What to Wear in St Lucia
Creating the perfect St Lucia packing list can be a struggle. If you’re staying at a resort, you’ll likely need to dress up a little for dinner. If you’re planning to hit up the beaches, how many swimsuits are enough?
And what about if you want to go on excursions? Don’t worry! Because we have the perfect St Lucia packing list with all the details on what to wear in St Lucia.
The best part is, we have details on how to do this all carry-on only! Yes, Chris and I have been carry-on-only travellers since the beginning of our travels together, and between carry-on luggage and a small personal item-sized backpack, you can fit everything you need for a week in Saint Lucia!
Let’s dive into how to do it here!
Ultimate St Lucia Packing List
To break the list down further, we have it organized into sections like basics, what to pack for the beach, resort, hiking, toiletries, and more. Plus, we have both men’s and women’s packing lists, so keep reading for both!
Packing for St Lucia: Basics
Let’s kick off this packing list for St Lucia with basics. These are things like undergarments, shorts, sunglasses, etc. Basically, these are universal things you’ll likely need during your trip.
Women’s Basics For St Lucia:
- 2 regular bras (one strapless if planning to wear a strapless dress)
- 7 pairs of underwear
- 2 pairs of pyjamas
- 1 pair of sunglasses
- 1 dirty laundry bag
- 3 pairs of regular shorts (to wear around the resort during the day)
- 3 casual t-shirts (to wear around the resort during the day)
- 4 cute tops/crop tops/etc. (to wear around the resort during the day)
- 1 light rain jacket
Men’s Basics For St Lucia:
- 7 pairs of underwear
- 2 pairs of pyjamas
- 1 pair of sunglasses
- 1 dirty laundry bag
- 3 pairs of shorts (to wear around the resort during the day)
- 7 casual shirts (to wear around the resort during the day)
- 1 light rain jacket
Also, it is a good idea for everyone to pack some Body Glide to prevent chafing (if that is an issue for you). It works like a charm, especially to prevent chub rub on long hikes.
You also need to pack sunscreen. The Caribbean sun is no joke, and you will probably get burnt if you don’t lather up. Make sure to purchase some reef-safe sunscreen that’ll keep you and the coral reefs safe.
And for the evenings when the mosquitos are out, definitely pack Badger Balm. This stuff is fantastic at naturally warding off these pesky bugs without the chemicals.
St Lucia What to Pack For the Beaches/Pools:
When you’re on an island in the Caribbean surrounded by lovely water and beaches, chances are you’re going to go for a swim. Also, many resorts have multiple pools so you can cool off on those hot days.
Lastly, I highly recommend visiting Sulphur Springs and taking a dip in the water. For that, you’ll need your swimsuit as well.
Here is what to pack for St Lucia when it comes to getting in the water.
Women’s Packing List:
- 4 bathing suits
- 1 pair of flip flops
- 1 bathing suit cover-up
- Snorkel Gear
- Reef-safe sunscreen and bug repellent (listed above)
- 2 pairs of athletic shorts for exploring Sulphur Springs or as a cover-up
- 2 pairs of sweat-wicking shirts (to cover up with and/or for Sulphur Springs)
Men’s Packing List:
- 4 bathing suits
- 1 pair of flip-flops
- Snorkel Gear
- Reef-safe sunscreen and bug repellent (listed above)
- 7 casual shirts (listed above in basics)
I want to mention that if you plan to do the mud baths and soak at Sulphur Springs, you want to make sure you’re packing at least one older swimsuit that you don’t mind getting dirty. It should wash off in the springs, but just in case. Basically, if this is your St Lucia honeymoon, I wouldn’t wear a white swimsuit to the mud baths…
