sybarites
Lovers of luxury
Sybarites are people devoted to luxury and sensual pleasure.
The word comes from Sybaris, an ancient Greek city whose inhabitants were legendary for their soft, indulgent living.
A sybarite savors fine food, comfortable surroundings, and physical ease: The spa catered to sybarites who expected Egyptian cotton and champagne on arrival.
The term carries a note of criticism—sybarites prioritize comfort over virtue or discipline.
