Faena Miami Beach is a magical place, a sort of “Vegas-themed” hotel that’s far enough away from the pulse of South Beach so guests can still claim their own beach chair—plus some personal space—yet unapologetically decadent when it comes to the details. (Baz Luhrmann designed it and Damien Hirst’s gilded woolly mammoth skeleton installation calls the garden home.) Regardless of the reason for a stay, the hotel’s spa, the Tierra Santa Healing House, says they field a lot of requests from guests regarding the oft-forgotten item of sunscreen. “People want anything with easy application,” says spa director Agustina Camino. “We sell many premium-branded sunscreens, but we have noticed that Hampton Sun SPF Continuous Mist ($12) is by far and away the most popular. It’s $32 and we can barely keep it in stock.”

Easy application is also a sticking point for guests staying at St. Croix’s Buccaneer in the Virgin Islands. The hottest ticket at the hotel: Aloe Up ($15), a nice-smelling, spray-on SPF that the staff says doesn’t harm the coral reefs.

Eco-friendly The Brando resort in French Polynesia provides their guests with complimentary sunscreen from the Algosun collection—a line that’s not only next-level eco-friendly, but a very popular item for stashing in suitcases for the trip home.

Epicuren X-Treme Cream Propolis Sunscreen SPF 45+ ($43) wins best-selling sunscreen at The Ranch at Laguna Beach, which the hotel says guests like because it’s totally invisible and contains vitamin C.
