If you've read much of my writing, you know I'm much more into practicality and function than luxury and appearance. Substance over style, I always say. But since I'm writing this from the balcony of a gorgeous mountain resort, I admit that fine amenities are not entirely off the wish list. Particularly as it contributes to serious rest, relaxation, and rejuvenation, a luxury vacation retreat can make you a more productive—and happier—erson all around.
