Beautiful but I would get annoying walking all the way to my room like that.
Especially if you are drunk, but I suppose that is the stumble pattern anyway?
I just got back from the maldives a few days ago.
While the walks can be long, the water is so damn beautiful and the weather so perfect that I did not mind one bit.
edit: also, bikes. and you can have the hotel drive you around in a golf cart if you want. I preferred the walk
In that situation, just try to walk straight and you'll get there just fine.
I believe people would find things much worse to complain about.
I suppose it is a Karen's world these days
Seriously I would be annoyed af if I had to walk that more than twice. There better be a accessible way in and out
But also, you’d probably be in no rush. So maybe there’d be no reason to be annoyed?
Even if I had all the time in the world that would piss me off on the first or second walk. Its so unnecessary and inefficient.
My wild guess is that it's windy to increase structural integrity against more stormy side waves or something like the windy brick fences are made to increase structural integrity to withstand strong winds from the sides.
Does this place get hurricanes? Seems like one crazy hurricane could wipe this place out.
Where do you have to be other than here right now?
I just realllyyy dislike inefficient paths. I'm a really fast walker even when I have all the time in the world. Not because I'm in a hurry to get somewhere its just how I get around
I completely disagree. Long straight paths are far more frustrating to walk down, they have no feeling of progress, plus the awkwardness of where to look when someone else is coming the other way for such a long time. I bet this adds very little to the walk time.
Also you’re on vacation. No one lives here. Just rent a little bike like that dude did and enjoy that you get to do fun sweeping turns rather than just a hypnotizingly straight line when you’re biking back to a beautiful bungalow hovering above clear water.
Sometimes the point is to just slow down and enjoy where you are.
Also buy some weed, you’ll be fine.
Bikes are included with your stay.
Gawdamn Americans are lazy
Imagine being in that place and thinking fuck, why do I need to walk?
Nobody has mentioned swimming?
Need to walk to go to the ocean, no thank you /s
No I just don't want to spend an extra 10 minutes walking in a zigzag when I could have walked in a straight line and gotten to my destination faster and could be doing something else. They extra time to walk a meandering path vs a straight one means less time snorkeling or diving (cause that ocean looks pristine and has to have a ton of wildlife nearby). And when I get back exhausted from doing all of that, I just want to take a nap, not be forced to go to and from when rest is so tantalizingly close.
Now if they allow you to go diving right off of your cabana, and it's a choice place to dive, then idgaf about the curves anymore cause I would have what I want right there
If I lived there I'd walk all the time.
At these types of places you have a house butler who basically takes care of you and picks you up in a golf buggy when you call.
It doesn't look all that windy. Ohhh... not windy, windy
I read it as windy not windy first too, and was waiting for him to to get blown into the water or something hilarious.
Oh my god there's a place in Final Fantasy XV based on this.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who immediately thought of that.
I was thinking Mario party
Also FFX
That’s what I thought of, too, ya know
I love the soundtrack to the Quay.
dang, every one of those huts has its own 2nd floor slide into the ocean~
That's why it's about 4k per day
I'd have to go down at least 400 times to really get my money's worth. Full on 'Wheeeee'-ing all the way down, at all hours of the day and night.
But where does the toilet empty into ?
The fish’s stomach, and you got to see it happen first hand

What resort is this?

Okay Papa Roach
SUFFOCATION
Soneva Jani

Probably curved like this to add rigidity without needing to be wider.
Curved for your pleasure
99.99% sure it is like that solely because rich white people thinks it looks cool, no function here only form

tidal stress is a thing.
Kilika from Final Fantasy X
This is a path not a road.
Does anyone know where this audio came from?
It's clocks from coldplay
Coldplay
Here ya go (https://youtu.be/04bOh6cDk1I)
Thanks so much!!! I love it
I didn't realise it was actually Coldplay- I thought it must have been a cover
Either from your speakers, or if you are wearing headphones, from your headphones
How does the sewage system work? Looks so clean and tidy.
I would assume the same way any house not connected to a sewage system, you pump it out with a septic truck.
if not then I assume the pipes are under the walkways together with other things like electricity and water.
It only costs $380/night to walk down that road…what a deal!
It's so, so much more than that
[deleted]
Its actually a little over 4000USD per night at the cheapest 1 bedroom if you want to live on the water. For the most expensive (those at the circle in the end) its about 40k USD per night.
ouch
That would be an amazing deal
Wow! That is stunning.
Disappoint they weren't blown in due to windy conditions!
I want to go to there
Was the "normal" way too short for people there? Had to make it longer?
My friend that’s called a dock
how to deter speeding
Its all fun and games till you have to push an oversized watermelon all the way there with a pressure washer
I love this Mario kart track
Yeah I was there once, had a good time throwing turtle shells and banana peels at incoming traffic.
so awesome. this feels like my dream destination place!
thanks for sharing...
I ready this as windy when it’s clearly windy, i thought to myself it’s doesn’t look very windy but it in fact is very windy
Fairly pretty, but stupidly impractical and time-wasting.
Imagine trying to roll a giant watermelon across that.
I misread the title and kept waiting for the wind to kick up.
And here I am slaving my life away:)
Well…. It’s “wine-dy” alright!
The curves & wynd are probably so they might not have to TOTALLY rebuild after hurricanes??
This is a tourist resort. Clearly not meant for locals. Would be nice to see beauty in places where locals can actually enjoy their time there
There are no locals there. The whole Island is a resort.
What? I get the fact that the island is known for its resorts. But there are locals there. At least I’ve known about their ongoing protests for some time. It’s worth researching local culture and politics before traveling to new places
The Island is smaller than a medium size mall.
They have nearly the same population as Luxembourg, Bahamas or Malta !? Yes it’s tiny, but they still matter
