If you were to turn your backyard into your own personal resort - what amenities would you include?

What says 'backyard oasis' to you? A pool? fountain? sundial? play yard? What?

Favorite Answer

A hammock.
Some sort of water feature that will make a pleasant noise and give me a place to cool my feet.
Plants that attract hummingbirds, songbirds and butterflies.
A tree that provides soft lacy shade and another for dense shade.
A small bed of herbs for fragrance and to pick for teas, and a small table and two chairs for serving tea.
And a sandbox for my inner child.

no grass,maybe artificial turf, a water tube slide to the pool.a little open air cabana with mini- frig&grill.of course there has to be ambiance,so some tropical plants & flowers.no pool would be complete without a full size TV and audio system. OF COURSE NO PHONES!!
