Spring Break, Styled: What to Pack for the Season’s Chicest Getaways

Spring break is officially on the horizon—and with it comes the promise of sun-drenched afternoons, ocean breezes, and a suitcase filled with pieces that make getting dressed feel like part of the vacation. Whether you're headed to Palm Beach, Miami, the Bahamas, Mexico, or the charming coast of Johns Island, each destination calls for its own take on warm-weather style. Consider this your guide to packing beautifully: five chic escapes and the outfits to wear for each one.


Etéreo, Auberge Collection

Where: Playa del Carmen, Q.R., Mexico

In Auberge we trust. Etéreo is the Auberge Collection’s design-forward, family-friendly escape tucked along Mexico’s Riviera Maya, where mangroves meet a blissfully quiet stretch of Caribbean coastline. If that sentence was not enticing enough, every single room features an ocean view and indoor-outdoor living... And their spa offers Mayan-inspired rituals, hydrotherapy, and holistic therapies. Time to get packing.

Shop: Flip flops; Bangles; Paisley Toiletry Set; Celina Tote Bag; Linen Dress; Sleep Mask; Swimsuit; Sunglasses; Crochet Top; Wesley Pants; Travel Tote; Serving Plate.

The Dunlin, Auberge Collection 

Where: Johns Island, South Carolina

The Dunlin is Auberge's Lowcountry love letter, nestled along the marshes of South Carolina’s Kiawah River. With interiors designed by the Amanda Lindroth team, we recommend clearing your camera roll ahead of the trip to account for the celadon and gingham fest about to take it over. Days at the Dunlin are best spent biking the river trails, boating through the creeks, or settling in for a proper Southern dinner.

Coral Sands, Harbor Island

Where: Harbor Island, Dunmore Town, Bahamas

Coral Sands Inn & Cottages is Harbour Island’s classic beachfront hideaway, where – you guessed it – coral-clad cottages sit just steps from a perfect stretch of iconic pink sand. Days revolve around the pink beach, bookended by breezy veranda breakfasts and sunset cocktails.

Esmé Miami Beach 

Where: Miami, Florida

Miami has old-world charm. Designed by Jessica Schuster with a “Bohemian grandeur” aesthetic in mind, Esmé Miami Beach is a hidden gem on Española Way, where Mediterranean-inspired courtyards, cozy terraces, and expertly designed rooms feel worlds away from the typical South Beach scene. Spend the day at the beach club, wander downstairs for tapas and cocktails, and return to a rooftop pool that feels like your own secret perch above the city.

The Four Seasons Palm Beach 

Where: Palm Beach, Florida

Four Seasons Palm Beach is the polished, oceanfront escape that humbly proves Palm Beach still does coastal glamour best. Each room opens to a breezy balcony with Atlantic views. You’ll find frozen drinks flowing all over the property – poolside, straight on the sand or delivered directly to your suite. One step into the Chinoiserie-panelled lobby and it’s easy to see why this is Palm Beach’s only five-star retreat.
