lotus land
Place of indolence
Lotus land is a place of dreamy contentment and escape from reality, where one forgets all cares and responsibilities.
The term comes from Homer's Odyssey, where lotus-eaters consumed a plant that made them lose all desire to return home.
It often describes idyllic locales like Southern California or Hawaii, sometimes disparagingly: He's been living in lotus land, oblivious to his mounting debts.
