Inside the guide
A month by the sea teaches you that most of what you own is unnecessary. The ideal wardrobe is small, natural, and easy to rinse in a villa sink.
Pack three linen shirts, two pairs of shorts, one elegant dress or linen suit for sunset dinners, a wide-brimmed hat, reef-safe sunscreen, and one pair of leather sandals. Add a good book, a notebook, and a waterproof phone pouch.
Leave room in your bag for the things you will collect: a piece of driftwood, a shell, and the addresses of people you meet along the way.
Planning notes
- Reserve signature stays and private experiences well before peak season.
- Leave room in the itinerary for slow mornings and spontaneous discoveries.
