The abandoned resort left to die in The Maldives

- Whilst on retreat in The Maldives my surfers and I managed to convince our boat guides to take us on a tour of a mysterious and intriguing abandoned island.
The foundations of this place lay quiet in the peaceful atoll just begging for someone with a tonne of capital and know-how to turn it into the paradise it should have been. Know anyone?

Damn, killer place there. Maybe someone will see your video and buy and finish it as an ultimate surf resort!
It's 2023. There's no gold opportunity laying somewhere not picked up. If this project is in this state there's a very very good reason why no one has picked up yet.
@@kreutzere it's likely just a legal matter. Just hypothesising, but if the politician has financed the construction with embezzled money it could be just a matter of returning those 2 years worth of construction material. In other abandoned projects state laws only required backlog of owed taxes to be paid to allow the property to be sold. Opportunity lurks everywere even in 2023 but my guess is that there are laws in place that regulate a minimal investment amount for a property like this and coupled with the amount of cleaning up necessary as well as the remoteness one would need a good amount of capital to turn this around, on the tune of 12 to 16 million US$.
Good shots and topic Kale. Strays away form your normal content but I LOVE it. You have a lot of travel experience. I suggest you do one of these interesting geographical videos anytime you travel 😎
3:00 The death by poison caught me off guard, sooo funny 😂😂
Lol me too
What an opportunity that could be Kale’s Resort!
😍
Kale love your light hearted energy keep up the great work 🙏🏻🌊🏄🏽
This is the resort which was to have been named J Resort Raalhuveli. Strangely, it still appears on a number of travel websites as if it actually opened. There is another abandoned resort North East of Ayada on an island named Lonudhuahuttaa which is even more derelict than the resort that Kale visited.
*What a dream! 🔥Maldives for the win **5:55** if that car was a toyota it would still be running*
😂 🚗
Wow, what a place! Hows the board colab going? Looking forward to seeing how it turns out
Wow that was some decent surf that could be a surfers dream escape place what a bummer I wish I had the money to go all in
Dude there are people living there. The definition of abandoned centers around you doing whatever you like there without a tour guide.
Anything left abandoned, neglected will look the same. Unfinished projects, vehicles left out to rust in the open. Background and location is still amazing..
Go for it! You could get your own segment on HGTV! After all it's only money (LOL)! 🤙🏄♂
@Kalebrock you sure definitely come through to Durban South Africa 🇿🇦
And do a surf tour if you are interested
Big fan from Maldives bro
That’s so sad! @kalebrock should put a offer in 🙃😉 could be the surfers road map resort 😁👍
😍
It is beautiful there
Why this place is abandoned?
lmaaooo the mojito and mosquito made me laughhhh
Incredible..
Kale Brock keep up the insane content when your in Australia can you please say the beach your ag
yeah nahhhh
Sorry can’t do
What's ag?
I wonder why it’s abandoned.. surely someone would just buy it and finish the project haha
They were probably convinced the oceans were going to rise, the Maldives were going to be imminently under water and their investment was a write off. Twelve years later and the only part that’s real is their investment is a right off, but for all the wrong reasons. What a terrible shame for tourism, the local economy, the local community and the environment that’s now coping with the rotting waste of lost opportunity.
In recent times an average of three inhabited islands in the Maldives have been abandoned each year due to the combination of rising sea levels and coral bleaching - as the dead reefs disintegrate they no longer stop large swells and storms from eroding the islands. Unfortunately many governments, corporations and a great many individual citizens around the world are ignorant that the future has arrived or just carry on as either gleeful or reluctant hedonists because they are simply content to be the lucky ones (for now!).
Political reasons 😂 While the Maldives is a relatively good place to surf, it is a horrific country in terms of corruption and human rights. To be honest, having been to Pasta Point several times, it is boring as hell for your other half with its one dimensional landscape and nothing to do other than go in the sea or read a book. There are many, many better places to visit.
Yeah Tourists normally should ignore that part hehe
Talk about human rights in the channel of an Australian 😂
Than why the F you landed here? grow up dude.
Then the locals that have now taken up residence will turn it into a total shit hole with all their rubbish.
Someone could finish it maybe? I don't know.
Kinda Star Treky moment…
Sorry Kale, I normally love your videos, but is mocking the accent really necessary?
Hey don’t mock my Spanish accent been working on it for ages with my cameraman who is Argentinian
Se puede ir allí Pablo Iglesias, es que se quiere ir de España,ese es buen sitio para el
Lol
should go to.jail and laws made about fast money monkeys. this is a crime
At
Jeffrey Epstein would have loved this place
Under water by the end of the century...
