When packing for a few weeks in Spain during summer, think effortless, breathable, and versatile. Prioritise easy, lightweight pieces you can mix and match—flowy dresses, easy sarongs, relaxed linen sets, and comfortable sandals that can take you from beach days to sunset dinners. Hydration is key in the Spanish heat, so bring a reusable water bottle and wellness essentials to keep your energy steady. Light layers like a cotton shirt or airy scarf are perfect for breezy evenings or sun protection during long walks. Keep it simple, stay cool, and leave room for treasures you’ll find along the way. Let's explore the packing list:
1. Cotton Sarong + Swimmers: Lightweight and essential, a cotton sarong can act as a beach cover up, a scarf for cooler evenings, or styled as a top for those beach-to-bar moments. The ultimate seaside duo!
2. Marine Coconut (Hydration): Long days spent exploring, lazing in the sun, or sipping cocktails with friends, can zap your bodies electrolyte stores. Remain energetic and balanced throughout your trip, and make sure your natural electrolytes are in your luggage ~ sip daily.
3. Yay For Earth Face Lotion: We love a minimalist beauty routine when travelling, both for space and for convenience. The Yay For Earth Face Lotion is an all-rounder, great for nourishing after-sun, a beautiful daily moisturiser, and safe for the entire family. Add a face oil + body oil to your beauty arsenal and you're set for your travels.
4. Sculpt Set by House of Sculpt: Keep your movement routine while travelling, with easy-to-pack props and 15-mins of Pilates or Yoga per day. Embrace the scenery and take your exercise to the deck, balcony, or beach. Explore 5 ways to prioritise movement while travelling here.
5. Light Layers: Even in summer, Spain can get cold in the evenings. Depending on what part of Spain you're in, you'll want a light layer or two as the sun drops. Think cotton shirts, cardigans, and scarfs for ease.
6. Activewear: Plan a hike, or walk the streets of a morning. Make sure you have comfy clothes to immerse yourself amongst the scenery.
7. Structured Tote: Take your tote from carry-on, to beach, to bar. Nothing ticks this box more than the eco tote.
8. Packable Hat: While we love the idea of a cool wide-brimmed hat for the Spanish sun, reality is it's hard to pack and travel with. We love a versatile cap or bucket hat for long beach days.
9. Silk Sarong + Maxi Skirt: A silk sarong that doubles as a top is the easiest way to transform a maxi skirt from day to night. Just add your favourite sandals, and a lipstick, for fun sunsets that turn to long evenings.
10. Good Book: You'll need a good book to enjoy seaside, or while overlooking the view from your AirBnb. Pack a few, because if you're anything like us on holidays you can't help but melt the mind into a great story.
