The ultimate beach-villa packing list

Beach villas do most of the work for you. Towels, snorkels and umbrellas are usually provided, so pack light and leave room for what matters.

The essentials

  • Reef-safe sunscreen — Many islands require it, and it protects the coral you came to see.
  • Rash vest — Better than sunscreen for long snorkelling sessions.
  • Dry bag — Keeps your phone and passport safe on boat trips.
  • Light layers — Air-conditioned restaurants and evening breezes can be cool.
Unpack once and live barefoot for the week.
