luxury resorts

Upscale vacation destinations

Luxury resorts are upscale vacation destinations offering premium accommodations, amenities, and services—typically including fine dining, spas, pools, and attentive staff.

The term implies exclusivity and high prices: They honeymooned at a luxury resort in the Maldives.

Marketing has diluted the phrase; not every property calling itself a luxury resort delivers on the promise.
