When it comes to packing for a luxury vacation, there are a few things to consider to ensure you have everything you need. Whether you're planning a trip to a tropical resort or a city break in Europe, here are some tips and tricks to help you pack like a pro.
Invest in quality luggage
Look for suitcases and bags that are durable, lightweight, and spacious enough to fit all of your belongings. Hard-shell suitcases are particularly good for protecting delicate items and allow plenty of room for your essentials. A top tip is to shop for these during off peak sale seasons in preparation for when you do eventually travel in the coming months.

Plan your outfits ahead and pack plenty of options
When it comes to packing your outfits, the more the merrier. There’s nothing worse than feeling like you have nothing to wear. Try to pack some staple pieces and maybe even stick to a colour scheme to make mixing and matching outfits easier.
Don’t forget to pack a stunning evening dress for the evenings you want to dress up a little. Colena is the perfect dress for those classier evenings on holiday when you want to look a little extra glam for a dinner or outing.
Accessories are your best friend
Sometimes accessories can be an after thought when packing for a vacation, but they’re essential for dressing up an outfit. Shoes can take up a lot of space in your luggage, so choose a few versatile pairs that can be dressed up or down. Jewellery should be packed in a separate pouch or case to prevent tangling or damages. Especially if you have planned your outfits ahead, you will know what accessory options will go with what and which ones are worth packing.

Lists, lists and more lists!
In addition to lists of restaurants you want to try and lists of night club recommendations, it's usually helpful to create a list of all the things you need to pack before you actually start packing (when you are not under pressure and more likely to remember everything that needs to go on the list). A list is also super helpful for re-packing your suitcase for the way back. What a disaster it would be to find out you have left your favourite hair straighteners in another country!
Finally, don't forget to pack any travel documents, passports, and visas. These can sometimes be forgotten amongst all the other things you have to pack but they’re the most important.
By following these tips, you can ensure that you have everything you need to have the perfect vacation!
