One of the many Planets of Hats where the theme of this entire planet is to enjoy yourself. This usually means sandy beaches, women (and possibly men, especially in modern works) in revealing outfits, Sex Tourism and an environment with libertine sexual attitudes and Everybody Has Lots of Sex. There will likely be escorts, courtesans for wealthy clients, Sexbots and extraterrestrial sex partners. Sex isn't necessarily the main attraction though, there's plenty of works meant for general audiences that feature pleasure planets with more, shall we say, "family friendly" attractions. As well, like any resort area, there are diversions like restaurants, casinos, theatres, fashion shops, and beauty parlors. Some pleasure planets even offer forbidden items and services, for the right price. Or you could just have a planet-sized Amusement Park, possibly owned by the Disney corporation or a lawyer-friendly substitute. This can also qualify for a planet that is "paradise", for which it's so good that no one would want to leave. If that is the case, then it may double as a Lotus Eater Planet. Expect either the Busman to take his Holiday here or a Forced Prize Fight to ensnare our heroes. If this planet gets angry when anyone tries to leave, it may be a Possessive Paradise. Compare and Contrast Paradise Planet, which doesn't necessarily have to have an industry based on relaxation or even a civilization at all. If you're looking for Treasure Planet, then you probably just hit a few different letters by accident. |

Lobo once landed on a similar planet. After a while he got bored so he hacked into the planet communication systems and sent a broadcast, declaring that within a short time he will start killing everyone in sight. He never did but the resulting hysteria created much more amusing violence than he could hope to himself. | |

The late-1970's Buck Rogers TV series had an episode titled "Vegas in Space". They re-used the sets and props from Carillon on Battlestar Galactica (1978) (the shows were made by the same people). | |

The third Spaceforce (2012) book is set on Fantasia, the galaxy's greatest 'theme world' - an asteroid enclosed in an atmosphere shell and terraformed into a series of themed islands. It's supposed to be wholesome and educational family entertainment, banning alcohol and drugs so it's ironic that it turns out to be the source of the galaxy's latest and most dangerous illegal recreational drug. | |

Sunless Skies: Carrillon inverts it, being more of a Misery Planet in a Misery Builds Character sort of way. You're supposed to go in and suffer to come out a better person, or at least a person with a better soul (going by what Devils judge is a better soul anyways). Magdalene's House of Small Comfort is a straighter example, in that it lets all those that visit get the staff to impersonate people they knew and/or loved in order to speak with them and get some closure at last, or at least have a pleasant chat of the sort you simply cannot have anymore. A house of comfort in a more literal sense. Worlebury-Juxta-Mare tries to be this, being an attempted replica of The Great British Seaside using the fundamentally strange elements available in the High Wilderness. It sort of works so long as you pretend everything is fine, that the beach really is a beach and the fish really are fish and the donkey rides really use donkeys, among other suspensions of disbelief necessary if you want to enjoy the place and de-stress rather than run away screaming. Langley Hall is a much straighter example (for a given value of planet at least), located right where one would need it the most: the horrendous, anarchic pit of thinning reality that is Eleutheria. There are enough accommodations for anyone that might drop by, and you're free to stay permanently if you don't ever want to face the freakish stuff outside again. It's a quieter sort of pleasure, what with it being a fancy Victorian mansion far bigger than the laws of distance would allow, but it's pleasurable nonetheless. Just don't leave too early, it has ways of making you return. |

The 1980 Flash Gordon movie had Princess Aura try to tempt Flash into joining her for a tryst on her personal pleasure moon, Cytherea. "Cytherean" is a somewhat archaic adjective describing matters concerning Aphrodite, namely sex and pleasure (hence the name of the moon). She has another planet/moon called Sybaria where she sneaks off to for affairs with her doctor. A servant girl tells Dale that many men died bringing the Gargle Blaster drink back from the Galaxy Of Pleasure. |

Battlestar Galactica The original Battlestar Galactica (1978) featured the casino resort world of Carillon, which turned out to be a way to keep the alien workers of the Green Rocks mines on the same planet supplied with Soylent Green foodstuffs, as well as the tourist liner Rising Star, a ship with casinos and hotel rooms where Viper pilots liked to go on leave. Battlestar Galactica (2003) had the resort ship, Cloud-9, where Galactica members were sent for R&R. (Before Gina blew it up, anyway). Also, before it got nuked, Scorpia was the resident "tourist resort economy" planet of the Twelve Colonies (if we can believe the fluff). |

Dungeons & Dragons has Shendilavri, the 570th layer of the Abyss and the realm of Malcanthet, Queen of the Succubi. Unlike most of that plane, the layer looks like a pastoral paradise of picturesque vineyards, gardens and marble mansions under an eternal sunset. Mortals lured to Shendilavri enjoy a life of decadence and luxury with their demonic paramours... until the mortals have been utterly corrupted by their vices, at which point the demons murder them and take their souls to the dungeons and torture chambers beneath the pleasure palaces. | |

