Default Any options a must?

Off to sort out a XC90 R Design Pro in the morning.

What (if any) options are the "must have's"?
At the moment, I'm certain I want the Xenium pack but that's the only option that I have my heart set on.

What else is worth a go?

Cheers

Really depends on you.

I didn't go for Pro pack, but did spec (almost) everything else.

Harmon Kardon (or B&W if feeling flush).
7 seat Comfort Pack (if you value your passengers).
Full Leather (if you've kids)
Xenium Pack (also needs Intellisafe Pack).
Heated Rear Seats, my kids love them and I want them to enjoy the car too.

I know B&W is expensive, but man it sounds goood..... If I were you, I'd spec it for sure. Also after using 360° cameras for 4 months now, I would say its the best option on the car. But it's very expensive, so unless you park often in tight spaces, its bit too much. But if you do park in tight spaces, very very suggested. Adaptive headlights are also a must (I'd say that for any car as that's also safety feature) otherwise that's it from my side. I also love AWD but not sure you need that.

I've been given a few options to consider my my local dealer - all cars are available from stock...

All are R Design Pro T8's

Option 1: Intellisafe, Xenium, Thunder Grey

Option 2: Intellisafe, Xenium, Family Pack, Crystal White

Option 3: Intellisafe, Xenium, Family Pack, HK Sound, Rear Heated Seats, Ice White

The Ice white is my least favorite but has the most options

Only absolute "must have" for me would be the 360 degree camera, included as part of the Xenium pack.

I agree. 360 degree camera, HUD and Intellisafe Pro are the most useful options for me.

What about the air suspension? I donˋt remember if it is included in the pro or not, but if it isn't and you afford it, i highly recommend it.

Pro pack for the price you get it is a must.
In any other country, your country's pro pack is a set of features that sum up to > 5k. Just the four-c alone is a >2.5k feature.

Seats: if you plan to do long voyages during your holidays to hot countries then you should choose the perforated seats. I missed that option and I still regret it today if the thermometer outside goes above 25º C. If not, skip this option.

Sound: I would skip bowers and wilkens but I would include the Harman Kardon kit. Big difference from the standard sound.

Xenium pack: also have it and is a must.

Intellisafe surround: also a must. XC90 is a big car and you will need all these type of aids to help you.
