It’s time to set your status to ‘out-of-office.’ Your quest for the best vacation swimwear officially ends here.

I've traveled to several dreamy resort getaways and found that each one has a specific swimwear vibe—which makes packing for an upcoming tropical escape that much easier. Ahead, I’ve curated the perfect swimwear labels for a variety of must-visit destinations. A dreamlike trip to the Four Seasons Anguilla pairs beautifully with romantic white bikinis from Magda Butrym; a weekend visit to Miami isn't complete without bold, vibrant hues from CIN CIN swim in your carry-on. There's plenty more where those came from, so get into relaxation mode with the best vacation swimwear for every luxurious trip you're taking this year below.

The temperatures are hot and the style is even hotter. This is the place to wear your most glamorous and vibrant ensembles. Let Miami’s famous art deco buildings and their zest for living life colorfully inspire your swimwear. Go vibrant or go home. (Well, don't actually go home.)

Matching Sets for Tulum

Tulum is such a fun destination, whether you're traveling for a bachelorette or a romantic getaway. Matching sets are the way for days packed with activities and nights spent at the beachside bars. Grab a printed swimsuit and pareo from Agua by Agua Bendita or a robe set from Verdelimon and off you go. As for where to stay? Be Tulum or Nômade are my top recommendations for group or solo trips. Again, thank me later.