Farscape. In "Scratch N Sniff", the crew of Moya are basically kicked off the ship by Pilot due to their constant bickering, so they take a sojourn on LoMo, called a pleasure planet in-universe. As usual, they manage to get in trouble thanks to the girls getting abducted so their body fluids can be harvested to make a drug. Or so John Crichton claims; he may be making up the whole story to convince Pilot that everyone didn't just get drunk and start a riot. Pilot decides the latter and throws them off the ship again, this time on a boring industrial planet. | |

Star Trek Star Trek: The Original Series "Shore Leave". The episode takes place on a planet where aliens went for amusement and the Enterprise crew found danger and weirdness. "The Man Trap" had a throwaway reference to "Wrigley's Pleasure Planet" by Crewman Darnell. The planet itself has quite on lot of speculation on Trek's Fetish Fuel Page. There has been Fan Fic suggesting that it's the same planet as Risa (from Star Trek: The Next Generation), during an unfortunate flirtation with corporate sponsorship. It is stated repeatedly in "Wolf in the Fold" that Argellius II is such a planet, at least as far as the women are concerned. McCoy describes the culture as completely hedonistic. Star Trek: The Next Generation The franchise firmly plants this trope in the planet Risa. Introduced in TNG and seen at least once in every spin off since (except, for obvious reasons, Star Trek: Voyager). The German word "Reise", which is pronounced exactly like Risa, means "journey;" in Spanish "risa" means "laughter." How it's portrayed varies considerably; other than the sandy beaches the main attraction is sex tourism, and this gets played as anything from a purely positive Free-Love Future to incredibly seedy depending on the episode. In the Extended Universe, the name of the Risian state is the "Risian Hedony," suggesting that their very system of government is founded around pleasure. Episode "Justice". The planet Rubicun III is a idealistic paradise with friendly and beautiful inhabitants until the crew discovers its hidden dangers. The Parallax colony on Shiralea VI seen as a holodeck program in "Cost Of Living" is a more child-friendly example where they have jugglers, mud baths and practice "Laughing Hour". Star Trek: Voyager. In "Prime Factors", such a planet hears of Voyager's fate and invites them to stay for some well-deserved relaxation. There's nothing sinister behind the offer, but they turn out to have technology that could get Voyager home a lot quicker. As their hedonistic culture prevents them understanding why the crew is so eager to leave, they refuse to share this technology. |

Lexx had a couple of pleasure ships in separate episodes - the Seles Pleasure Transport and the Luvliner. Neither of them quite lived up to expectations, and predictably both of them got trashed. Season 3 had the planet Water, which could have been a pleasure planet if it hadn't been constantly at war with its neighbor Fire. Astonishingly enough, during a lull in hostilities Stanley Tweedle actually managed to get laid there, for the only time in the entire series. | |

BattleTech A bit more like "Pleasure Empire," but the Magistracy of Canopus is notorious for its pleasure circuses, including but not limited to a variety of sexual fantasies, available for a price. Amusingly, they are also renowned as the premier medical experts of the setting, if not for having the most progressive human rights policies. The planet Kooken's Pleasure Pit, located in the Lyran Commonwealth, is pretty much devoted to sexual tourism. At least the big cities — because people actually want to live there without being harrassed, anything outside the cities are red zones off-limits to non-residents and tend to be a bit tamer. And before Kooken's, there existed Dustball, a casino and "pleasure" world. The Commonwealth set up Kooken's as a "pleasure planet" mostly to try and break the grip of the Malthus crime syndicate that ran Dustball. |

"The Mule": Kalgan, a luxury world which is a "producer of pleasure" and "seller of leisure". This semi-tropical planet has beaches, tamed jungles, and gorgeous cities full of people willing to sell anything at any price. The collapse of the Galactic Empire failed to end its vacation world status. Unusually for this trope, Kalgan manages to become a major political center, with the Mule choosing to start his galactic conquest from there. | |

But he's able to offer suggestions and advice that make it so efficient that all the work is done by a single Australian prisoner, and returns to his job reinvigorated all the same. | |

"Search by the Mule": Now that we revisit Kalgan, its status as a world of entertainment is expanded upon. Arkady goes to the theatre, the fashion shops, and the beauticians. As a planet of entertainment, Kalgan is known as "the gayest world in the galaxy." It made itself a galactic centre of entertainment two centuries before Hari Seldon, kept itself rich and fabulous during the fall of the Galactic Empire because there are always elites of any government that wish for luxury, and Kalgan provided them to everyone, until the rise of the Mule. In these decades since, it has struggled with an identity crisis; world of entertainment or capital of a military empire? | |

Red Dwarf Smegazine: One back-up strip depicted a planet named Gelfworld, a planet with a GELF population whose purpose is to give human tourists the vacation of their lifetime. Well, until the GELFs rebelled and made the planet unsuitable for tourists. | |

Warhammer 40,000 has Pleasure Worlds, also known as Paradise Worlds or Garden Words. They're usually places of retirement for Imperial nobles. Worlds actually devoted to nothing but pleasure and excess are Daemon Worlds under the dominion of the Chaos God Slaanesh (though even Pleasure Worlds can have Slaaneshi cults on them). | |

