Embarking on a magical journey to Spain and sharing all the essentials I packed for our adventure!
Hello there, lovely friends! I hope you’re having a fantastic week so far. The kids and I are off to a base event, and I’m eagerly anticipating a hot yoga session later today.
While I’ll provide a detailed recap of our unforgettable trip to Spain next week, I couldn’t wait to share my packing list with you all today!
Ultimate Spain Summer Packing List
Wear on the way there and back:
(I managed to do a few loads of laundry while we were staying at the Airbnb)
Spanx Air essentials set. Perfect for keeping warm on the plane and comfortable enough to snooze in.
Dresses:
My strategy with travel dresses was to bring short ones that I could pair with sneakers for daytime outings, and then switch to dressy sandals for evening dinners. I also included a couple of dresses specifically for dinner events. The dress code in Spain is quite casual, so everything from skirts to shorts with sandals and sneakers worked seamlessly.
Daytime dresses:
Floral mini dress (adorable with white Vejas)
A Maeve short sleeve collared mini shirt dress (out of stock currently)
Hutch mini shirt dress (size down)
Derek Lam flutter sleeve dress
An old Madewell short floral dress
Dinner dresses:
Farm Rio ocean tapestry dress. Simply stunning, fits true to size, and currently on sale.
Embroidered Farm Rio dress. Exquisite details and definitely worth the splurge. Also on sale right now!
Red dress from RTR, perfect for a flamenco night 😉
Tops, skirts, and shorts:
I also packed a pair of jean shorts with an embroidered top though I didn’t end up wearing it
Workout gear:
Had to pack some workout essentials in case I had the chance to squeeze in a session at the Airbnb or go paddleboarding
Vuori tank and shorts (2 sets)
1 pair of lulu leggings and an Align tank
Swim:
Brought my favorite Vuori bikini paired with jean shorts, a stylish coverup, and a trendy visor
Shoes:
Vivobarefoots (just in case for a quick workout – stayed in the suitcase)
Extras:
Special mention to our beloved suitcases – affordable, spacious, and top-notch quality. We swear by these from Nordstrom Rack.
Handbags – I carried my Gucci camera bag, a leather crossbody from Italy last summer, and a super affordable Amazon find for evenings out. Impressed by the quality!
Travel pillow! A side sleeper’s dream, made my plane journey a breeze
Melatonin. Tried and tested for a restful sleep on the plane, truly a game-changer for resetting the circadian rhythm. Use FITNESSISTA10 here.
Must-have toiletries, including Oliveda face cream, eye care essentials, tinted SPF, and makeup
Stay tuned for a future post on the quirky items I bring on vacation 😉
