cabana boy

Beach hut helper

A cabana boy is a young man employed at a beach resort, pool club, or similar venue to attend to guests—setting up lounge chairs, fetching towels, bringing drinks.

The term carries connotations of youthful attractiveness and subservience, making it a stock figure in fantasies about tropical vacations and poolside leisure.

It sometimes appears in mildly suggestive contexts, playing on the idea of an attentive, good-looking servant catering to a guest's every whim.