Doctor Who The planet Argolis in "The Leisure Hive". The only facility on the planet is the eponymous hive; a high-end resort attracting tourists from across the galaxy. In a subversion, that's because the rest of the planet is an irradiated wasteland after an interplanetary war. The planet Midnight, a planet made of beautiful gems and amazing sights, but deadly to anyone who touched its sunlight. Naturally, humanity built a resort there. And naturally for the Doctor, things go horribly wrong... |

The original Battlestar Galactica (1978) featured the casino resort world of Carillon, which turned out to be a way to keep the alien workers of the Green Rocks mines on the same planet supplied with Soylent Green foodstuffs, as well as the tourist liner Rising Star, a ship with casinos and hotel rooms where Viper pilots liked to go on leave. | |

Battlestar Galactica (2003) had the resort ship, Cloud-9, where Galactica members were sent for R&R. (Before Gina blew it up, anyway). Also, before it got nuked, Scorpia was the resident "tourist resort economy" planet of the Twelve Colonies (if we can believe the fluff). | |

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Ursa Minor Beta is a beach planet where, due to some diurnal anomaly, it is always late Saturday afternoon, right before the beach bars close. When the planet's tourism bureau ran an ad campaign with the slogan "When you are tired of Ursa Minor Beta, you are tired of life," the galactic suicide rate quadrupled overnight. Incidentally, the planet is home to the headquarters of the eponymous Guide. The fabulously beautiful planet of Bethselamin had the opposite problem - its government grew so concerned by the cumulative erosion effects of billions of tourist visitors, that they passed a law whereby any net imbalance between what you eat and what you excrete while visiting that world is surgically removed before you are allowed to leave. Thus, it is vitally important to get a receipt each time you go to the bathroom there. In the TV version we get to see what happens to somebody who forgot: his hand was amputated by power tools and replaced by a prosthetic. Magrathea will build planets specifically tailored for you. Want a planet made out of solid gold? What about one where everything's made of jello? The pebbles on the beaches are all precious jewels? Magrathea can build it. Eroticon VI is of course home to Eccentria Gallumbits, the famous triple-breasted whore whose erogenous zones are said to start four miles from her body. |

In Stellaris Conventional empires can designate planets as Resort Worlds, which get a hefty boost to habitability and increase your other colonies' immigration pull. The downside is you can't develop the world normally with conventional districts, it's all hotels and theme parks. Rogue Servitors turn their worlds into these when they build a lot of Organic Sanctuaries for their "Bio-Trophies," creating controlled environments where pampering robots will meet organics' every need and desire... save for self-determination. |

Star Trek: Voyager. In "Prime Factors", such a planet hears of Voyager's fate and invites them to stay for some well-deserved relaxation. There's nothing sinister behind the offer, but they turn out to have technology that could get Voyager home a lot quicker. As their hedonistic culture prevents them understanding why the crew is so eager to leave, they refuse to share this technology. | |

In issue 13 of The Transformers: More than Meets the Eye, the crew of the Lost Light unwinds from recent adventures by taking shore leave on the pleasure planet Hedonia, where everyone gets rowdily drunk (including teetotaler Ultra Magnus). In an attached short story, several characters discuss how such planets inevitably hide a dark secret of some sort beneath their pleasant exteriors: Lovetopia's signature beverages are actually made from people, Cuddlex is in thrall to a Religion of Evil, etcetera. Hedonia's secret turns out to be that they're the most well-connected arms dealers in the galaxy... so Rodimus takes the opportunity to upgrade the Lost Light with a brand new set of proton missile launchers before they leave. | |

The Strontium Dog RPG. Fargo III is a holiday world lush with vegetation. The entire economy is based on resorts and hotels, with the planetary population employed by them. Bles was a pleasure world in the former Olol'Bian Empire. It was completely given over to enjoyment and self-expression. Unfortunately the Purity Party took control of the Empire and sandblasted the entire world, turning it into a Desert Planet. |

Star Trek: The Next Generation The franchise firmly plants this trope in the planet Risa. Introduced in TNG and seen at least once in every spin off since (except, for obvious reasons, Star Trek: Voyager). The German word "Reise", which is pronounced exactly like Risa, means "journey;" in Spanish "risa" means "laughter." How it's portrayed varies considerably; other than the sandy beaches the main attraction is sex tourism, and this gets played as anything from a purely positive Free-Love Future to incredibly seedy depending on the episode. In the Extended Universe, the name of the Risian state is the "Risian Hedony," suggesting that their very system of government is founded around pleasure. Episode "Justice". The planet Rubicun III is a idealistic paradise with friendly and beautiful inhabitants until the crew discovers its hidden dangers. The Parallax colony on Shiralea VI seen as a holodeck program in "Cost Of Living" is a more child-friendly example where they have jugglers, mud baths and practice "Laughing Hour". |
