24 Things to Add to Your Atlantis Packing List
Packing Cubes
Are you using packing cubes, yet? If not, it’s time to start! Packing cubes will help you organize your clothes. You can even assign each family member a different color (can you tell I have a Type-A personality?).
Sunscreen
Of course, this a given considering you’ll be in The Bahamas. Toss some sunscreen into your bag, and then add another bottle. We also use a face and body stick to make sure our faces are well-protected. Be sure to keep your lips protected, as well. You’ll be thankful that you did. Sunscreen is more expensive at the resort. I also always bring some aloe with me, just in case.
Think we’re a bit overboard with the sunscreen? We’re from Florida! We know better!
Sunglasses & Sunglass Strap
While we’re on the topic of protecting our body, you’ll want to wear sunglasses to protect your eyes from the vibrant sun. If you plan on hitting the waterslides, we suggest getting a sunglass strap, as well!
Waterproof Case for Your Phone
If you’re going to be using your phone as a camera, you’re definitely going to want to keep it protected with a waterproof phone case. Trust me, you’ll take this thing everywhere you go. From the waterpark to the sharks at the end of Serpent Slide, the beach, the lagoon, and the lazy river. You’ll definitely get your money’s worth!
The great thing about these cases is that the touch screen features still work. I’ve used my cases countless times in pools, fresh water, and salt water and never had an issue. The pictures turn out crystal clear and your phone is 100% safe.
Lanyard
You’re going to want to make sure you have your room key with you, safe and sound. Put your mind at ease by stashing it in a lanyard with a pouch.
Towel Clips
Towel clips are a great way to keep your towel off of the sand and to mark your territory. Speaking of towels, we pack quick-dry towels when we go to the pool so that we don’t have to lug around a heavy towel around with us.
Goggles for the Kiddos
Kids are like little fishies…that is until chlorine or saltwater makes it into their little eyes. Protect their eyes with a pair of goggles so they can swim to their heart’s content.
Sand Toys
Ya’ll, the white sand at the beaches on Paradise Island is so soft. Your kids are going to love playing in it! Keep them occupied (and out of your hair) by packing along some toys. These collapsible beach buckets are AMAZING and they don’t take up much space. If you don’t have space in your bags, Atlantis does sell beach toys, but they are expensive.
Snorkel Gear
I bought a full face snorkel mask a couple of years ago and I love it! I’ll never use a traditional mask again. The water surrounding Paradise Island is so incredibly clear. Pack your gear and dive in!
Beach Hats
Trust me, you’ll want to have one for the whole family! After a few hours in the sun, you’ll appreciate having a beach hat.
Bathing Suit Coverups
When you’re walking from your room to the pool or beach or wherever you’ll be passing through a lot of public spaces. Cover up.
Insulated Tumblers
We pack insulated tumblers with us on pretty much every trip- whether we’re going to Atlantis, going on a cruise, or staying at a cabin. These are great for keeping your drinks nice and cold while you relax by the pool.
Soft-sided Cooler
If you’re going to be at the beach or pool for a bit longer, consider packing a small soft-sided cooler. We have a Coleman one that folds flat and doesn’t take up a lot of space. It was less than $10 on Amazon!
Waterproof Bandaids
Dude, the sand rubbing against a rubber flip flop can rub your foot raw. Chances are you’ll pack a few pairs of adorable sandals that you haven’t broken in, quite yet. Pack some waterproof bandaids.
Airpods
Anyone else like to drown out the background noise and groove to a beach playlist? Don’t forget to pack your Airpods!
Waterproof Kindle
Are you a reader? Check out the Kindle Paperwhite. It’s lightweight and it is waterproof. You can also easily adjust the screen so that you can read it in the sun.
Waterproof Camera
Record your memories with this waterproof GoPro! Take it with you on the waterslides, in the pool, and in the turquoise water at the beach! We also love Kodak’s PixPro. It’s a waterproof camera that can take a bit of a beating.
