You may be too busy to fly off to the Caribbean for a holiday away from the city, you can still enjoy resort-style relaxation in your own home. Here are four real-life examples from which you can draw some inspiration.
Oceanfront (condo)
Being located in Sentosa already lends this home a somewhat resort-like feel. Its interior design, whose main components are wooden floors and walls in simple earth tones, complements this aspect of the house.
The wood elements in the bathroom are balanced with mosaic tiles, while the bedding and tatami-style mats on the bedroom floor, coupled with wooden lattice doors that resemble the traditional shoji (sliding doors made from wood and translucent washi paper), evoke a Japanese Zen ambience.

Floor-to-ceiling curtains, along with bedlinen in earthy colours, complete the look.
