What to pack for a stay at voco Sandpiper Resort
Pack lightweight, beach-ready clothes, swim gear, sunscreen, and shoes for tennis/pickleball plus casual evening outfits — the resort is all-inclusive so basic meals, house drinks, towels and non-motorized watersports (kayaks, paddleboards) are included. Bring chargers, ID (the check-in guest must be at least 21), any prescription meds, and any specialty items you want for premium dining, spa treatments or motorized water sports (these may cost extra).

Clothing and footwear
Weather on Florida’s Treasure Coast is warm much of the year; pack breathable, lightweight fabrics and layers for cooler evenings. Plan for pool and waterfront days plus casual dining — dress codes at resort restaurants are generally casual/resort-casual.
If you’ll use resort fitness classes, tennis or pickleball, pack athletic wear and court shoes. For evenings, bring a few smart-casual outfits for Riverside Market or Match Point.
- T-shirts, shorts, sundresses, light sweater for evening
- Swim cover-up and 2–3 swimsuits
- Athletic wear + tennis/pickleball shoes
- Casual evening outfit (resort-casual)
- Flip-flops or sandals and a pair of walking shoes
| Activity | Suggested items |
|---|---|
| Pool/beach | Swimsuit, cover-up, sandals |
| Sports/fitness | Shorts, sneaker, water bottle |
| Dining/evening | Resort-casual outfit, light jacket |
Beach, pool and watersports gear
The all-inclusive rate covers towels and non-motorized watersports (kayaks and paddleboards). Still bring your own preferred snorkel gear, reef-safe sunscreen and a sun hat for longer river or beach outings.
Motorized water sports (jet skis, boat rentals) typically carry an extra charge — bring proper footwear and a dry bag if you plan to pay for motorized rentals or dock trips at the marina.
- Reef-safe sunscreen and after-sun lotion
- Wide-brim hat, sunglasses with strap
- Quick-dry towel or travel towel (the resort provides towels too)
- Water shoes and a waterproof phone pouch
- Snorkel set or personal paddle/snorkel gear (optional)
| What’s included | What to bring |
|---|---|
| Kayaks & paddleboards | Rash guard, water shoes |
| Main pool & adults-only infinity pool | Swimwear, cover-up |
| Motorized rentals | ID, dry bag, payment method |
Toiletries, health and medications
Daily housekeeping and towel service are included, but bring your usual toiletries and any prescriptions — pharmacy access may require a short drive. The property lists spa treatments as available for an extra charge, so bring anything you want for at-room relaxation if you plan to skip paid spa services.
Carry a small first-aid kit for blisters or minor cuts and allergy meds if you’re sensitive to pollen; Florida can be humid and insect-prone at times.
- Prescriptions in original containers + a copy of prescriptions
- Basic first-aid kit and insect repellent
- Toothbrush, toothpaste, deodorant, razors
- Sunscreen (broad-spectrum) and lip balm with SPF
| Item | Why |
|---|---|
| Prescriptions | Not all meds stocked nearby |
| Insect repellent | Evening riverfront areas can have bugs |
| Reef-safe sunscreen | Recommended for local waterways and beaches |
Electronics, documents and money
Bring photo ID (the person checking in must be at least 21), a credit card on arrival, and anything needed for travel to/from airports. The resort offers free, unlimited Wi‑Fi so you can bring laptops or tablets for streaming or work.

- Driver’s license or passport (check-in ID)
