PACK LIGHT, PLAY MORE!
UK travelers often pack unnecessary items for their holidays, which can take up valuable luggage space and add to the overall weight. We have many of these items available at ReZen.Villas for any guest to request, all in high quality! Take a look below or here's a printable:

Unnecessary items to avoid packing:
Blankets or duvets (provided)
Warm clothes and winter coats (light clothing is suitable)
Umbrellas (Spain's sunny weather rarely requires them)
Excessive footwear (sandals or lightweight shoes are sufficient)
Beach towels (provided)
Toiletries (basics provided, others available to purchase locally)
Chargers and adapters (many of our EU sockets have USB ports, and we have UK/EU adapters available)
Books and magazines (library in the restaurant)
Hair dryers (provided)
Inflatables (available for purchase at our in-house shop)
Tips for lighter travel:
Roll your clothes instead of folding to save space.
Choose versatile clothing that can be mixed and matched.
Pack light footwear as you won't need many shoes.
Bring just the necessary toiletries, buy more if needed in Spain.
Leave space in your luggage for souvenirs you'll likely pick up.
We even have beach bags, picnic baskets, parasols and sun hats available for purchase at our in-house shop.
By packing lighter and more versatile items, you can avoid unnecessary luggage weight and enjoy a more seamless and stress-free travel experience in Spain.

Travel Tips for Families:
Packing for little ones can be tricky! Here are some tips to streamline your luggage and ensure a smooth journey
Favourite comforts: While we understand the importance of cuddly companions, bringing their entire toy collection might not be practical. Consider a small photo of their favourite toy or a cosy travel-sized blanket for bedtime snuggles.
Entertainment: We have a fantastic selection of children's books and games available at ReZen.Villas. Feel free to pack a few favourites from home, but there's plenty to keep them entertained here too!
