Packing List 101: Travel Light Thanks to Columbia Beach Resort

“If you wish to travel far and fast, travel light. Take off all your envies, jealousies, unforgiveness, selfishness, and fears.” –Cesare Pavese

With airlines becoming more stringent with their baggage allowance and the need for truly seamless, stress-free trips intensifying due to the ever-escalating demands on our time and energy, travelling light has taken on a whole new dimension. Over-indulging in one’s suitcase contents has become a thing of the past, as travellers realise that investing in a hospitality option that will provide for them no matter the situation is a necessity of the future.

Below are our top picks of items you can happily leave at home, feeling safe in the knowledge that Columbia Beach Resort will take good care of you.

Towels:

Heavy, space-consuming, and unnecessary: towels are the ultimate burden on your suitcase.

Fret not, Columbia Beach Resort not only provides in-room towels but also towels for your beach and pool needs (not to mention fluffy bathrobes and slippers for relaxing in at the end of a long day).

Clean clothes for the entire trip:

Being on holiday, we understand that feeling your best is essential to revitalisation. Taking pride and pleasure in your attire –whether that’s lounging by our 80-metre long lagoon pool, or enjoying a delectable dinner at our gourmet Italian restaurant, Bacchus –is a vital component of feeling your best. Still, that doesn’t mean that you need to burden your suitcase with multiple items in ensuring your clothes are always clean and fresh: we offer a daily laundry service delivered straight to your door.

Reserve items:

It’s always best to pack those extra flip flops, isn’t it? Just in case. Fear not! We supply flip flopsin the summer and slippers in the winter.

And wedaily replenish Molton Brown toiletries, so no need to worry about packing shampoos and shower gels!

Nail polish and nail polish remover:

This may seem like a small extra your suitcase can bear to burden, but the risk of broken bottles and leaking doesn’t outweigh the benefits: especially considering that our award-winning Hébe Spa is on hand to satiate your manicure and pedicure desires.

From our Gel Polish Manicure, and Pro-Radiance Manicure to our Sole Delight Luxury Pedicure, ladies can rest assured that they won’t regret deciding not to pack their nail polish.
