Style Savvy: Packing for Costa Rica with the Badgley Mischka Weekender Tote
Costa Rica is a destination that demands versatility — one day you're surfing at Tamarindo, the next you're zip-lining through a cloud forest, and the evening calls for a candlelit dinner at a jungle lodge. Packing smart means choosing pieces that work across all of it. The Badgley Mischka Uncomplicated Nylon Weekender Tote Bag is the perfect travel companion — spacious, lightweight, and effortlessly chic. Here's how to build your Costa Rica packing list around it.
The Hero Bag: Badgley Mischka Uncomplicated Nylon Weekender Tote
The Badgley Mischka Uncomplicated Nylon Weekender Tote Bag lives up to its name — a sleek, lightweight black nylon tote with a clean silhouette and designer label that's as at home on a jungle lodge porch as it is at a Pacific coast beach club. Roomy enough for a week of versatile outfits, light enough to carry all day, and polished enough to take anywhere. Your Costa Rica adventure starts here.
Pack This: Tropical Bros Greek Paradise Hawaiian Shirt
Costa Rica's Pacific coast beach towns have a vibrant, colorful energy that calls for equally bold resort wear. The Tropical Bros Super Stretch Greek Paradise Hawaiian Shirt delivers exactly that — a vivid, architectural-print super stretch shirt that's comfortable enough for a full day of exploring and stylish enough for a sunset dinner at a beachfront restaurant. The four-way stretch fabric moves with you whether you're hiking to a waterfall or lounging in a hammock.
Bring the Fun: Elakai Travel Cornhole Set
Costa Rica's beaches and jungle clearings are perfect for outdoor games — and the Elakai Outdoor 1ft x 2ft Beach Epoxy Resin Wood Travel Cornhole Set is built for exactly this. Compact enough to pack in your weekender, beautifully crafted with an ocean-themed epoxy resin design, and endlessly entertaining for beach days, lodge evenings, and everything in between. The ultimate Costa Rica group activity.
Costa Rica Packing Tips
- Pack for two climates — the Pacific coast is hot and dry; the cloud forests are cool and misty. Layer accordingly.
- Choose quick-dry everything — Costa Rica's waterfalls, rivers, and rain showers mean you'll get wet; quick-dry fabrics are essential.
- Bring a lightweight weekender — a nylon tote is easy to carry on day trips and doubles as a beach bag.
- Pack bold resort wear — Costa Rica's beach towns have a vibrant, colorful energy; don't be afraid to go bright.
- Bring a travel game — evenings at jungle lodges and beach camps are perfect for outdoor games with friends and family.
