nce<br />
upon a time, luxuries were what the kings and the rich consumed: houses in the<br />
country, staff to serve, big cars, weekends in foreign lands, lavish delicacies to eat<br />
and drink, etc.<br />
But today, we live in a world where luxury experiences come in all sizes - small, medium, large<br />
and extra large. Today, an average person can walk down a road listening to better quality<br />
music than a king could have enjoyed centuries ago.<br />
Luxury is common.<br />
And thus, market for luxury goods have increased manifolds. This falls true for luxury resorts<br />
too. People travel abroad more than they travel in their own countries these days. Their<br />
definitions of luxury are being stretched higher and higher every day. But architects all over<br />
the world take this as a challenge and fulfil their expectations to the maxim.<br />
