A useful packing list should support beach days, warm evenings and practical travel without duplicating what the villa already provides.

For the beach

Bring reliable sun protection, a hat, reusable water bottle, swimwear and footwear suited to the shore and walking route. A dry bag can help on boat and snorkelling days.

For the villa

Fresh bed linens and towels are prepared before arrival. The villa has a laundry machine and drying rack, so guests can pack lighter for longer stays.

For walking and evenings

Comfortable shoes are helpful for the route into town and for warmer roads or uneven surfaces. A light layer can be useful on boats or breezier evenings.

For activities

Qualified scuba or snorkelling operators normally explain what equipment is supplied. Bring certifications, prescriptions and specialist personal items that cannot easily be replaced.

Before departure

Check airline baggage rules, current weather, activity requirements and any seasonal beach arrangements. Leave valuable or irreplaceable items at home when they are not needed.
