Tahiti Syndrome

From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference

Tahiti Syndrome is a 20th century expression used to describe a longing that is common in overpressured leaders for a remote, beautiful, and idyllic environment into which they could escape.

In 2268, Leonard McCoy likened James T. Kirk's initial reaction to Amerind to the Tahiti Syndrome. (TOS: "The Paradise Syndrome")
