The ultimate beach-villa packing list
Reef-safe sunscreen, a dry bag and the one outfit you will wear every evening. Everything you need for a beach villa stay, and nothing you don’t.
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.
