The La Luz Island Getaway Style Guide

Wanderluxe Looks for the World’s Most Underrated 5-Star Beach Escapes

There are islands you’ve heard of… and then there are the islands whispered about by in-the-know travelers — the ones where the water is impossibly clear, the crowds are nonexistent, and every sunset feels like it was painted just for you.

This is your La Luz wanderluxe wardrobe, curated for the woman who wants her outfits to match the magic of the place she’s in — effortless, colorful, globally inspired, and always a little glamorous.

So book the flight. Pack the kimonos. Let’s island-hop.

1. LAMU, KENYA

Where Swahili romance meets barefoot luxury.

If you know, you know: Lamu is the East African jewel that still feels untouched — think stone alleyways, donkeys instead of cars, rooftop dinners, dhows drifting across the Indian Ocean.

What to Wear (La Luz Style):
✨ Island Reverie Kimono Set — the tropical green leaf print feels made for Lamu’s breezy, earthy palette. Wear it open over a white bikini for Shela Beach, or cinched with gold jewelry for dinner at Peponi Hotel.
✨ The Aloha Maxi — flowing, feminine, and photogenic against Lamu’s iconic coral-stone architecture.
✨ Green Peacock Earrings — a pop of jewel-tone color that stands up against sun-kissed skin.

The Mood:
Barefoot, bronzed, and beautiful — a mix of Swahili ease and editorial glam.

2. ISLA HOLBOX, MEXICO

Boho paradise without the Tulum crowds.

Holbox is the chilled-out sister of the Riviera Maya — no cars, just murals, hammocks, golf carts, and water the color of blue Curaçao.

What to Wear:
✨ La Isla Bonita Maxi Dress — she belongs here, moving with the warm breeze as you sip a mezcalita by the shore.
✨ Seychelles Vacay Set — tropical swirl drama for a sunset catamaran.

✨ The Oceana Set — crisp, chic, and perfect for beachfront boutique hotels like Ser Casasandra.

The Mood:
Colorful, carefree, and slightly bohemian — but make it luxe.

3. ÎLE DES PINS, NEW CALEDONIA

The South Pacific’s best-kept secret.

Think Bora Bora vibes without the crowds. Turquoise lagoons, towering pines, and that untouched-paradise feeling.

What to Wear:
✨ The Maldives Maxi — dreamy ocean tones for a destination that looks like a screensaver in real life.
✨ The Manarola Maxi — bold color meets floaty elegance for dinner at Le Méridien.

✨ Dangled Bangles — golden touches that sparkle in island light.

The Mood:
A soft-focus fantasy — perfect for your inner siren.

4. KOH YAO NOI, THAILAND

Quiet, cinematic, emerald-cliff beauty.

Skip the tourist-heavy islands and head to Koh Yao Noi, the peaceful, cinematic spot between Phuket and Krabi with luxe eco-resorts and those iconic limestone cliffs.

What to Wear:
✨ The Seychelles 2-Piece Pant Set — breezy glamour for a motorbike ride around the island.
✨ Cyanara Maxi Dress — deep blue hues echoing the Andaman Sea.
✨ Fringe Envy Earrings (Yellow) — a flash of sunshine that photographs beautifully against jungle greens.

The Mood:
Tropical elegance with a hint of mystique.

5. ZANZIBAR, TANZANIA (BUT NOT THE MAIN HOTSPOTS)

Specifically: Paje, Michamvi, and Matemwe.

Fewer crowds, more tide pools, palm trees that lean dramatically toward the sea, and luxury eco-lodges that feel like your own private island.

What to Wear:
✨ The Vivienne Gown (Emerald) — for a dramatic, moonlit dinner on the beach.
✨ Palm Grove Set — lush, editorial, and perfect for boutique resorts like Zuri Zanzibar.
✨ The Saint Barts Tote / Amel Tote Bag — chic enough for a five-star, practical enough for island wandering.

The Mood:
Sunkissed glam with a soft, spiritual undertone.

6. CIENFUEGOS & CAYO LARGO, CUBA

Polished Cuban charm meets Caribbean minimalism.

Not Havana, not Varadero — these are the quieter coastlines where the water is crystalline, the culture rich, and the atmosphere beautifully slow.

What to Wear:
✨ The Anniversary Maxi (Blue or White) — crisp, romantic pieces for seafront strolls.
✨ The Cannes Kimono — sunset-approved with an elegant swim set underneath.
✨ Golden Hour Maxi Dress — for rooftop mojitos with a view.

The Mood:
Old-world charm meets modern resort chic.

What to Pack: The La Luz Island Essentials

A quick checklist for your carry-on:

• A signature kimono
  (Cannes, Island Reverie, Santo Domingo, or Blue Floral — they fold beautifully and style a dozen ways.)

• One glow-everywhere maxi
  (Maldives Maxi, La Isla Bonita, Manarola Maxi, etc.)

• A versatile two-piece set
  (Palm Grove Set, Seychelles Vacay Set, or Oceana Set.)

• Statement earrings
  (Green Peacock, Samba Fringe, Fringe Envy.)

• 

• A beach-to-dinner tote
  (St. Barts Tote, Amel Tote, Anniversary Bag.)

• A Passport Fragrance
  to bottle the memory — HANA for tropical sweetness, ANDALUCIA for warmth, NAZCA for mystery.

How to Style Your Island Getaway the La Luz Way

1. Dress for the breeze.

Choose fabrics that move — the wind becomes your stylist.

2. Color is queen.

Turquoise, coral, merlot, emerald, ocean blue — island palettes lift your mood and your photos.

3. Let one piece be the moment.

A kimono, a maxi, a standout earring — just one signature piece can transform the whole look.

4. Think “editorial meets ease.”

Comfortable silhouettes + striking prints = La Luz wanderluxe.

5. Pack pieces that layer into memories.

Your wardrobe should feel like chapters of the trip — one outfit for the golden hour, one for exploring, one for that special dinner.
