I think that the first villa shown is a Sunset Ocean View Pool Villa Suite. I think it was Villa 52. I had been at the Villa 51. Amazing videos as always. The best luxury resort of the world.

Orange and yellow colour stands out and conform to relaxation, harmony, meditation and serene environment. Thanks 🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️

i guess Im kinda off topic but does anyone know a good website to watch new movies online ?

Hi there my friend. Did you ever go to Operyland Hotel here in Tennessee? And stayed a few days and noghts there as well? That would be awesome if you ever wanted to vacation in Nashville Tennessee. I haven't seen one a video tour of the beautiful place on your RU-vid channel yet.

@zzzthaoster 6 лет назад

Alway used blue tiles for the swimming pool, it just looks better. Yellow or brown is a no no, makes the pool looks unattractive and not so clean.

@HoneyPiepaye 9 лет назад

Woh! Really nice!! Love the place~~soneva kiri.....!~~

@jennicase 7 лет назад

these videos help me relax

@loveaodai100 7 лет назад

I very much like the style of your videos. Hope to see more of similar resorts especially the Aman resorts. They are so amazing!

@luxurytravelexpert 7 лет назад

My next Aman resort clip will be of Amanoi in Vietnam.

@loveaodai100 7 лет назад

Great! I have been living here in Vietnam for about 25 years. I hope to get to the Amanoi soon at least for a cup of coffee to experience my first Aman!!!

@karentemplesnow8960 8 лет назад

Having seen this and the Soneva Maldives videos you made, I have noticed, that whilst the resorts are incredibly luxurious, and the Suites large, the beds seem small in comparison. Surely the bed is one of the most important factors in a hotel room. Also, the resorts you visit, whilst perfectly serene and peaceful, seem to be deserted, which ruins the ambience. Maybe you get up and film at the crack of dawn?

@luxurytravelexpert 8 лет назад

+Karen Grace Aung Yes, I don't want to film nor bother other guests. So I film most of my clips during the not so busy hours :)

@kathrynsaunders3098 6 лет назад

@aillen8562 7 лет назад

I 'd like to see a little more of the amenities and food included, not only the view of the restaurant and the barbecue beach. But I love your video, thank you.

@gary304 2 года назад

Love this but unfortunately the small plane thing is way too scary , is there an alternative?

@luxurytravelexpert 2 года назад

Yes, boat 😉

@steampunk888 8 лет назад

It looks like it was designed specifically to develop mosquito infestations.

@nickgillon2625 7 лет назад

Thanks for your coverage of this resort. Whilst the internals of the resort look quiet luxurious and inviting however the extensive external timber work and lawns appear to be somewhat neglected . For the most part the resort looked deserted and while that may appeal to some its not a good look to others. There was no mention of massages or beauty treatments etc etc. Overall, The review did not invite me to come and visit i'm afraid as it lacks that fun atmosphere that young and old seek out for a holiday to reinvigorate their lives.

@narii87 6 лет назад

This resort has definetely a "jungle" feeling to it that could bring a real sense of peace. However your statement is bold

@thehighwayvideos1419 8 лет назад

Were you speedboating on a beach or a river because I searched Koh Kood's island resort and it was on a land?

@luxurytravelexpert 8 лет назад

+Haiwei Li The resort takes you in a speedboat in 5 minutes from their private island airport to the resort

@LisaAnn164 6 лет назад

Please can ANYONE tell me who composed the music selection that began at 5:40? How may I find this? PLEASE tell me. Thanks.

@travelphiphi7195 8 лет назад

@williamalford321 8 лет назад

One thing that stands out for me is the complete lack of wildlife. I don't even think I saw a single bird in any of the video. Very strange.

@soflodoug 6 лет назад

William Alford Ahhh the birds are between the legs. You dont know that its thailand many many birds here

@Jimmy-hf8fz 8 лет назад

The pool looked green. Was that the case or optical illusion?

@RN0010 8 лет назад

compared to Soneva Fushi in Maldives, this one is nothing to shout about..

@luxurytravelexpert 8 лет назад

I have staid at both resorts. Soneva Kiri is at least as good as Soneva Fushi :)

@RN0010 8 лет назад

Today the Travel Channel in their series called "Island Secrets" they showed Soneva Kiri .. as i said Soneva Kiri is nothing great. Their seaside villas are sad, the beach front for the beach villa is like a swamp area, the resort beach are not so beautiful hence it was shown only a couple of second. the longest coverage are on the tree house for the children, the chocolate spread, the 9 course meal restaurant which has to be reached by boat, and the in house ice cream menu served in their restaurant and the extra coverage was on the meal on tree house.. as i said, nothing to shout about and certainly NOT WITH THE AMOUNT OF MONEY to pay for these things..

@milenagabriela9061 8 лет назад

es hermoso! de tener dinero fuera alla!!! soñar no cuesta nada..!

