Heading to a fabulous spa or wellness retreat soon? Way to prioritize yourself. Don’t stress over attire, beauty, or travel essentials with our top recommendations on what to pack:

🧢 The key for any wellness retreat: comfortable, airy clothing. We like these loose, wide-leg yoga pants and this UV-protected lightweight hoodie. For comfort that’s still put-together, rock a lounge set.

👟 Be ready to hike, bike, and pickleball in HOKA running shoes or these best-selling Columbia hiking boots.

👗 On-site restaurants may have a dress code for dinner. Pack some vacation-approved men’s collared shirts and shop Nordstrom Rack’s dress edit.

🔥 Stay cozy around nightly fire pits with your favorite pattern of this women’s shawl.

👙 Heading somewhere with hot springs or mineral springs? Grab a great swimsuit for swimming holes.

🧴 For travel-sized bottles, use Cadence’s Daily Routine Capsule Set to keep toiletries organized and spill-proof — not to mention chic.

💤 Take control of jet lag with Thorne’s Melaton-3 melatonin. Worried about travel jitters? PharmaGABA-100 promotes restful sleep by calming your mind.

☀️ If you’re traveling to sunny spots, grab a best-selling mineral sunscreen.

📈 Enhance your wellness journey by tracking sleep, recovery, and heart rate with an Oura Ring.
