How it's used
Often used to describe geographical locations or physical traits that seem to have received an unfair share of nature's gifts. It carries a slightly formal or literary tone, so it is more common in descriptive writing or formal speech than in casual banter. When applied to people, it implies an innate talent or physical beauty that was not earned through effort.
Examples
He was born handsome, he is truly blessed with natural advantages.
The climate is so good here, would you say it is blessed with natural advantages?
