Couples who delayed their wedding because of the pandemic may have the added benefit of having more time to save for their dream honeymoon. What many are looking for are luxurious but secluded resorts in order to avoid crowded locations where Covid may lurk. Hopefully, the virus will not have its grip on us for much longer, and your dreamy-moon will carry-on without any of those fears.

Part of the fun of traveling to a special destination is looking on point, so pack your suitcase like a pandora’s box with incredibly luxe items that you can’t wait to slip on, pulling out all the stops for this trip of a lifetime.

Swimwear 

No matter if you choose a tropical or urban paradise, a swimsuit or two or three— should always be packed. A dip in the pool is a great way for couples to relax and many suites have a secluded pool right outside your door. Although skinny-dipping is top of the list, you’ll also want to bring a killer suit for those less private moments. Here are some options WBM recommends from La Gotta Swim, Shoshanna, Magicsuit, and Carolina K.

A Little Lingerie Goes a Long Way

Fantasy Footwear
