    Review of Soneva Jani: theluxurytravelexpert.com/202...
    Located on an uninhabited five-island cluster in the Noonu Atoll, Soneva Jani features 51 enormous overwater pool villas that come with retractable roofs and water slides. The villas are spread along two jetties that curve into a 5.6 km (3,4 mi) magnificent lagoon of crystal clear waters. Known as Chapter One and Chapter Tow, both jetties are connected to the Maldives’ largest resort island, a tropical paradise fringed by pristine beaches and blanketed with lush tropical greenery.

      I wonder where the dirty water from the bathroom and from the toilet in these houses is poured? Or is there no bathroom and toilet there? I don't see any pipes coming out of the houses. And the water in the sea is salty, I don't believe they don't bathe with plain water after swimming in the sea. Where do they pee and shit? Where is the soapy water from the bathroom poured? I don't see any pipes. I don't see any wires either. I don't care about solar panels either. So there is no electricity in these houses.

    Being 70 years old, I will never see all these places, as I am on a fixed income. So these videos allow me to take numerous mental vacations. I do travel to Turkey to visit my son and my Turkish daughter in law. I wish my favorite “Luxury Travel Expert” would visit some of the tropical paradises in Turkey. I never knew they had such beautiful resorts there. We will be visiting Antalya. However, I would prefer visiting a resort area less crowded. Also a question I want to ask the “Luxury Travel Expert”? If you only had one place to pick to live, where would you go? Thank you so much for these beautiful videos. I share your videos all the time with my friends. Now they are subscribers, and take many mental vacations!

      The Russians are not the same society as the Western ones - this is quite obvious to the inhabitants of Central and Eastern Europe, but few in the West are aware of it. Moscow today is driven by a primitive nationalism, and the failure of the West to see this has brought Europe to the brink of a great war.
      It would probably be different if, after the collapse of the Soviet empire, an era of eternal peace had not been proclaimed and the West had not been mentally demobilized. Especially since the situation has clearly gone in the wrong direction since Putin took power. Of course, you might not have noticed it at first, but the West had 20 years to understand what Putin's real goal was. He himself did not hide it. Perhaps if we had better assimilated the historical memory of Hitler, the process of sobering up would not be so painful. In the West, however, there was a conviction that a second Hitler could not happen again. Another mistake, another spell of reality.

    This is really one of the top resorts. Luckily, there are also budget options for everyone in the Maldives. You can stay on local islands from 50 USD per night and will have the same weather, same ocean as anywhere else in the Maldives. We stayed with our two kids in Omadhoo and Feridhoo and had a great time.

    I just returned from a trip to Maldives. I flew Emirate’s business class and the round-trip ticket for me alone was just $4700 with added insurance that brought the ticket price to $5500 (including tax and business class lounge in JFK & DUBAI).
    When people think of Maldives, Soneva Fushi and Soneva Jani is what they imagine in their mind because those are the photos and videos that they’ve seen on Facebook and Instagram.
    The beaches in the Maldives are virtually all the same: you have white sand, clear water and marine life everywhere that you can record videos and pictures of.
    The real difference between the resorts is the level of service and the variety of food.
    Soneva Fushi and Soneva Jani cost between $1000 and $20,000 per night depending on the size of your villa.
    There are some resorts that are less expensive but these two are top-tier in Maldives.
    Perhaps even in the world - I’ve been to Seychelles but I haven’t been to Bora-Bora yet.
    I would say the smartest thing for couples to do is to come here for the weekend and just stay a night or two unless they get a really good rate and want to spend a longer time here. Once you’ve stayed here for a weekend you may start to get bored. You can return to Male and stay in a regular hotel while exploring the city.

    Hi XS. The images you create using mainly a ‘simple’ iPhone are stunning…the choice of music is top and the script you follow throughout the movie showing us this amazing resort is the best I have seen so far for Jani.
    Sonu & Eva can be proud of their ambassador!
    And how nice to see the family again after all these years, you are all lucky to have each other, the children have become serious teenagers ;-)
    I still favour Fushi over Jani because of the vegetation and the jungle feel, but it has been a real treat spending almost 2 hours enjoying this video.

      The Russians are not the same society as the Western ones - this is quite obvious to the inhabitants of Central and Eastern Europe, but few in the West are aware of it. Moscow today is driven by a primitive nationalism, and the failure of the West to see this has brought Europe to the brink of a great war.
      It would probably be different if, after the collapse of the Soviet empire, an era of eternal peace had not been proclaimed and the West had not been mentally demobilized. Especially since the situation has clearly gone in the wrong direction since Putin took power. Of course, you might not have noticed it at first, but the West had 20 years to understand what Putin's real goal was. He himself did not hide it. Perhaps if we had better assimilated the historical memory of Hitler, the process of sobering up would not be so painful. In the West, however, there was a conviction that a second Hitler could not happen again. Another mistake, another spell of reality.

Anyway, I'm definitely going to make some jelly fish hanging lights for my backyard deck--lol. And a 24/7 chocolate shop? I'd gain 10 pounds! Eggs bene at Soneva Jani and so much good food. I enjoyed the bicycle ride at the end--the last time I rode a bike was about 8 years ago on the way to Claude Monet's house in Giverny France! It will be interesting to see more of the Maldives in your upcoming video(s). Thank you for a very entertaining evening at the movies!

      I understand innocence, but I'm not talking about that. We live in New Zealand and we have more heart and an open mind than those older emincons in Russia. These are not people. They're red bastards. I am writing because I was very surprised by the regret that you can't be on a paradise island right now. The direction of thinking and feeling the situation is terrible. The very idea of aggression in 21st century Europe is insane. And the performance shows what kind of people live in Russia. I know Russian and I hear what these inhuman monsters say on you tube.
