LUXURY BEACH RESORT DESIGNTHESIS

Resorts have come a long way from the olden days when resort was a small and
modest in size and luxury. But the modern resorts are highly luxurious and offer the
latest amenities for enjoyment. Historically, the oldest resorts can be traced back to
the Roman empire ofnearly two thousand years ago. The ancient Romans created a
public leisure facility known as baths that could be used by both men and women
separately. Gradually the baths evolved from their modest structure to include more
extravagant facilities such as a gym, a library, restaurant, stores, lounge, tavern
and even a museum and a theater, these baths were utilized for health, recreation
and social enjoyment. The nineteenth century saw the development of exclusive
resort facilities offering more privacy to the visitors.
Soon afterwards, the concept of beach resorts became immensely popular. The sea
became a great place of recreation and beautiful beach resorts mushroomed all
over the world. Jungle resorts also became popular as the governments tired to
conserve the wildlife and organized tourism on such a way that is promoted
adventure tours to the wild, without harming the flora and fauna of the region.

The topic for design thesis is Beach Resort at Kerala. It requires a lot of creativity and at
same time a true sense of design. It is about creating a sense of place, with an earthy
surroundings and calm subtle environment. The design should be long lasting and highly
functional. Resort should be designed using natural and native materials which enhances the

 I want to design a beach resort because I have an interest in designing a
habitable space near a coastal region and a beach resort fulfills my goal.

Leisure involves both solitude and sociability, so the resort will be a place
for visiting a range of cultural and relapsing activities such as making your
own fishing net and a boat to go into sea, and port wine brewing or read

Set on a pristine strip of soft white sand that extends for
hundreds of yards into the pale blue lagoon, Bora Bora
Pearl Beach Resort & Spa's beachfront is like a shallow,
salt-water pool, perfect for floating and snorkeling with
ease. There's also a small fresh-water infinity pool
overlooking the beach, the resort's cluster of overwater
bungalows. With just 80 bungalows, the resort feels less
spread out - and yet there is ample room to roam amid
the garden paths that wind between well-spaced
bungalows back toward the exceptional Manea Spa.
