Taking yourself on a luxury retreat to a beautiful destination is different than going on a weekend trip with friends, so what you bring along will be different too. From the types of experiences you’ll have to the wardrobe expectations, there are a variety of factors to consider when packing your bag.


Nothing can take your vacation from relaxing and carefree to stressful than finding out that you don’t have what you need when you’re far away from home. Whether this is your first luxury getaway marking a major milestone or it’s just been a while since you’ve traveled, use this guide to help make you sure you’re ready for every occasion. 

Do Your Research

Every destination is different, so you will need to plan accordingly. In order to do that, you need to first research where you’re staying—including both the location itself and your accommodations. Once you’ve booked your luxury trip, some important questions you should find the answers to are: 

 

  • Does the place you’re staying have dress codes for certain events? - Typically, nice hotels require you to
    wear opaque cover-ups when walking through the grounds to the pool area. Another example is cruises,
    which typically have one night of fine dining that requires evening attire.

  • What kinds of activities are you going to be engaging in? - For example, if you’re staying at a resort and
    plan to spend most time by the pool, a nice hat and sunglasses are going to be a priority, whereas if you’re
    going on an Alaskan cruise, investing in a nice down jacket will be essential. Or, if you’re luxury glamping, you’re going to want to make sure you have warm pajamas and a cushioned air mattress.

  • What’s already provided to you? Do your accommodations provide toiletries, towels, and the like? - That’s
    one less thing you’ll have to pack. Many upscale accommodations provide their guests with high-quality
    products, so you typically don’t have to worry about drying out your hair or skin.

  • How long is the flight or travel requirement? - For long periods of travel, you’ll need to think more carefully
    about what you bring along in your carry on, especially when it comes to staying on top of your sleep.
    People often use CBD capsules, sleep masks, neck pillows, and noise-cancelling headphones to make
    long periods of travel more comfortable.


In addition to considering these factors, you should also think about the weather and the types of events or venues you’ll be attending.

Plan Your Wardrobe Thoughtfully

Once you have a general idea of what to expect on your trip, you can start making your packing list. On any luxury getaway, your wardrobe will be especially important. Here are some general packing guidelines to consider when planning what to wear on your vacation:

  • Pack an outfit for each day and each night. The last thing you want is to appear disheveled
    or carry the smell of an adventurous day with you to dinner. That’s why it’s important to pack
    enough clothes to have a fresh outfit for daytime excursions and nighttime outings. 

  • When in doubt, go with the black option. Black is a classic color for any garment,
    making it easy to appear elegant and refined, even if it doesn’t come with designer tags.

  • Don’t forget jewelry. One way to take any look to the next level is with some well-paired jewelry.
    Pack a few key pieces that you can wear with any outfit. You can also pack a statement necklace,
    nice watch, or eye-catching earrings for special events. 

  • Choose comfortable, versatile shoes. One of the most difficult things to get right when planning a travel
    wardrobe is the shoes. Not only do you need to choose a few pairs that can be mixed and matched with
    your different outfits, but you need to ensure they’re comfortable. After all, hobbling around a dining area
    or cocktail lounge is anything but elegant. 

  • Always bring something dressier than you would normally wear. There are few things worse than being
    underdressed. It might seem silly to overpack, especially when it comes to bringing along an evening
    gown or dinner jacket, but it’s a good backup plan just in case the occasion to wear it arises. 


You want to make the most of your luxury getaway, and you can do that with the right planning. Before you start packing, take your time going through these steps. That way you can ensure that you are comfortable, you don’t have to say no to any opportunities that come up, and you look your best throughout the entire trip. You’ll be thankful that you’ve covered all your bases and can focus on fully enjoying yourself.
