    I took my two kids on a holiday to the Seychelles, I confiscated their ipads/PSPs for 2 weeks. Trust me, it made a difference! No more staying at the screens, it was a good quality time with them and my lovely wife

    I hate to ask…… but I’m sure thousands of your viewers are going to ask the same question .… how much did these places cost per night on your recent visits?! And yes I’m well aware of the old saying: If I have to ask, I probably can’t afford it! 😎

    At 10:00 I see guests taking their shoes off, I assume the resort encourages totally bare-feet experience, that's amazing! Two weeks ago we stayed at the Waldorf Astoria Maldives and was sad to wear shoes often, however before that the Conrad Maldives we spent eight whole days without wearing shoes - amazing experience.

I like the Purple & Grey colours of the plane and the cabin as well 3:15 , I think if i were a Seaplane pilot..instead of flipflops i would rather some other light weight soft wear..but year Barefoot pilots..so awesome 5:35 , beautiful video..i just wonder though, if those resorts are not worried about storms or flooding...

    That Tesla says ‘a carbon neutral experience’. Seriously? Taking a 9 hour flight to The Maldives in business class, adding the sea plane and motor boat transfer, can hardly be called carbon neutral. It may well be that Soneva genuinely tries to limit the damage to the direct environment they operate in, but the word greenwashing comes to mind when you see that slogan.
