What to Pack for a Tropical Island Holiday
A light, practical list for hot, humid days
Tropical heat rewards a light bag. Pack less than you think, and choose things that dry quickly.
Clothes
- Loose linen or cotton clothing
- Two swimsuits, so one can always be drying
- A light long-sleeved layer for sun and evenings
- Something respectful for visiting temples or churches
Sun and sea
- Reef-safe sunscreen and a wide-brimmed hat
- Polarised sunglasses
- Reef shoes for rocky beaches
- A rash guard for long snorkels
Health and practical
- Insect repellent
- A small first-aid kit and any personal medication
- A refillable water bottle
- A dry bag for boat trips
- A universal plug adaptor
Leave at home
Heavy denim, too many shoes and anything that needs ironing. You will live in sandals.
