What to Pack for Your Tropical Honeymoon
The wedding planning is over and your big day is coming quickly! Now all that’s left is the packing for the honeymoon. If Pina Coladas and sunscreen are in your future, you are in the right place. Here are some tips and advice on what to pack for your tropical honeymoon.
Bathing Suit(s)
This might go without saying but you would be surprised how many people wind up at the beach with nothing but a sand pale and a pair of flip flops. Ok, maybe not just that, but a bathing suit is something that you don’t want to forget to pack on a tropical honeymoon! Having at least two bathing suits is ideal as it will allow you to alternate day to day and you will never have to wear a wet bathing suit.
Shorts and T-Shirts
You will want to pack light weight outfits to wear while lounging around in your tropical destination. Cotton and linen are best. It is a good idea to choose which outfit will be your beach outfit and keep that away from the others so you have something sand and sunscreen free to change into.
Dresses and Skirts
While you may want to spend most of your time enjoying the beach, you still have to eat and since it’s your honeymoon a hot dog on the beach might not cut it. The trick here is to bring outfits that are versatile. A sun dress or skirt can easily be transformed from day on the beach to nice dinner out with the right accessories.
Lingerie and Sleepwear
Along with your traditional everyday lingerie, add in a few special items to wear during those romantic nights. It is your honeymoon after all! Be sure to also include any lingerie items that may be needed for your summery outfits, such as a strapless bra.
Shoes
During a tropical honeymoon flip flops are definitely a must! It would also be a good idea to pack a pair of comfortable sandals that you will be able to walk around in without having your feet get sore. If you are the athletic type, don’t forget your runners but if working out is not in your honeymoon plans a nice pair of flats might be the more practical choice of footwear to pack. A pair of water shoes is also a good idea to bring for those romantic walks on the beach, or walking through rocky waters.
Camera
You can’t go on a honeymoon and not bring a camera! You want to remember these memories forever and what better way to do that then with pictures. Capture all your tropical adventures and make a honeymoon photo book, you will love looking back on it in the years to come!
Sunscreen
Whenever you are traveling anywhere tropical, sunscreen is a must! The last thing you want is to ruin your honeymoon by getting sunburnt. Pack it now and don’t forget to apply, apply, apply!
Aloe Vera Gel
Trust me; you will thank me for this one! After a long day outside in the tropical sun and a few too many mojitos you will be running towards the aloe vera gel. This will be your honeymoon lifesaver!
Sun Hat
Hats can not only look great but they also protect you from the hot tropical sun. Don’t forget to pack your favourite beach hat for when you are basking in the sun!
A good book
What better way to relax then with a good book on the beach! After all the wedding excitement you will want some nice R&R. Bring your favourite book, pick a comfy spot on the beach and enjoy the tropical lifestyle!
