Definition of Luxury
Don Corson

Merriam-Webster has this definition of Luxury:
1  : a condition of abundance or great ease and comfort : sumptuous environment
2a : something adding to pleasure or comfort but not absolutely necessary
 b : an indulgence in something that provides pleasure, satisfaction, or ease

I find this definition woefully incomplete, here is mine:

Luxury starts where you pass the gate to paradise…


Luxury is where the sun welcomes you in your room…


Luxury is where there is room for intimate spaces…


Luxury is where the table is always set…

Luxury is structures small enough that each individual is seen as a person…

Luxury is where there is good food and drink are individually prepared for you…


Luxury is a quiet and relaxing environment…


Luxury is where the sirens are smiling…

Luxury is where the pool is waiting for you…

Luxury is where life’s smaller desires are fulfilled without even being expressed…

Luxury is where the day can slowly start to end in beauty…

Luxury is where strangers become friends…

Luxury is where the cook goes to the market every day…

Luxury is eating as a big family (when desired) Mechoui lamb…

Luxury is good taste, on your plate and on the table…

Luxury is plant ripened berries in January (for those in the northern hemisphere at least)…

Luxury is when the next day starts in the same way as the last ended…
Luxury is the Riad des Golfs, Agadir, Morocco.

BTW: I wasn’t so sure in advance, it is winter in Morocco too, but in Agadir the temperatures were perfect over the New Years week.  Cold at night, but as soon as the sun comes up summer-like temperatures.  And we didn’t see a single cloud the whole week!

Hi Don, great you got to stay there. I throughly agree , this is a very suitable definition of luxury. North Africa is at its very best in mid winter , cool nights with warm days and good fresh local food. David

looks like a good time.

Hi Ming, Yes, Agadir has a great beach on the Atlantic and is particularly golfer friendly. As the name of the Riad says, Riad des Golfs, there are 3 golf courses within about 1/2 a mile of the hotel and several more in greater Agadir. Of course Agadir ha...
