15 Early Prime Day Deals on Vacation Travel Essentials 2025

Before going on vacation, I can’t help but do a little shopping. After all, my travel wardrobe usually needs a slight refresh before heading to a new destination, and there are some practical essentials I always find myself missing. Ahead of my upcoming summer vacations, I’m eyeing breezy fashion pieces, must-have tech, and more. 

Luckily, I just found my entire wishlist at Amazon. While Prime Day may be a week away, you can already score massive savings—and I’ve filled my cart with summer vacation essentials up to 75 percent off. Now, I’m sharing the best deals in my cart, starting at $5. 

Best Deals Overall

Anrabess Palazzo Pants

I’ve been eyeing these Anrabess Palazzo Pants for months. The wide-leg silhouette ensures a breezy fit that’s perfect for hot summer days, and I love that the smocked waistband creates a cinching effect. They’re slightly cropped, making them perfect for petite shoppers. While I’m not petite, I love that the shorter length ensures they won’t drag in the sand during walks along the beach.

Tobehigher Straw Beach Bag

This summer, I’m swapping my canvas tote bag for a straw bag—and I have my eye on this now-$19 option. According to one reviewer, it’s big enough to hold all your beach essentials, from a large towel to a cosmetics case. I also love that it has a zippered pocket to keep your wallet and phone secure and sand-free. 

Apple AirPods Pro 2

I’ve been holding off on buying wireless earbuds for years, but I’m finally pulling the trigger on the Apple AirPods Pro 2. I’ll use them on train rides, beach days, and workouts. They feature high-quality audio, noise-canceling technology, and even a transparency mode, which I’ll use to stay aware while walking through crowded destinations. 

B2prity One-piece Tummy Control Swimsuit

The B2prity One-piece Tummy Control Swimsuit has a classic yet unique design, with flattering ruching along the bust and waist. I love that I can pair this swimsuit with a pair of wide-leg pants to grab a pre-beach breakfast, and it comes in 32 stylish colors that are all marked down today.

Anrabess Crochet Swim Coverup

The Anrabess Crochet Swim Coverup has a high-quality, handmade look, and I can’t believe it’s available at Amazon for just $34. It’s selling quickly, with over 2,000 shoppers purchasing it last month, and it’s easy to see why. Reviewers are raving about its durable material and flattering style.

Charmast Portable Charger With Built-in Cables

I’m the type to be walking around an unfamiliar city with a low phone battery, but I’m turning over a new leaf with the Charmast Portable Charger. I love that it comes with built-in cables to charge multiple devices at once. Needless to say, I’m sure everyone will be borrowing this genius device on my upcoming girls’ trip. 

Havaianas Slim Season Flip Flops

Havaianas are trending again, and I’m snagging a pair on Amazon while they’re marked down. The classic Slim Season Flip Flops come in so many colors, from this classic black option to a vibrant floral pattern. Best of all, plenty of reviewers rave about their comfort, with one shopper even calling them the “most comfortable flip flops ever made.”

Blue Lizard Sport Mineral Spray Sunscreen SPF 50+

At the advice of a dermatologist, I’m swapping out all my chemical sunscreens for mineral versions, and this Blue Lizard sunscreen is already in my cart. I love that it’s a spray, rather than a lotion, so it will be so much easier to apply (and reapply). Plus, it’s water-resistant and reef-safe. 

Lerat Portable Handheld Fan

You can snag this portable handheld fan for a whopping 75 percent off today. It has two fan speeds and has 15 hours of battery life. I’m planning on keeping it in my bag all summer long to use on stuffy subway cars and sunny beaches.

Apple AirTag

I’m fortunate to say that I’ve never lost my luggage, but I’m taking extra precautions to ensure it never happens. Many travelers swear by Apple AirTags to keep track of their checked bags, so I’m buying one while they’re marked down. You can use an AirTag holder to attach them to your bags, keys, or wallet. In fact, I think I’ll snag a four-pack of AirTags and keep track of all my valuables.

Antfuny Turkish Beach Towel With Travel Bag

If there’s one item you don’t want to be without on summer vacation, it’s a beach towel. If you aren’t staying at a resort or rental house that can provide one, it’s best to bring along a travel-friendly option that won’t take up too much luggage space. This one is quick-drying, sand-repellent, and comes with a travel bag for easy packing. 

Soundcore Select 4 Go Bluetooth Speaker

Beach trips aren’t just about catching a tan; it’s also important to curate a good vibe. For just $22, this Soundcore speaker offers “surprisingly good” sound and a 20-hour battery life, so you can have a personal soundtrack for every vacation moment. We tested it and loved that it's a perfect companion for carry-on-only travelers. Now all that’s left to do is create the perfect summer playlist.

The Drop Luna Scoop-neck Linen Maxi Dress

There’s nothing better than a breezy linen dress on a hot summer day. That’s why this scoop-neck option is in my cart ahead of Prime Day. Currently marked down to just $64, it’s a timeless option that I’ll style for day and night for years to come.

Sojos Retro Aviator Sunglasses

Stylish sunglasses are essential for any trip, and I love these best-selling aviators that are now just $15. They provide 100 percent UVA and UVB protection, so they’re equally functional and fashionable. Plus, they come in 21 different colors, and they’re all marked down today.

Napfun Neck Pillow

I usually travel without a neck pillow, which means I always start my vacations with a neck cramp. Before taking any more long-haul flights, I’m snagging this reviewer-loved Napfun Neck Pillow. According to one shopper, it provided them “unmatched comfort” on a 10-hour flight to Europe thanks to the soft memory foam pillow and cooling cover.
