A Year of Coastal Sounds, Sunshine + Feel-Good Nostalgia

At Travel + Tide, we’re all about celebrating the slow, salty, sun-drenched lifestyle we love so much - and this year, we’re bringing something brand new to our community.

We’re so excited to introduce our Travel + Tide Monthly Spotify Playlists for 2026!
Each month, we’ll be releasing a curated playlist inspired by the Australian seasons, the coastal lifestyle, and that nostalgic feeling you get when a song instantly transports you to a moment in time.

Whether you’re packing for a beach day, unwinding after work, going for a road trip, styling your home with candles burning… there’s a playlist waiting to soundtrack it all.

January Playlist: Summer Salt + Sunshine

We’re kicking things off with a feel-good summer favourite - a breezy mix of coastal tracks blended with iconic classics from the 70s, 80s and 90s.

Expect:

• sun-kissed beach anthems

• warm acoustic favourites

• nostalgic throwbacks

• golden-hour energy

• chilled upbeat tracks perfect for warm nights

It’s the perfect soundtrack for:

• long beach days

• salty swims

• backyard BBQs

• poolside afternoons

• sunset drives

• or simply drifting into holiday mode

Why We Created These Playlists

Music plays such a beautiful part in shaping how we feel, and for so many of us, certain songs are tied to big coastal memories - road trips, summers growing up, long days by the water, and relaxed evenings with friends.

We wanted to bring that feeling into your everyday life.
So each month, you’ll receive a playlist inspired by the season:

• bright + summery for the warm months

• soft + nostalgic for autumn

• moody + cosy for winter

• light + fresh for spring

• festive + beachy for December

It’s our way of sharing a little more of the Travel + Tide lifestyle with you - wherever you are.

Join Us Each Month

We’ll share each playlist on:

• Instagram @travelandtide

• our email community

You can save the playlist to your Spotify library and listen anytime you want to bring a little more sunshine and coastal energy into your day.
