Floral string bikinis in the Samoan sea

This Island Life | Island hopping in Samoa

After checking into my incredible beachfront villa at Sinalei Reef Resort & Spa, I headed straight to the ocean in my new bikini by Lychee Swimwear. I’d packed about 20 bikinis, but after having a beautiful floral welcome lei placed around my neck, I knew exactly which bikini to wear for my first swim in the crystal clear Samoan sea.

I’ve been a big fan of Lychee Swimwear for a few years now. They have great cuts; on-trend prints, you can mix and match styles and sizes, and they use beautifully soft fabric. I’m a sucker for a white string bikini, but I love that this one is still predominately white, but the ‘Bird of Paradise’ print gives it a subtle pop of colour. This bikini also comes in navy and raspberry, which are high on my wish list for my next tropical island hopping adventure.
