Ultimate All-inclusive Resort Packing List

I a travel writer who’s spent multiple vacations at this jot down of hotel have you covered.

For instance, men might need to wear collared shirts or long pants to dinner.

Here’s what we suggest.

Andie The Amalfi

It has adjustable straps and a built-in bra that offers decent support, even if you remove the padding.

This swimsuit runs true to size and comes in multiple torso lengths and back coverage options.

We found it comfortable to wear dry or wet, and it air-dried remarkably fast after taking a dip.

The slip-on style features adjustable spaghetti straps, allowing you to customize how low-cut the neckline is.

This maxi is just the thing.

The easy-breezy design is soft and stretchy with a rounded V-neck and a swishy A-line skirt.

Best Fancy Dress

Aje.

We like this one from Aje, with its fitted bodice and midi-length, flouncy layered skirt.

It has a put-together aesthetic while still being comfortable and appropriate for warm weather.

But that’s not the only thing I love about Everlane’s Easy Short.

you might wear this shirt with shorts, a sarong, a crochet maxi dress, or flowy pants.

We appreciated the versatility of the swimsuit-shorts hybrid and were impressed with the high-quality materials.

These trunks also have a small zipper pocket for stashing a room key, cash, or cards.

Extra points for the zippered pockets.

Best Tank

J.Crew Broken-in Tank Top

Our favorite tank for guys comes from J.Crew.

Everlane The Linen Easy Short

It’s prewashed and garmented-dyed for immediate softness and a lived-in look and feel.

The cotton weave gives it a light, airy feel you’ll appreciate in hot, humid weather.

If so, we recommend this pair from Tommy Bahama.

Rails Cito Linen Blend Shirt

Here are a few versatile footwear suggestions for your stay, including closed-toe styles for women and men.

We found these thong-style sandals exceptionally comfortable and supportive, thanks to the cushioned footbeds.

They’re a stellar choice for the pool, as the high-traction outsoles help prevent slips.

Vuori Banks Short

We also love how the adjustable straps offer a custom fit, which is rare with flip-flops.

We like this pair from Naturalizer, which provides arch support with contoured footbeds.

These sandals also have an antimicrobial lining to help keep sweat-causing odors at bay.

Not only that, but the suede held up well with ongoing wear.

With mesh uppers and drainage holes on the soles, they also dry extremely fast.

Adidas Comfort Flip-Flops

This Adidas pair stood out among all the men’s flip-flops we tested.

The sandals are lightweight without being flimsy.

Ecco Men’s Cozmo 2.0 Two Band Slide

We also like the Ecco Cozmo Sandal.

We suggest this versatile pair from OluKai.

These handwoven leather shoes are casual yet put-together enough for eating a nice meal.

The mesh uppers dry quickly, and the grippy outsoles keep you steady on slick surfaces.

The right accessories are crucial for resort vacations.

We like the Compakt Tote Bag from Calpak.

What’s more, it folds up into itself for easy packing and storage.

Meanwhile, the wide brim and UPF-30 material safeguard your face and neck from the sun’s damaging rays.

This lifeguard-inspired hat has an extra-wide brim that shades your face, neck, and shoulders from the sun.

This one boasts a universal fit that works with virtually all smartphones, with or without a case.

The lightweight design packs easily, while the teacup shape complements a wide range of outfits.

I also appreciate that the scratch-resistant lenses provide 100-percent UV protection.

And the polarized lenses are easy on the eyes while making vacation views a little bit better.

The sheer mineral formula absorbed quickly and didn’t transfer at all onto clothes or towels.

Lululemon Bowline Short 5" Stretch Cotton VersaTwill Shorts

Suitable for sensitive skin, this sunscreen can be applied to your face and body.

And the three-ounce tube is TSA-approved forcarry-on liquids.

This eight-pack provides a reliable grip, even on the windiest days.

J.Crew Broken-in Tank Top

The clips can also double as clothes pins for drying wet swimsuits or sink laundry on aportable clothesline.

We tested this ThermoFlask option, and the double-walled insulation kept the temperature steady for several hours.

It has a compact filter that protects against bacteria, parasites, silt, sand, and cloudiness.
