Although summer is winding down and school is back in session, vacation travel is still going strong. Whether you're planning one last tropical getaway or venturing off to an epic music fest we've rounded up some island packing essentials so you can travel like a pro. One seaside music celebration to add to your summer itinerary is the North Sea Jazz Festival, located in beautiful Curaçao, a Dutch Caribbean island off the northern coast of Venezuela. Returning August 28 through August 30 at its iconic beachfront spot on Piscadera Bay, the three-day fest brings top artists across genres - from R&B to Latin - with past headliners like Mariah Carey, Bruno Mars, Stevie Wonder and Alicia Keys. This year's lineup promises to raise the bar once again with Snoop Dogg, Tems, Ne-Yo, Ricky Martin, Kool and the Gang, Sheila E. and the E-Train, Gipsy Kings and more music legends. One- or three-day passes for the 2025 Curaçao North Sea Jazz Festival are available online at Ticketmaster and StubHub.

Once you're out there, it's as if the clock is just a construct, and going with the flow is all that matters. Your outfits and glam routine should follow that same low-maintenance approach. Think mini (aka TSA-friendly) versions of all your beauty faves, so you can keep them in your carryall bag to freshen up on the go. Or a single versatile hair tool that offers salon-style tresses in one easy swoop anytime, anywhere. (Hello, humidity.) Or chic swimwear and sandals that work day to night. Wondering what to pack for your next vacation in hot and humid weather? Read on for the best fashion, beauty and tech products to pack for the Caribbean and other island destinations.

The cult-classic Fat Water toner serum features Australian Lemon Myrtle, which helps reduce surface oil and refine pores.
