hedonists
Devotees of indulgence
Hedonists are people who pursue pleasure as their primary aim in life.
The term derives from a Greek word for pleasure and can be used neutrally to describe followers of the philosophical position that pleasure is the highest good, but more often it carries a judgmental tone, suggesting someone excessively devoted to sensual gratification and self-indulgence.
The resort caters to hedonists seeking endless luxury and entertainment.
