It can seem like such a chore being stranded on an island, trying to rebuild society with a bunch of cute & cuddly animals.
You probably need somewhere to relax from all that building you’re doing.
What you need is a special spot on your island to get away, a resort of sorts, if you will.
Well if you’re looking to design a resort area for your island, these ideas are sure to help. We’ve got spas, pools, and fancy beaches, all to help you take a load off and enjoy the tropical island life.
And here’s a beautiful example of how to use it in a relaxed setting.
Obviously, you’ll need some bamboo trees here to get started. And you’ll want to carefully place them to provide shade for your lounging guests.
Then you’d also want to chop some bamboo to craft bamboo floor lamps, and a bamboo shelf as well. There are many customization options here, but I think the light wood color goes best in this spa design.
Lastly, you’ll need to purchase a wood burning stove, a whirlpool bath, and some poolside bed. That way you have someplace to lie down and enjoy the summer breeze!
The most important part about making this beachside bar is finding the right location.
Select a nice place by the water, whether it’s the surrounding ocean or a nearby river.
You’d also want some den desks to create the bar area, and some rattan stools to sit on.
Also, try to buy some rattan chairs for the common area too, just to match the bar seats.
And the most important part of any beach scene is all the palm trees and coconuts.
While you can plant palm trees at your leisure, it’s the DIY recipes you can make from them that you’ll want to focus on.
Craft some palm tree lamps for some nighttime mood lighting, and throw in some coconut juice so you’ll have refreshments to pass around.

This idea particularly plays well facing out overlooking the open ocean as beachside deck from a hotel.
The rattan furniture is typical for these beach scenes, so be sure to buy some chairs and tables, as well as some poolside beds.
To create the deck flooring, you’ll need to make (or download) some custom designs. It’s worth the effort to truly capture the look of a hotel deck.
My favorite part with this design has to be the stall that holds an infused water dispenser and some coconut juice, both of which you’ll need to craft from fruits.
It’s the little details that make this lounge area worth building.
Have you seen any pictures of those pools that have no ground surrounding them?
Just a big glass box full of water – and yeah, they look amazing.
Well, this idea recreates one of those infinity pools (to the best of your ability) within New Horizons.
To build this yourself, you’ll want the typical resort decorations such as palm trees, palm tree lamps, coconut juice, and poolside chairs.
But I’m boring myself here.
The part you want to know about is the infinity pool itself. For that, you want to do some construction and sculpt so that the water runs off the backside of a cliff.
Then, surround the rest of the pool with floor lights so the nighttime pool party can begin.
This idea is simple, but gorgeous, which tends to be my favorite type of design!
Some jungle wallpaper and flooring is the first step to setting up this gorgeous, natural, indoor resort area.
Next you’ll need a bunch of stones to craft an outdoor bath… to place indoors.
And there are some small touches that I appreciate, like the wooden duck and leaf pile this player crafted. They really make this feel like an outdoor paradise!
