Hamam towels: lightweight, large and quick-drying

Looking for a sauna towel or hamam towel that dries quickly, weighs very little and fits compactly into your bag? Our hamam towels are woven fair-trade in Turkish and Tunisian family ateliers using OEKO-TEX® certified cotton. Soft, highly absorbent and ideal for sauna, wellness and beach days. Many models are extra long (around 180–200 cm), so you can sit or lie comfortably.

Why choose a hamam towel?

  • Quick-drying & absorbent – ready again for the next sauna round.
  • Lightweight – easy to carry in your sauna, sports or weekend bag.
  • Large size – comfortable to lie on or wrap around you.
  • Versatile – perfect as a sauna towel, beach towel or travel towel.

Which size suits you best?

Choose between standard lengths (180–190 cm) or extra-large (200–210 cm). Pick a large hamam towel if you want plenty of room to wrap or lie down.

Tip: Using it mainly as a lie-down towel? Go for the extra-long 200 cm models. Prefer ultra-light and super compact for travel or sports? Choose the standard size.

Mix & match with bathrobes, kimonos and ponchos

All our hamam bathrobes and sauna & beach ponchos are made from the same Turkish hamam towels. They require a lot of handwork, which is exactly what makes them so special. From leftover fabric we create matching toiletry bags — nothing goes to waste.

Material, packaging and production

  • OEKO-TEX® certified cotton: soft on the skin and free from harmful substances.

  • Sustainable packaging: carefully packed in biodegradable protective film for storage and transport.

How to keep your hamam towel beautiful

  • Wash at 30–40 °C with a mild detergent.
  • No fabric softener (reduces absorbency).
  • Preferably air-dry – it dries quickly and is much more sustainable.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a hamam towel, sauna towel and spa towel?

In practice, there is no difference — three names for the same type of towel. Thanks to their low weight, fast drying and great absorbency, hamam towels are ideal for sauna and wellness. You’ll see the ZusenZomer hamam towel often in saunas — just watch!

Is a hamam towel really suitable for the sauna?

Yes. A hamam towel is light, quick-drying and highly absorbent — perfect as a wrap towel or lie-down towel. It dries fast between sauna rounds.

Which size do you recommend for sauna or beach?

For the beach, choose a length that matches your height so your feet aren’t in the sand. For sauna use, where you want to dry off and wrap up, the standard size (180 cm) is more than enough. If you prefer extra length, check out our range of XL hamam towels.

Does my hamam towel match your bathrobes and ponchos?

Yes. Mix & match with our sauna/hamam bathrobes.
