Hammam towels have been a staple of self-care rituals across Turkey, Morocco and the Eastern Mediterranean for generations — lightweight enough to travel with you, quick to dry, and increasingly beloved in British bathrooms for exactly the same reasons. Our spa towels collection gathers Hammam-style pieces in a generous 90x170cm size, each woven to be absorbent, compact and long-loved. They are the kind of towel that feels better with every wash.
What's inside the collection
Each spa towel in this range is crafted in a flat-woven Hammam style — a tight, lightweight weave that absorbs moisture efficiently without the bulk of traditional terry cloth. The 90x170cm dimensions offer real coverage: large enough to wrap, tie or lounge in, yet compact enough to pack into a gym bag, a beach bag or a suitcase without fuss. Expect a smooth, textured surface that softens beautifully over time. The five colourways — ocean blue, sunset pink, yellow and two further neutral tones — are chosen to sit comfortably alongside the rest of a natural bathroom palette.
How to choose your Hammam towel
These spa and bath towels work equally well as your primary bathroom towel or as a supplement to your existing setup. Because they dry quickly — significantly faster than conventional cotton towels — they are particularly well suited to smaller bathrooms, humid spaces or anyone who dislikes the heavy, damp feel of thick towelling. The handwoven quality of the weave gives each piece a slightly individual character; if you appreciate honest, tactile textiles over perfectly uniform finishes, Hammam towels tend to reward that preference. Pair a deep ocean blue or rich yellow with neutral tiles, or choose a soft pink for a gentler, calmer bathroom mood.
Ways to use your spa towel
Beyond the bathroom, these towels serve well as a post-shower wrap, a poolside companion, a yoga mat cover or a lightweight travel throw. Their versatility is part of the appeal: a single Hammam towel can replace several bulkier items in your linen cupboard. For a full self-care ritual, pair your towel with shower steamers to soften the skin beforehand, or follow with a bath soak for a longer soak and a more indulgent routine. Browse our bath bombs and fizzers for occasional treats, or see the wider bathroom accessories range to complete the scene.
Frequently asked questions
What is a Hammam towel and how is it different from a regular towel?
A Hammam towel is woven in a flat, open style rather than the looped terry weave of a conventional bathroom towel. This makes it considerably lighter and more compact, and it dries much more quickly. Despite the lighter weight, it absorbs moisture effectively — many people find it more than adequate for daily use, and it softens further with each wash.
What size are these spa towels?
All towels in this collection are 90x170cm. This is a generous mid-size — larger than a typical hand towel, smaller than a full bath sheet — and works well for most adults. It is also the traditional dimension for Hammam towels, giving enough fabric to wrap comfortably around the body.
How do I care for my Hammam towel?
Wash at 30–40°C with a gentle detergent. Avoid fabric softener, as it can coat the fibres and reduce absorbency over time. Line drying is ideal; if using a tumble dryer, keep it on a low heat. Your towel will feel slightly crisp after first washing — this is normal and it will soften quickly with use and subsequent washes.
Are these handwoven towels?
The Hammam-style towels in this collection carry the qualities associated with handwoven textiles — a slightly individual texture and character that machine-made terry cloth does not offer. The exact weaving method may vary by piece, but the overall character is consistent with the traditional handwoven approach to this style.
Can I use these spa towels for purposes other than drying off?
Yes. Their compact nature makes them excellent travel towels, beach towels, yoga mat covers or even lightweight throws. Many customers keep one in a gym bag or overnight case as a versatile, quick-dry alternative to bulkier options.
