O<br />

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 />
