Hey babes 🌺 — can we just take a moment to appreciate that holiday bikini season is officially here? I just got back from a long weekend in Byron, where I wore the Brooklyn Bikini – Orange, and honestly… the main character energy was off the charts. I swear every girl at the surf club came up asking, “Where’s that from?” (Spoiler: Dekota Swim, obviously). If you’re planning your own island escape, start curating your holiday bikini outfits now — because when you land in Bali or Fiji, you’ll want looks that slay as hard as you do. ✨
It got me thinking — why do we always overpack for tropical trips, yet still end up wearing the same one set we actually love? Been there. Worn that. So today we’re fixing it. I’m giving you my tried-and-tested formula for holiday bikini outfits that absolutely slay — whether you’re sipping coconuts in Bali or dancing barefoot in the sand in Fiji.
Why Your Holiday Bikini Outfits Matter (Like… a Lot)
Let’s be real: shopping for bikinis in-store is usually a whole emotional rollercoaster. Weird lighting. Zero privacy. Questionable mirrors. And somehow every size fits differently depending on the moon phase. 🙃
That’s why I ditched the changing room chaos and started buying swimwear online from Dekota Swim instead. It’s faster, it’s easier, and best of all — you can try on in your own bedroom with your fave playlist blasting and natural light (aka your real body lighting).
When your bikini fits just right, it does something magical: it gives you instant confidence. And confidence is the best accessory you can pack for an island escape. ✨
So let’s curate your ultimate tropical lineup. Because if your swimwear can’t take you from a beach club in Seminyak to a sunset cocktail in Denarau, is it even worth the luggage space?
1. The Statement Set — When You Want the Spotlight
She’s bold, she’s bright, and she refuses to blend in with the banana lounges.
Try the Brooklyn Bikini – Orange. This vibrant hue practically glows under golden-hour light. I wore mine to a beach bar in Canggu, and I swear even the bartender blushed. It’s the kind of set that instantly makes you stand taller and laugh louder — pure dopamine dressing, holiday edition.
Style it with:
A sheer sarong tied low on the hips
Gold layered necklaces that catch the sun
Oversized straw hat for mystery vibes
📍 Pro tip: Pack two sets of this one. Because if it disappears from your hotel balcony (yes, it’s that steal-worthy), you’ll cry.

2. The Chic Neutrals — For Your Euro-It-Girl Era
Not into colour chaos? Go for quiet luxury island-core.
The Penelope Bikini – Nude is that girl. Elegant. Minimal. A total contrast to Bali’s neon beach club signs — and that’s exactly why it works. Think less tourist, more editorial on holiday.
Style it with:
A white linen button-down worn open
Raffia slides and a woven clutch
Hair slicked back in a low bun (bonus: ocean-proof)
This is the set that makes you look like you’re staying at a private villa (even if you’re splitting an Airbnb). It’s giving timeless goddess energy, and honestly? I’m obsessed.
3. The Print Queen — For Poolside Reels That Go Viral
Because what’s a tropical getaway without a cheeky “dancing by the pool” Reel? Enter: the Maya Bikini – Fruit Salad. This one is pure joy — colourful, playful, and guaranteed to turn every cabana into your personal runway.
@ella.in.bali wore this exact set last week with chunky bangles and a hibiscus behind her ear and yep… it’s already at 1.2M views. Coincidence? Absolutely not.
Style it with:
A crochet skirt (extra points if it’s see-through)
Shell anklets that jingle when you walk
Your sassiest cat-eye sunnies
The trick with prints is balance — keep your accessories minimal and let the bikini do the talking. And trust me, she’s a loud talker.
4. The Black Two Piece — Because She’s Iconic
There’s something about a black two piece bathing suit that just hits different. The Calliope Bikini – Black is my go-to when I want to look like I own a yacht (even though I just hired a scooter).
It’s sleek, sculpting, and so timeless it’ll still be cool ten summers from now. Consider it your insurance policy against bad holiday photos.
Style it with:
A silky black maxi skirt that flows in the breeze
Body oil on your collarbones for the glow factor
A spicy red lip for night
This is your secret weapon bikini — the one you wear when you need to pull a full main character arc at the beach club.
5. The Mermaid Moment — When You’re Feeling Extra
Sometimes, holidays are about unleashing your inner drama queen. Enter the Scarlett Bikini – Silver. It’s shiny, shimmery, and practically made to match the Fijian sunset.
Style it with:
Body chains (stack them like bracelets for your waist)
Hair tousled and salty from a beach dip
Zero worries, just vibes
You will literally sparkle while you order your mocktail. 10/10 recommend.
Packing Tips to Keep the Slay Strong
Because what’s the point of curating the ultimate holiday bikini outfits if they get ruined in your suitcase?
Roll, don’t fold. Saves space and avoids creases.
Separate by type. Use packing cubes so bikinis aren’t wrestling with your sunscreen bottles.
Dry them fully. Never pack damp swimwear unless you want that ugh smell following you to Fiji.
Trust me, nothing kills main character energy faster than unpacking a suitcase of soggy bikinis.
The Dekota Difference (And Why It Matters)
Real talk: not every bikini brand in Australia is created equal. Some are all hype, low quality — and end up sad and saggy after three dips. 😬
Dekota Swim is different. While our current fabrics aren’t recycled (yet), we design everything for longevity — so you’re not replacing your bikini every season. Think small-batch production, timeless designs, and plastic-free packaging that won’t end up in landfill.
So when you’re planning your next holiday bikini outfits for Bali or Fiji, you know they’ll still look flawless season after season — because buying better once is way cooler than buying fast and tossing it. ✨
