Its popularity has increased as a means of promoting sustainable development and improving our overall well-being. However, advancements in technology have led to a disconnection from nature. To counteract this, it is essential to incorporate natural elements into our built environment to reap the benefits of nature. This research analyzed the impact of biophilic design on human health, productivity, and overall well-being in selected resort facilities through literature and case studies. A resort facility was designed using biophilic design principles and elements to enhance human wellness. The proposed resort facility included features such as natural lighting and ventilation, weather, plants, natural landscapes, ecosystems, and the existing natural water body on the site. The study concludes that biophilia is a vital aspect of the built environment and should be prioritized in design and construction.
