of silence........and perfect peace.
I mean this in the nicest way possible Terri - you need to get out more. This lagoon *was* one of the most beautiful things you could have ever seen, and quite cheaply too if you shopped around. Now it's an eyesore for people who's only purpose on the planet is to validate the maxim that money can't buy good taste.
@@stangoodvibes I dont have the desire to do cruise liner cruses anymore ....too many people. My husband and I just checked out exactly what it would cost to take a charter on a nicer yacht and that was too much for the week. We are just tired of wall to wall people. We go to Utah and Colorado lately. Thats always nice but that ....I saw that area after the tsunami in 2004 and that place wasnt there before it hit. But that place and everything it has to offer is much different than anything else in Maldives and just perfect for me. I have showed my husband and am soon to show my daughter. Slide or no slide is fine with me but its a burner currently burning and Im goin with or without anyone... I do love the way you film. It made me cry. The destination and the way you captured everything. Looked at your Armani tour in Dubai. Again great job. I sure hope your not payin too much for your stays. Im sure you cause business that they wouldnt have any other way. Where we goin next? Lol
Your videos keep getting better and better - love it - especially the overhead drone shots!!! This place looks incredible!!
This is absolutely breathtaking!!!! this is now on my husband and my bucket list !!! You did a wonderful job on this video!!!!
Hello
I’m so emotional😭 this is the most beauties thing I’ve ever seen in my whole entire life💯👌
Dont think that Jessica when you have strong faith every Thing its possible in Life.
I was too! Literally brought tears to my eyes. So stunning. I'm absolutely going to go there one day. I've got some hard work to do first #bucketlist

@@louc8105 hy
Me too
Officially added to my "MUST VISIT!" list because of your videos. That is saying something, considering I live in a tropical paradise with clear water, beautiful beaches and delicious food and you have made me want to visit another tropical paradise with just as lovely clear water and beautiful beaches and delicious food. :) ;) Thanks.
You really love Soneva Jani, guy, and you make us love it too. You look really passionate about that place and this is contagious. Your videos are getting better and more precises. That can help to visualizing. Thank you very much for such a lovely job.
Thank you, Maria. I am a big fan of Soneva Jani, IMHO, the best resort in the entire world :-)
Hy
I''ve never seen anything so beautiful. Thanks for the video. I was in a dream state while watching.Heaven has to be like this.
I watched this after a shot of g and nu-ting
I can truly say that this video was simply beautiful to watch. It actually made me feel emotional it was that stunning. It felt like I was actually floating around the place. Thank you! 🙏
Hello
My wife and I love your videos. They are the only travel videos we watch. Thanks for your wonderful contribution to youtube. I hope you go on to make many more videos and take us along on such wonderful trips through your work.
Just.......WOW!!!! Some people, including me, will never be able to go to a place like this. I'm so in love with your videos, it gives me the chance to see these beautiful places I'll never get to visit. I love the music, it's enchanting!! So many ppl want to talk in their videos, I love that you don't. It makes the video so much more special, imo. THANK YOU for what you do. Your channel has helped my anxiety so much. I started out watching your flight videos, this is only my 2nd resort video. I love it!!!
Never say never. :D.
So relaxing and makes me feel like I am there. To relax in the evening after a long day, I live vicariously through your videos. I take a luxury plane in first class to these luxury accomodations for a mental dream holiday. Your music selection and casual walk through process is great. I wish I could win the lottery and experience in real time. Keep publishing, you get better each time with your technology and skills.
This is absolutely breathtaking. I have to see The Maldives in my life, this would refresh me for life, I'm so in love with this
yes
The Maldives is quite a large atoll with lots of islands most of which are accessible on a modest budget. Go.
I am watching this on a Sunday morning, sipping my coffee and I have been transported. This is my new hobby.... maybe one day... thank you so much for the amazing video
Wow. Such an amazing place 🌞🌴. You are a professional at taking videos. You are making so many people happy watching your videos that cannot afford a holiday like this . Thank you for sharing your experience
I *LOVE* the jellyfish-motif pieces handing from the ceiling of The Gathering so much!
I've wanted to go here with my love and my family for so long....I had tears running down my face watching this video.
me too
Im from Denmark...and THATS a lot of money to spend....but I would do it when we get the chance as long as we still have money for normal living after ;-)
Roy Savage why do you cry from that wth
i had tears too, that i will never be able to afford this trip.
