ABSTRACT: Accommodating such a feature, especially a therapeutic one, will be something fresh and will
give a new variety in hotel selections for tourists. In this sense ,therapeutic means to relax in a way most
beneficial to your health and for that to happen, there should be an effective synergy between the hotel,
the resort, the amenities and of course, the natural surroundings in order to create an environment
conducive to not just relieving stress but also keeping your body in perfect rhythm .In order to create a
distinct hotel and resort that will captivate the user’s attention and cater to their health needs. That being

NEW APPROACHES IN ARCHITECTURE:

A deeper approach of contemporary architecture to nature sometimes
conceals the achievements of the past. Vernacular architecture is, by its definition,
aim and structure, the most integrated architectural form in communion with the
environment. Two important traces of vernacular architecture can be resources for
contemporary architecture: the deep respect and perfect communion with the natural
environment the perfect relation and understanding of users needs.
