1. Swimwear (at least 2–3 sets)
One swimsuit is never enough. Between drying time, sunscreen stains and different activities, it’s smart to pack:
- 2–3 swimsuits – ideally a mix of:
- one comfy set for swimming and activities
- one more chic set for beach clubs & photos
- one one-piece or high-waist option if you want extra coverage
- one comfy set for swimming and activities
2. Cover-ups and light clothing
You’ll spend a lot of time walking between the hotel, beach and restaurants, so pack a few easy pieces you can throw on over your swimsuit:
- 1–2 beach cover-ups – kaftan, shirt dress, kimono or pareo
- Light shorts or linen trousers
- 2–3 airy tops or tank tops
- One simple dress for dinners or evening walks
3. Footwear
You don’t need your whole shoe collection – just the essentials:

- Sunglasses with UV protection
5. Beach bag and accessories
A good beach bag makes life a lot easier:

Instead of taking your entire bathroom, think in travel sizes:

- Shower gel
- Hydrating face cream
- Light body lotion or dry oil
- Micellar water + cotton pads
- Deodorant
- A tiny makeup kit: mascara, bronzer or blush, tinted lip balm, small eyeshadow palette

Not glamorous, but absolutely essential:
- ID card or passport
- Bank cards + some cash in local currency
- Booking confirmations (printed or on your phone)
- Phone + charger
- Power bank
- Headphones or earbuds
8. Small but important extras
These little things can make your beach days much more comfortable:
