What you really need for a barefoot, oceanfront escape
When you're headed to Xinalani, you're not just packing for a trip—you're packing for presence. Nestled between jungle and sea, our retreat invites you to live simply, breathe deeply, and reconnect with what matters. Here are five essentials to bring, and one unexpected thing you're better off leaving behind.
Xinalani's All Inclusive Packages
1. A swimsuit you’ll actually want to live in
Our emerald sea is calling, the pool sparkles in the sun, and paddleboards are always nearby. Bring a suit you love—you’ll be in it more than you think.

2. Breathable layers for yoga and jungle walks
Morning yoga calls for something light and stretchy, while breezy evenings may need a soft layer. Comfort is everything.

3. A journal—or nothing at all
You might feel inspired to write, sketch, or simply sit with your thoughts. Whether you bring a notebook or just open space in your mind, you’ll leave with something meaningful.

4. Reef-safe sunscreen + insect repellent
Nature is generous here. Show it kindness in return. Protect your skin and the ecosystem with eco-friendly products. Well, if you forget them, we have them in our boutique too!

5. Curiosity for fresh flavors
Our menu is mostly plant-based, but includes delicious proteins like fish, shrimp, and chicken. Expect fresh ceviches, tropical fruit, and that unforgettable cold coconut under the palms.

And the one thing you can leave behind?
Stress.
We'll make sure you drop it at the door. Hammocks, ocean swims, and morning yoga will take care of the rest.

Now, if you'd like a more serious answer on what to pack, here's a list.
