Packing Guides
Expert packing guides for luxury travelers. Capsule wardrobe strategies, luggage recommendations, and destination-specific style tips for every trip type.
How to use these packing guides
Each guide covers one kind of trip: beach and island escapes, European summers, city travel, alpine winters, resort evenings, yacht weekends, desert and remote stays, couples' travel and the airport day itself. They focus on what to bring for the conditions and settings you will meet, so you pack fewer things that work harder.
Use them as a starting point, then adjust for your dates, the weather forecast closer to departure and the dress codes of the hotels and restaurants you have booked.
Three checks before you close the case
Confirm your airline's cabin and checked baggage allowances, including weight limits on smaller regional and seaplane flights, which are often much lower than long-haul limits. Check any restrictions on liquids and spare batteries. Make sure passports, visas and any required health documents are valid for your whole trip, using official government sources.
For combined trips, such as a city followed by a beach or a safari followed by an island, pack layers and one pair of shoes that works in both settings, and look for hotels that offer laundry so you can travel lighter.

Questions
Do luxury hotels provide toiletries and robes?
Most do, along with hair dryers and slippers. Check the hotel's own website if you rely on anything specific.