This property is so sprawling and appealing to the senses. The vistas of the sea is gobsmacking. Dream vacation doc. As usual impeccable filming.
Incredible tour of a place most of us can only dream of visiting. You did a great job of putting us there virtually. Now I know what
I'll be dreaming of tonight!
Beautiful,someday you’d have your own hotel and it’d be a perfect unique blend of all the places you’ve ever been.Very lovely 🙏🏽
Lot of the other private islands in the Maldives have similar sea and sand at around 1500 for a week but if I could throw away 15k for a weeks just lounging by the pool holiday in the sun, this would definitely be the place. It's the attention to every single detail that is staggering.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for gathering such stunning visuals and fun bits of interesting information about each location/destination you go to! ❤
Ooooh I got snobbier just watching that. By the time he got to his villa I was like, "oh they best be cleaning off the rust around that pool drain before I get there." hahahaha ;) BEAUTIFUL video.
Thanks for the tour! This is the only way I’ll ever get to see it 😊
Milani Inalim maybe someday me too huh have you some day for me laugh out loud we can only hope!
No Doubt.. Only the vary rich elite can go here.
@@rebeldog5567 nah you just need a job and save would help if your single n oi kids hehehe
Yeah same 😂 I can never see myself being able to afford this but it’s something special for sure
It will be much much better in heaven and its free there too---lol
Beautiful filmed , an hour of pure delight , thank u ( and it’s free😁
It is my dream to visit this beautiful place one day. I have watched so many travel documentaries on the gorgeous Maldives, 🇲🇻 that I feel as if I know the place, and yet, I have never seen it before in person. If I could only pick one place to visit, without a doubt, hands down, it would be Soneva Jani!!! It is beyond breathtakingly beautiful.💕💖💕
The best Maldives virtual tour I’ve ever seen! 🤩
So beautiful. My wife and I stayed at Paradise Island Resort in June 2019. This makes me want to go back to the Maldives. It's just such a bloody long way to go from Canada. Still, the Maldives and Iceland are, bar none, the most breathtaking places I've seen.
Norway instead of Iceland?
@@phillymathguy8142 Iceland was breathtakingly beautiful. Norway is the only Scandinavian country we haven't been to, so I have no first hand opinion on its landscapes.
@@martymcfly256 what's the rate in the hotel per night?
What a beautiful place to visit. Thank you for taking the time to make this video and share it.
This is probably one of the best online review channel... yet, it's one of the most undersubscribed one... I don't know why...
I am zened. I will travel here. I could spend my life traveling here and to Madagascar. Beautiful! Thank you. Truly amazing!
The best video about Soneva Jani. There are many others resorts, but Soneva Jani has something speciaI. I really appreciate it! Thank you for sharing!
Soneva Jani is simply the best
thank you for letting us live vicariously through you : )
Watching this musical splendor with my cup of evening coffee. Your videos are heavenly.💖 Bless you for taking us on beautiful tours along.
Oh... My eyes are shining,glittering like stars ,while looking at the place....so beautiful....mesmerizing. Thanks for this💯
Uaaaauuuuu!
Sem palavras!
É MARAVILHOSO!!!👏👏👏👏
This is my absolute dream destination, I so wish I could go here. I loved the video, even though I cant be there your video makes me feel like I am. But I am not joking when I say I am OBSESSED with this place, I love it, and hope to go there some day. Loved the vid!
You, sir, are an artist. I needed this so much today during this pandemic. So professionally and beautifully shot. Thank you.
When you think you have seen it all you haven't seen anything or nothing till Now.. The music is so perfect , hand in hand in alignment with the scenery which Captivates ones imagination and escorts you into the world of fantasy and dreams..I'm not physically there ,but yet..I'm there just from veiwing this video..
Beautifully presented..
Exceptional video! Wow, wow and more wow! I was sad when the video was showing the plane leaving and it wasn't even my vacation. Nicely done.
Thank you for your kind comment
Que lugar maravilhoso e abençoado! Eu me vejo aí! Gratidão por estar aí!
In last year i was in this beutiful country, it makes me cry, every time i see photos or videos in this place. Maldives ia a dream!
