Club Moda's beach cover-ups are designed for the transition — from the pool to the bar, from the beach to the café, from morning coffee to a casual lunch with a view. Each swimsuit cover-up is lightweight enough to carry in a beach bag, opaque enough to wear confidently away from the water, and styled to coordinate with our bikini sets and one-piece swimwear.

How to Choose the Right Beach Cover-Up
For pool-to-bar transitions, choose a kaftan or kimono that's opaque enough to wear to lunch without anything underneath (or paired with shorts). For beach days with sun exposure, a longer tunic or UV-protective fabric gives better coverage. For resort evenings, sheer chiffon cover-up dresses layer beautifully over swimwear or a bodysuit. Crochet styles are best as decorative, lightweight layering pieces rather than full coverage.
Frequently Asked Questions — Beach Cover-Ups
What is the best beach cover-up for a Caribbean cruise?
For a Caribbean cruise, a kaftan or kimono-style cover-up in a bold tropical print is the most versatile choice. It works as a pool deck cover-up, a casual lunch dress on the ship, a lightweight layer for excursions in hot ports, and a relaxed dinner outfit on informal nights. Choose a style in wrinkle-resistant rayon or polyester that packs flat in a carry-on and shakes out in the stateroom.
Can I wear a beach cover-up as a regular dress?
Yes — many of our cover-ups double as casual dresses when worn with sandals, a sun hat, and beach accessories. Kaftan-style cover-ups in particular are designed to work as both pool cover-ups and casual resort dresses. Our sheer chiffon styles work best as layering pieces over swimwear or a bodysuit, while opaque cotton and rayon styles can be worn as standalone dresses.
What's the difference between a kaftan and a beach cover-up?
A kaftan (or caftan) is a loose, flowing dress with wide sleeves that originated in the Middle East and now serves as a luxury resort wear staple. A beach cover-up is a broader category that includes kaftans, kimonos, sheer wraps, crochet styles, and any garment designed to layer over swimwear. All kaftans can function as cover-ups, but not all cover-ups are kaftans. Club Moda's kaftan cover-ups are the most versatile option — opaque enough to wear as dresses and styled for resort evenings, not just the beach.
What sizes are available?
