Eco Resort Packing Guide

Packing for an eco resort means bringing gear that protects the environment you are visiting, not just the usual swimsuits and sandals.

A few swaps keep chemicals off the reef and plastic out of the ocean, which is the whole point of choosing an eco stay.

  • Reef-safe sunscreen without harmful chemicals
  • A reusable water bottle for refills
  • Quick-dry clothing for humid climates
  • A reusable bag for shopping and beach days

Pack with the reef in mind and your eco resort trip protects the water, the wildlife and the locals who depend on both.
