The Bright Diamond Oasis

If you have a penchant for pink and pastel hues, then I have just the place for you - The Bright Diamond Oasis.

Look and feel

The overall aesthetic of Bright Diamond Oasis is a direct reflection of Moon's store, Lollipop, which resembles the quirky Japanese or Korean-themed shops often found in shopping malls, replete with kitty bathmats, delicate porcelain bunnies, and playful penguin bags.

This bright, colourful, and undeniably feminine ethos permeates every corner of the resort. As Moon explained to me, "I wanted to create a space where I could relax. My store features a lot of pinks to create a cheerful atmosphere. However, to cater to all types of people, I've also included a darker area that offers a different, more calming ambience."

Navigating the resort is simple, with teleporters connecting the various areas. However, for a more immersive experience, visitors are encouraged to explore on foot or by using the teegle horse rezzer located near the landing point.

The Motel

Accommodations at Bright Diamond Oasis come in two forms: a complimentary Motel and private, zodiac-themed skyboxes.

The Motel, housed in an Astralia build, boasts six compact rooms, each with a unique pink-themed design featuring bed brands such as Cumming Soon, Naughty Pleasures, and Ruckus. While the Motel lacks privacy, the rooms are inviting, and the furniture is good quality.

The skyboxes are priced at 99L per hour for those seeking a more secluded retreat.

Finally, though it’s outside the scope of this website, there are also long-term rentals.

Facilities

The resort's facilities are plentiful, particularly in the vicinity of the Motel. Guests can enjoy a dip in the heart-shaped pool, complete with floaters, or opt for the larger pool featuring a water slide.

A beach and the cute paradiso bar provide additional spaces to unwind, while a Barbie-themed boat is floating just offshore.

The resort is moderate, though some of the themes and the rooms are very adult

Overall

Bright Diamond Oasis is a testament to Moon's vision - "When I joined SL, I dreamed of having a place like this someday. I wanted to share my idea with everyone, which is why it's affordable and free. I want everyone to have fun here,"

With its vibrant atmosphere, diverse themes, and affordable accommodations, Moon has undoubtedly brought her dream to life, creating a virtual oasis that is well worth a visit. Recommended.
