What to Pack for a Beach Vacation: Your Ultimate Glam Guide
You’ve booked the beachside villa, stalked dreamy resort pics, and imagined the sunset reels you’ll post — but what’s going in your bag?
Let’s get one thing straight: a beach vacation is not the time to play it safe.
It’s time to feel confident, carefree, and completely in love with what you’re wearing.
At WomanLikeU, we’ve created a checklist of what to pack for a beach vacation that’s actually made for women like you — bold, body-positive, and not here for boring swimwear.
🩱 1. A Swimsuit That Hugs You Right
Let’s start with the hero piece. Whether it’s a quick dip or a full-day poolside chill, your swimsuit needs to feel supportive, flattering, and fabulous.
Must-Pack Styles from WomanLikeU:
✔ Ruched Monokini – Flatters the midsection and adds drama
✔ High-Waisted Bikini – Tummy-taming bottoms + supportive top
✔ Power Mesh One-Piece – Sculpted elegance with breathable mesh
Why it’s essential:
✅ You’ll wear it more than once — in water, under outfits, or styled for sunset shoots
✅ Our styles fit Indian curves, from M to 6XL
👚 2. Breezy Cover-Ups & Co-ords
Trust us — when you’re not swimming, you’ll still want to slay.
Pack 1-2 lightweight co-ord sets or oversized shirts that you can throw on for beach bars, brunches, or a quick stroll down the coast.
Top Picks:
-
Cotton-linen blend co-ords
-
Longline kaftans
-
Oversized cover-up shirts in neutral or tropical tones
Style Tip:
Layer your co-ord with gold jewelry, a woven tote, and flat sandals for effortless resort glam.
🧴 3. Skin & Sun Essentials
You're going to be glowing, but let’s keep it protected and polished.
Beach Beauty Must-Haves:
-
SPF 50 sunscreen (waterproof & reef-safe)
-
After-sun gel or hydrating mist
-
Tinted lip balm with SPF
-
Shimmer oil for that golden-hour body glow
Pro Tip: Pack a microfiber towel — quick-drying and takes up no space.
🕶️ 4. Accessories That Pull It All Together
Accessories = Instant outfit upgrade. They're light, versatile, and make your beach photos pop.
Don’t forget:
-
Wide-brim straw hat or bucket hat
-
Statement earrings or gold hoops
-
Oversized sunglasses
-
Beach tote or slouchy jute bag
-
Slides or waterproof sandals
Bonus: A waterproof phone pouch is a game-changer for pool selfies.
💄 5. Just Enough Glam
Even if you're going makeup-free most of the time, pack a few easy glow-ups:
-
Tinted moisturizer or BB cream
-
Mascara + brow gel
-
Cream blush or lip+cheek tint
-
Body mist or travel-size perfume
Because you're a whole vibe — and you should smell like one too.
