Located in the [Maldives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/intercontinental-maldives), the Lily Beach Resort & Spa is the ultimate haven for people who want to relax, eat, sleep and wake up in the sea -- literally.

The sanctuary is considered to be the spa where visitors can slip into a deep relaxation and be pampered over water pavilions that come with a glass floor, exotic greenery and an endless breeze of the sea. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.4/10 - Popularity: 94% | Activity: 91% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Luxury Eco-resorts:** As consumers become more environmentally conscious, there is a growing demand for luxury resorts that prioritize sustainability and natural materials. - **All-inclusive Convenience:** The popularity of all-inclusive resorts is rising as travelers seek hassle-free experiences that include food, accommodation, and activities. - **Overwater Pavilions:** The trend of overwater pavilions in resorts offers a unique and luxurious experience for guests, with features such as glass floors and stunning ocean views. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Hospitality:** The hospitality industry can leverage the trend of luxury eco-resorts by incorporating sustainable practices and using natural materials in their designs. - **Travel and Tourism:** The travel and tourism industry can capitalize on the rising demand for all-inclusive resorts by offering convenient and hassle-free vacation packages. - **Spa and Wellness:** The spa and wellness industry can innovate by creating overwater pavilions that provide serene and rejuvenating experiences for customers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Tranquil Thai Retreats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zemi-beach-house.md) - [Ultimate Adults-Only Resorts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/margaritaville-island-reserve.md) - [Plant-Based Lifestyle Getaways](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/calabash-cove-resort.md) - [Adult-Targeted All-Inclusive Resorts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/almare-resort.md) - [Eco-Conscious Adult-Only Resorts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/secrets-bahia-mita-surf.md) - [Next-Gen Mexican Retreats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hilton-cancun-mar-caribe.md) - [Luxury Filipino Wellness Resorts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seda-lio-hotel-philippines.md) - [Luxurious Resort Getaways](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/address-beach-resort.md) - [Indulgent Tropical Sanctuaries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sls-baha-mar.md)