Love your video and music. So relaxing to watch or listen to. It was this video that made us choose this resort. Soneva Jani in June of 2022! Thanks
i have now resorted to watching holidays just to remember the days where we could go places
I love the employees preparing food, walking around barefoot
ooh my goodness me ...this is pure heaven and true paradise.🙏💃.Thank you so much for taking your time to do this Bellissimo of a movie like of this beautiful place..though i may never afford to go there at least with this video i feel like i have been there now..May God bless your wonderful travelling work.💞💌🙏
Beautiful! Thank you for the way that you did this video with no talking.
The first few minutes, I stared stunned in amazement. Then tears began to come, as I was overwhelmed with the beauty and grandeur of this place. I couldn't stop crying, as I couldn't stop watching. I found myself feeling overjoyed for those who are so blessed to see and stay at this exquisite place. I hope they will breathe in and savor every moment. Could it be possible that I could ever come here, with the love of my life?? Maybe not until I reach Heaven will I enjoy such a paradise... But Soneva Jani, which I didn't know existed until now, has become a dream I suspect my heart will not want to let go of. And I pray I do make it there someday, somehow. Thank you for sharing this incredible, beautiful video. Happy travels.
I feel the same!
Helo
I could spend all day in that water. It's amazing!
Spectacular video and the music was perfect! Maldives is now on my top 10 list! Thank you!
Exotica.. Fabulous..Amazing tour of most luxurious water resorts. Excellent job of video graphics team. Wonderful journey ❤️
This is the most breath taking video. I felt like I was wondering through myself . So gorgeous
Thx!
baby you cute asf whats yo insta
Dude man take me with you!!! LOL OMG i have never been on a tropical ocean and due to lack of $$$ these videos are about as close to these places as i will get thanks for the nice videos!!!! Breath taking places i wish i could go
I lost count on how many times I have seen this video. When I am at work, I play it as background music. I love the music as much as the tour.
Très belles vacances ! ça fait rêver ! Merci du partage et merci d'avoir filmé. 😍😍😍
Oh what a wonderful place great for meditation 🧘♀️ natural and simple is best , endless paradise thanks for your lovely video channel I can’t wait to go god bless and peace ALLELUIA
A great place to meditate is a quiet secluded spot in a forest glade, not a 5 star ultra-luxurious resort that requires a horrendous carbon footprint just to get to!
enriqueali 🙏 AMEN. Stated very well and OH how true.
Impressive as this hotel/resort is, for me it defeats the whole reason for visiting the Maldives. A simple beach villa, outdoor shower, no TV, no radio, no WiFi, a sandy beach with the waves gently washing on the sand, simple food, simple decor - that uniquely Maldivian style captures the heart. Even so, I wish the resort every success.
Also, even though I could afford it, it just is so excessive that I cannot justify it. I could do the QE 2 or leave a legacy for a child. I have enormous discretionary funds and it just goes against my soul to "burn" money like this. Love your philosophy too. Just saw "William Taudien" RUclips where he visits the Maldives and goes to an island for $20.00 a night which was incredible for the money. How could I ever justify this !? I do love these videos though and I hope they get a lot of Saudis to keep it going. Just cannot comprehend spending 4-8K a night when I can do it for well under a 100.00 somewhere else even more remote and tranquil. I am blown away by what people pay to poison themselves with excessive food and excessive alcohol "somewhere" fancy/nice, when they could do that all at home. I am only there for the nature.
@Karamjeet Bedi I will not be presumptive BUT if you have children like I do you always consider NOT wasting money. I have been blessed and have a fortune AND I would still not piss-away money unnecessarily. "Experiencing finer things" -- I have stayed enough nights 5-star hotels to NEVER want to waste that money again. Looking back it is often marketing BS. So IMHO it is not about missing any "finer things in life." These expenditures are OFTEN quite foolish.
@Karamjeet Bedi With all due respect my friend you may well learn the hard way that men who waste money on their "beautiful wives" emotional baseless desires forever regret it. Once you get to my age you learn better. BTW many of the very inexpensive places have strong wifi, no I do not go there for TV either. To me when I look at Soneva Jane it crushes me what they have done to the land and sea. The only time I could justify it is with children who need to be fed -- even then there are many less expensive wonderful opportunities. Let the presently "affluent fools" burn their money.
