There are some things in life whose probability of occurrence is next to none. Example, Salman Khan acting in a critically-acclaimed movie, the Indian football team playing in a FIFA World Cup, and me checking in at any of the properties I am about to show you. These resorts are straight out of a wealthy man's wildest dreams, and staying here for a night will take your entire month's salary. In short, I'm about to show the best resorts in the world.
