sybaritic
Devoted to indulgence
Sybaritic describes a love of luxury and sensual pleasure: a sybaritic lifestyle of fine wines and silk sheets.
The word comes from Sybaris, an ancient Greek city whose inhabitants were legendary for their indulgence.
Someone sybaritic isn't merely comfortable—they actively pursue pleasure and refinement, often to excess.
