Changing Robes
If you don’t want a big, bulky and heavy changing robe all our changing robes are manufactured from our 100% cotton Turkish hammam towels, like our towels they are lightweight (less than 1kg), highly absorbent, quick drying and compact.
However, many of our wild/open water swimmers also intend to wear our changing robes under their big bulky items so that our robes dry them beforehand and can be washed easily.

Hammam Beach Towels
First of all, welcome and thank you for visiting our website to view our range of hammam beach towels. Just to let you know we now offer a FREE UK delivery service when you spend £50 or more.
What are hammam towels? They are an incredibly versatile rectangle of woven colourful 100 % cotton (no environmentally damaging micro-fibre plastics) multi-functional towels that you can use for whatever purpose you see fit.
A hammam beach towel comes into its own when the sun shines. This lightweight and fast-drying piece will see you through spring, summer, and for years to come, used as a picnic blanket, a beach towel, a sarong, or even an outdoor tablecloth.
During autumn and winter, they are still highly versatile whether you’re at a gym or an indoor swimmer. Also, so many people travel abroad to escape to the sun and may only take hand/cabin luggage, so again perfect.
But it’s equally at home brightening up the bathroom any time of year (minimalists, avert your eyes: these striking tasselled textiles come in an array of colours and patterns and look great when mixed and matched).
Also known as a peshtemal, fouta or kikoy, the hammam towel, crafted in flat-woven cotton, has ancient design roots.
Traditionally, the towels were used in the steamiest Turkish baths and boast hard-wearing properties ideal for humid conditions and have been around for centuries.
Here are just some of the uses our customers have found for them:
- Swimming Towel
- Beach Towel
- Travel Towel
- Cabin/Hand Luggage
- Gym Towel
- Camping Towel
- Motorhome Towel
- Watersports Towel
- Festival Towel
- Throw
- Wrap
- Shawl
- Scarf
- Sarong
- Gift
Forget terry towelling or microfiber towels. If you want fast-drying lightweight, highly versatile, absorbency multi-function towels, hammam towels are ideal for anyone who gets wet. Perfect for home or holidays, the ultimate travel companion. There’s nothing better than an easy washable, fast-drying hammam towel.
The history of the hammam towel is undeniably rich. Dating back centuries, hammam towels were originally used in ancient bath houses in the Mediterranean and the Middle East. As opposed to the heavy towels many of us use day to day, hammam towels are crafted from lightly woven cotton. Once you have used one you will wonder why you never had one before. They are like drying yourself on a giant tea towel.
OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100

Love the beach?
Owning a hammam towel means you will always be beach ready. Ideal for lying on to take in a few rays or to cover yourself with to protect from the rays.