So beautiful. Sadly my travelling days are past now but this was absolutely the second best thing. Thank you. 😍
Love this.Watch this as often as I can.For me it’s heaven on earth 🌍♥️♥️♥️😍😍😍Thanks 💕
100% fabulous! 😍
Also, you can actually feel that the design was made by a Swede. It feels very nordic (in a completely positive way). 😊
This is so beautiful. I love it. My second time watching!
I feel water-drenched and sun-kissed with contentment and sheer happiness, just watching this video from my home whilst I quarantine for a hospital operation. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️+++++
It was an amazing tour to see the Bulgari Resort in Bali, I am from Caracas-Venezuela, its nice to travel this way around the world. At we all must STAY AT HOME about the CONVID-19.Thank you again for this lovely tour.
what time of the year did you go. i love how it’s not a lot of people. 🥰🧘🏽♀️🤩🌊
Thanks for the possibility to "visit" such places at least virtually :)
I can enjoy this 1 hour vacation while eating my hot pockets lol
It's amazing, I haven't stopped to watch it since last month
This video relax me after a long day at work, the music is perfect. Thank you so much for sharing your experience.
Look at those colours ( sky..when there are no clouds ..stunning )
I was fortunate to spend 2 weeks at Soneva Fushi a couple of years ago. it was sublime - the closest you'll get to experience what it's like to be Richard Branson with his own island, without being Richard Branson. I appreciate the craftmanship that Sonny and Eva have bought to Jani, but .... but... without the native vegetation of Fushi, Jani feels a little 'sterile'. Fushi let you feel like Robinson Crusoe, if Crusoe had Branson-esque wealth - barefoot biking along a sandy track never fully sure exactly where you were or what was around the corner. You could dive off the bar at the end of the pier and be snorkelling the reef teeming with fish, in between cocktails. Baby reef sharks swam between us as we floated a few metres off the incredible beach. And then there was our house - so hidden away down tracks and behind hedges you could seriously start to believe you really were the only people on the island.
Good luck finding *any* of that magic on Jani. I'm sure it probably appeals to a different kind of traveller - the cashed-up tourists who want a step up from Bora Bora maybe. People who like spending holidays in what is essentially an upmarket suburban villa, plonked in the worlds biggest swimming pool. Did *no-one* else think the drone shots looked like a rather badly planned surburban residential subdivision? Complete with kids playslides? Seriously?
They made an eyesore out of one of the most stunning lagoons in the Maldives, in an environmentally friendly way of course, but still inexcusable. Thank God I got to see it before this happened.
Fantasticna destinacija za odmor.Hvala na snimcima 🌜🌛☝️👍🌞💕💕🌤💛🤍
Thanks so much for sharing this! Have always wanted to visit the maldives but will probably never be able to afford it so thanks for letting me get at least a lil bit of feel for it thru your video.
Nice. Gonna bring my drone there to do all kinds of beautiful aerial shoots/video for my week long stay there. So hyped now. :D
Its like falling in love again with this resort watching this video. Some amazing captures in the video! You are truly talented which explains your range of videos. If I owned a resort, I would want you to come and record it all! Loved the first Soneva Jani video you made and the second has left none of the beauty missed.
Thank you for this wonderful tour! What a lovely place! It's just so peaceful and the sea looks marvelous from EVERY view! The menus made my mouth water! It's so empty...I wonder if there's a reason there are so little people there. Perhaps it's offseason? You make me want to go there! I love the idea of such an amazing ocean to swim in. I live off the pacific coast and you really can't see what's in the water...sort of creepy!
Oh my I fell in love with the video it was so soothing like watching a romantic movie absolutely amazing 👍
Beautiful, Amazing, Spectacular,
Heaven on earth.
If Monet could have envisioned a water resort and then drew it, this would be it. I was looking forward to your return visit with the drone. Magnificent.
Oh my gosh....this video was so well done. Thank you for this. Gives me something to look forward to planning for. Clearly one of the most beautiful places to ever visit. Thanks again!
You are so welcome!
Thank you for such an amazing video. You were very lucky to go there and can only dream of this so thank you for showing everyone it. x
I’ve been here before. It is a really good experience there and I really liked it there for a family vacation.
Holy crap! That’s beautiful.
Incredible video and drone footage! Thanks for sharing.
Absolutely stunning! Looks so peaceful and relaxing! It is definitely on our bucket list!
