Island cruises are for breathing in the salt air and admiring the wondrous beauty of white sand beaches. As the elements nurture you, take this time as an opportunity to do the same for Mother Nature with Cariloha. Founded in 2007, Cariloha, Where the Style of the Caribbean Meets the Spirit of Aloha™, offers bedding, bath, and apparel. But this is not your typical brand.

A Certified B Corporation, Cariloha strives to check boxes in both comfort and sustainability — because who says you can’t have both? Its products are created with bamboo viscose, which is sustainably sourced. This is far from the material’s only benefit, however; supplying top-notch relaxation and comfort, bamboo is hypoallergenic and odor-resistant. Simply put, Cariloha shows up not only for you but also for the environment, a captivating combination that has impressed consumers time and time again.

Cariloha was born in the islands, and luckily for travelers, there are more than 20 brick-and-mortar locations in popular cruise port destinations. They can be found in Nassau in the Bahamas; St. Lucia (at Pointe Seraphine); Jamaica (at the Port of Falmouth); and Honolulu, Hawaii, among other destinations. Pop in on a port day and allow yourself to indulge in eco-friendly retail therapy. The company also has 25 resort, non-cruise showrooms in popular U.S. destinations such as Kauai, San Diego, Myrtle Beach, and Las Vegas. Of course, all of Cariloha’s products are readily available on its website as well.



With an assortment of high-quality items to choose from, your wish list just got a little longer. For the absolute coziest Cariloha items, look no further. From sheets to towels and beyond, these dreamy finds will keep the vacation vibes going no matter where you are.

Treat yourself to the Cariloha Spa Robe

For those who have been on a cruise or have stayed at a high-end resort, you know the robes offered to guests are often heavenly, but you usually can’t take them home. However, there’s another option — you can infuse your life with a touch of opulence with the Cariloha Spa Robe. Available in your choice of two colors, black sand or coastal gray, the inside of the robe features a smooth, plush interior that is complemented by a velvety smooth sateen finish. Wrap yourself in its splendor and unwind. As one reviewer on Cariloha’s website explained, “Super soft and comfy, it feels like a cozy hug every time I put it on.”

With Cariloha Bamboo Two-Tone Bath Towels, you can say goodbye to unpleasant smells

Showers or baths offer a brief respite where you can literally and figuratively wash away the day. However, this moment of tranquility can easily be disrupted the minute you smell your towel. Keep the good vibes going with the perfectly plush and highly absorbent Cariloha Bamboo Two-Tone Bath Towels.