@sujplayz1239 9 лет назад

Do you need to move from room to room by the pool only or not

@thetravelg 7 лет назад

looks cozy :)

@CyBorg627 2 года назад

I enjoy watching your Hotel reviews however I feel this review was a little click bait as this is most certainly not the BEST HOTEL IN THE WORLD.

@LisaAnn164 6 лет назад

I like the music played at 5:40. What is it? Who composed it? I would like to know.

@claytonpereira6804 8 лет назад

Hi, which month did you travel? Thank you

@luxurytravelexpert 8 лет назад

+Clayton Pereira Last April. Are you considering staying at the resort?

@claytonpereira6804 8 лет назад

+the Luxury Travel Expert Yes! I was hoping you would say April. Got my room not at Soneva Kiri but booked at the Six Senses Yao Noi in April.

@luxurytravelexpert 8 лет назад

That's a wonderful resort as well. I made a RU-vid clip of Six Senses Yao Noi that you can watch here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8sCivTBuook.html. Soneva Kiri is better though. Let me know if you change your mind (I can get you an upgrade :)

@claytonpereira6804 8 лет назад

+the Luxury Travel Expert Yes, thank you that was a beautiful video. I've signed up and just sent you a message on your website . Feel free to send me an email.

great,except for the water surrounding villa...its colour doesn't really make me feel like swimming

@achillesfury 6 лет назад

Watching this from 2018 looking back on 2015, perhaps a revisit is needed because it’s not convincing

@luxurytravelexpert 6 лет назад

You probably missed my clip of two weeks ago :) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wlTikecvCbc.html

@achillesfury 6 лет назад

much appreciated and thank you for all of your hard work. i was wondering if you have any Maldives resort insights on the cheap end

@bushyconn 9 лет назад

The rooms (suites) may be big, but it all seems a bit claustrophobic - until you get on to the beach.

@countalucard4226 9 лет назад

If I stayed there I would tell the owner "The joint is butiful don't change a ting"

@GoranBMWOverlander 7 лет назад

Poor video, bombastic title. I was here with family, one of the biggest disappointment ever. Flies, mosquitos, lousy furniture, hardly any decent view. The only thing worth mentioning is tree-top dining. Price? US$2,000 per night for 3 of us....what a rip off.

@cookie1970red 3 года назад

If i were looking for a resort to spend 2 wks at I would not even consider this place the restaurant having back to back seating very cheap construction or the buildings not the level of luxury.

@thehighwayvideos1419 8 лет назад

Or this an Island next to the Combodia

@redeye751 8 лет назад

@MarieLou3M 8 лет назад

Very nice but it seems like you're only doing sightseeing, no feelings like you're a tourist swimming in the pool or beach, what you're eating, staff doing entertainment at night, etc. Aren't you bored? Do you travel alone? Don't you have a wife or girlfriend? Thanks for sharing your luxurious travel videos. But still I find happiness in meeting other people though.

@KimmyQueen 8 лет назад

@lucyc3696 7 лет назад

@karlp8484 7 лет назад

This is no way anywhere near the best on the world resort. It actually looked pretty crap to me to be honest. And totally isolated. What a load of shit.

@luxurytravelexpert 7 лет назад

Having been to many ultraluxe hotels around the world, I can assure you that it ranks among the very finest. Of course, taste may differ from one person to another.

@2malizia 7 лет назад

May be it's not the best hotel in the world, but absolutely exact - one of the most memorable.

@LisaAnn164 6 лет назад

Karl P That is a very rude comment to make. Have you actually been there? How do YOU know? It's not right to make such a comment like that if you NEVER been there.

@jadequeen6714 6 лет назад

Karl P.....I fully agree!

@TrangleC 6 лет назад

As many other commenters, I too have to say that this doesn't look very attractive to me. It looks like a movie set from "Apocalypse Now", "The Island of Dr. Moreau" or some other "Jungle Hell" movie. I feel like I'm getting Malaria just from watching the video, hehe, or like I have to watch out for head hunters or "The Predator". The fact that the pools look dirty doesn't help either. Not even the beach looks good. Honestly, nothing about this says "luxury" to me. It looks like someone just nailed some driftwood together in a swampy lagoon and is now charging a lot of money from guests who don't dare say that the Emperor has no clothes on.

@luxurytravelexpert 7 лет назад

They paid nothing to write and publish that (I made the RU-vid clip and review as an independent guest). Well, my standards are quite high I guess (although tastes differ from person to person). Check my blog: www.luxtravelexpert.com

@jadequeen6714 6 лет назад

The Luxury Travel Expert......I don't mean to be rude, but if you name your channel 'The Luxury Travel Expert.', you need to raise your bar, because this resort is far from luxurious. Compare it to Bali's top resorts like The Bulgari, The Viceroy or Four Seasons, this Soneva Kiri place is a dump! In fact its down right creepy!
