Calmcation Packing List: Relaxing Getaways

Hey, travel fam! I’m Mia, and I’m all about those chill vibes lately. If you’re craving a “calmcation”—a relaxing getaway to unwind and recharge—this post is for you. Think yoga retreats, beach escapes, or cozy cabin weekends.

I’ve put together the ultimate packing list to keep your trip stress-free, and I’m packing it all in my trusty Luux Bags Roller Edition—perfect for rolling through the airport with ease. Let’s get you ready for some serious R&R!

1. Comfy Basics for Lounging

Start with soft, breathable clothes you can live in. Pack 3-4 loose tees or tanks in neutral tones (white, beige, or sage green are my go-tos) and a pair of flowy joggers or leggings. I love linen or cotton blends—they’re perfect for staying cool while you sip coffee on a balcony. Roll them up to save space in your Luux Bags Roller Edition.

2. A Cozy Layer for Chilly Evenings

Even on a beach calmcation, evenings can get cool. Bring a lightweight cardigan or a denim jacket that pairs with everything. I always pack my oversized knit sweater—it’s like a hug in clothing form. Toss it in your duff bag’s side pocket for easy access when the sun goes down.

3. Swimwear and a Cover-Up

If your calmcation involves a beach or a hot spring, you’ll need swimwear. Pack two swimsuits (one to wear, one to dry) in fun colors—think coral or teal to match the vibe. A breezy cover-up dress is a must for going from the water to a cafe without a full outfit change. These fit perfectly in the main compartment of your duff bag, and you can keep your toiletries in the free Luux Bags Cosmetic Satchel that comes with your purchase—water-resistant and super handy!

4. Self-Care Essentials

Calmcations are all about pampering yourself. Pack a small toiletry bag with your faves: a hydrating face mask, lavender essential oil for relaxation, and a good lip balm. I also bring a mini journal to jot down thoughts during sunrise yoga. The Luux Bags Cosmetic Satchel is perfect for keeping these organized and leak-proof.

5. A Good Book or E-Reader

Nothing says relaxation like getting lost in a good story. Pack a paperback (I’m loving rom-coms lately) or an e-reader if you want to save space. Slip it into the outer pocket of your duff bag so you can grab it during a lazy afternoon by the pool.

6. Versatile Footwear

Keep it simple with two pairs of shoes: comfy sandals for daytime (think strappy flats) and sneakers for morning walks or light hikes. Neutral colors like tan or white go with everything. Your duff bag has enough room to tuck these in without squishing your clothes.

7. Tech for Unplugging (Yes, Really!)

I know, calmcations are about disconnecting, but a few tech items help you relax. Pack noise-canceling earbuds for a guided meditation or chill playlist, plus a portable charger to keep your phone alive for pics (you’ll want those sunset shots!). Stash them in your duff bag’s side pocket for quick access. Oh, and for those long flights to your calmcation spot, I swear by the Skyhigh Travel Neck Support Pillow—it’s a game-changer for napping on the plane.

8. A Reusable Water Bottle and Snacks

Staying hydrated is key to feeling your best. Bring a sleek reusable water bottle (bonus points if it’s insulated for cold drinks). Toss in some healthy snacks like nuts or granola bars for when you’re lounging. These fit easily in your duff bag without taking up much space.

Why a Calmcation?

Calmcations are trending in 2025 because we all need a break from the hustle. They’re about slowing down, breathing deep, and coming back refreshed. With this packing list, you’ll have everything you need to relax—without overpacking.
