Gifts for Water Women: The Swimwear They Actually Want

She’s the first in the water, the last to leave the ocean. She’s got a healthy wetsuit tan, lives in her swimmers, and doesn’t care for throwaway fashion. She’s not easy to shop for—but you know she’ll live in whatever you get right.

So, if you're hunting for the perfect gift for the ocean-loving woman in your life (or you are that woman sending this to someone with a hint), we’ve rounded up our go-to presents from Ocean Soul Swimwear. Designed to last, made to move, and built for life by the sea.

Here’s your ultimate gift guide for water women this Christmas.

1. The Sulawesi Long Sleeve in Midnight T (Now with Thumbholes)

Our bestselling long sleeve swimsuit just got even better. Midnight T offers UPF 50+ sun protection, sculpting compression, and a streamlined fit that stays put—no matter how wild the waves get. And now with thumbholes, it gives even more arm coverage and grip for surf, SUP, or freediving.

Why she’ll love it:

• It’s one of the few long sleeve suits that looks this good and performs under pressure
• Perfect for surf trips, long paddles, or just lounging ocean-side
• It won’t ride up, bag out, or fade with sun and salt

Gift tip: It’s a showstopper. Wrap it up with a sarong or zinc stick for a water-ready bundle she’ll actually use.

2. The Seamless Bikini Set – Bali Bikini Top + Sumba Bottoms

Supportive without wires, minimal without slipping-this set was made for women who move. The seamless design hugs the body without digging in, and the sporty triangle cut of the Bali bikini Top is ideal for everything from beach sprints to duck dives.

Why it makes a great gift:

• No metal hardware = comfy for flights, naps, and all-day wear
• Comes in classic, flattering cuts she’ll wear year-round
• A versatile pick for surfers, swimmers, and sun-chasers alike

Gift tip: Add it to a beach clutch with a visor and reef-safe sunscreen.

3. The Mentawai One Piece – Sculpted, Stylish, Sustainable

One of our most flattering designs, the Mentawai hugs the body with a double-lined, curve-loving cut and just the right amount of back coverage. It’s ideal for ocean swims, poolside cocktails, or layering under a skirt or linen pants.

Why she’ll love it:

• Looks incredible on all body types
• Italian eco-fabric that lasts longer than regular swimwear
• It’s the kind of piece that becomes an instant classic

Gift tip: Add a little Ocean Soul note card with “for sunset swims and salty hair” on it.

4. The Eco-Neoprene Spring Suit

Perfect for cooler waters, reef rash protection, or early morning surfs, our limestone neoprene Spring Suits are light, flexible, and ultra chic. With colour options like cherry red, titanium silver, or vibrant blue, it’s both performance and style wrapped in one.

Why she’ll thank you:

• Made from eco-prene + recycled lining
• Moves like a second skin
• Won’t fade or stretch out like cheaper wetsuit alternatives

Gift tip: Ideal for surfers, divers, and adventure-seekers. If she’s heading to the Mentawais or southern Australia, this is a hero piece.

5. Stocking Stuffers from the Shop

Looking for something smaller but still thoughtful? Our Berawa boutique in Bali has curated beach essentials that make beautiful add-ons:

• Lightweight sarongs in earthy tones
• Wide-brim visors
• Organic zinc sunscreen
• Waterproof clutch bags
• Gift vouchers (when you’re just not sure)
