 The Romantic Allure of the Islands

Does paradise require a gorgeous, strapless silk dress in daiquiri from Jay Godfrey for Sway & Cake?  We think so, but don’t stop there. You’ll also need a fabulous swimsuit, like the Missoni zig-zag halter bikini (pictured) from Net-A-Porter.

For him, choose eluxury’s Dolce & Gabbana form-fitting silver sea swim trunk ($145).

If those prices will bust your budget, he and she will both find suitable substitutes from Lands’ End, which offers a nearly custom fit with its mix-and-match separates for all kinds of shapes. We love the forgiving three-piece paisley tankini with cover-up skirt for $89.50.  They’ve also got men’s volley swim trunks in quick-dry nylon in seven colors.

Of course, with such wonderful items stuffed into your suitcases, you’ll want to make an extra effort to make sure your baggage gets to your destination. For convenience, it’s hard to beat the Hammacher Schlemmer underseat rolling carry-on bag with collapsible handles and padded sides sturdy enough to carry a laptop.

But if airline surcharges for extra luggage and reports of lost bags have you spooked, you may want to opt for a delivery service that guarantees your bags will be there when you are. Luggage Forward  is one of several companies that will ship excess luggage, golf clubs or whatever else you want. It’s not cheap, though: The cost to send one large suitcase and set of golf clubs domestically (one-way) starts at $253. The quicker you need it, the more it costs.

And, finally, don’t take a chance on ruining the romance by not ensuring the safety of the water you’re drinking. With the Exstream water purification system from Pur, you just scoop up or fill with water from a tap. A purification cartridge attached to the cap removes most waterborne cysts, protozoa, bacteria and viruses. The 26-ounce bottle won’t take up a lot of space and costs $44.99.

You can also score extra points with your environmentally sensitive beau by also taking along a stylish aluminum Sigg water bottle (pictured), instead of swigging from disposable water bottles.  The swiss-made beauties come in classic ($21.99) or designs that walk on the wild side ($19.99).
