What To Pack For A Spa Vacation

What To Pack For A Spa Vacation

By Jennifer Weis


Taking a spa vacation with your girlfriends? Taking a long personal getaway? Or joining your husband on his golf trip and heard the resort has a spa?

I am commonly asked what I pack for my spa vacations. My usual response is half the clothes and twice the cash. In all seriousness, I have devised a mini check list below. Ideally, I call the spa ahead of time to see what type of accommodations they have and if they have any recommendations on what to bring. (For example if they have a pool I bring extra swim suit. If the spa furnishes luxurious robes I leave mine at home.)

My Packing List


  • My travel purse, wallet and ID

  • Passport - if I am traveling internationally

  • Itinerary, Hotel Reservations/Telephone and Airline Flight Times/Transportation Information

  • Personal Care Items

  • Proper Clothing - I typically print out a forecast for the duration of my trip. If forecast calls for rain I pack an umbrella and/ or rain jacket.

  • Flip Flops/Sandals/Walking Shoes

  • Sunglasses,Sunscreen, lip balm (especially I am visiting a warm weather destination)

  • Camera - Charger, Camera Bag, Extra Battery, Film/Memory Card

  • Laptop and charger (better yet..leave it home if you can)

  • Mobile Phone and Charger (both home and car charger)

  • Bluetooth speaker, MP3 Player/iPod/Phone and Charger

  • Beach Towel

  • Bathing Suits (at least two)

  • Workout Gear and Shoes

  • A Good Book or MagazinesIf it is a true spa getaway I try to pack lightly. Less baggage equals less headaches. I tend to keep jewelry to a minimum and make sure I can mix and match my outfits using the same base colors so I can keep my shoes to a minimum.

    Calling ahead and using a checklist helps me stay organized and reduce my stress levels. I always hate the feeling I left something at home while I first start my trek. That is why I pack twice the cash. If I forget a small item I am not going to let it ruin my trip, I will just pick it up or live without it for a few days.

    Happy Spaing!
