Oh, winter. It’s easy to love the season on those blue-sky, snowy days, or on those days when you’re more than content to stay inside and make delicious soup before curling up on the couch with a movie. But let’s be honest: if you live in a place where winter is extra cold — and seems to drag on and on — then there’s a chance that you’ll get over the chill pretty quickly. 

A winter sun vacation is the ideal way to get your dose of warmth and take a break from the winter chill. After all, who doesn’t love the idea of lying on a beach in the tropical warmth when everyone back home is shivering in gloves and scarves?

If you’re planning a winter getaway, then this page is for you. Below, we’ll run through some luggage essentials for your winter sun vacation. Escape the winter chill with our curated guide to the ultimate “Winter Sun Vacation Luggage Essentials”.

Sun Protection

You’ll ideally return home with a fresh tan that makes you stand out from the crowd. But keep in mind that you’ll be more susceptible to sun damage on a winter sun vacation. Why? Because it’ll have been a while since you were last in blazing sunshine. There’s sun in winter, but the UV rays are weaker, so stepping into the tropical sun will be like going from o – 60 instantly. Make sure you pack plenty of sun protection, as well as practice general sun safety tips, such as staying in the shade during the hottest part of the day.

Everyday Clothing

Most people refresh their summer wardrobe once spring rolls around. If you’re going on a winter sun vacation, then you’ll need to refresh a little earlier — and that’s no bad thing since you can normally bag some deals during the “low season.” Be sure to buy shorts, a comfortable shirt or two, and sandals. They’ll ensure that you can explore your chosen destination in comfort and style. And plus, it’ll mean you have some great clothes to wear once summer returns to your hometown, too.

Dressed to Impress

During winter, most people build their outfits around what’s warm, not stylish. But you’ll have to get out of that mindset if you’re going on vacation to a warm destination. After all, you’ll have a chance to impress each and every evening. A light dress will always work well, while you can also take a look at this year’s summer style trends and get a head start.

Comfortable, Breathable Footwear

There’ll be no need for heavy, warm winter boots when you’re on vacation. If you’re going somewhere extra warm, then choose light, comfortable, and breathable footwear — it’ll ensure you can explore while also looking after your feet.

A New Swimsuit 

Finally, now’s the perfect chance to invest in a great swimsuit. It’s easy to overlook this aspect of your luggage on the basis that “any swimsuit will do” but if you’re planning to spend all day at the beach/pool, then you may as well splash the cash and get one that looks and feels great.
