A sauna towel is much more than just a large towel – it is your personal retreat in the sauna, the spa and the thermal baths. With us you will find your sauna towel that feels high-quality, accompanies you reliably and gives you a bit of security and well-being on every visit. Every sauna towel in our range is deliberately chosen: 100 % cotton, a pleasant feel and designs that look calm but are special in the details.
What is a sauna towel and why is it worth buying?
A sauna towel is a large, highly absorbent towel that accompanies you in the sauna – for lying on, wrapping up and drying off. Unlike a normal towel, a sauna towel is longer and wider, so you can sit or lie on it comfortably without direct contact with the benches. If you regularly go to the sauna, spa or thermal baths, a high-quality sauna towel makes you feel comfortable, well prepared and a little bit “at home” from the very start. Instead of compromising with old, too small or heavy towels, you invest in a sauna towel that genuinely makes your time out easier.
The different types of sauna towels
A sauna towel can be light, especially absorbent or extra large – depending on what matters to you. There are simple, understated designs that look good in any sauna, as well as more eye-catching versions that let you recognise your sauna towel straight away. Some sauna towels are deliberately thinner and quicker to dry, others feel a little more voluminous and cosy. It is important to us that you find a sauna towel that not only suits you visually but also feels right in terms of feel and weight.
Sauna towels for classic sauna and thermal bath visits
For classic sauna sessions, the ideal sauna towel is long and wide enough to cover the entire lounger. It should absorb moisture well without immediately feeling heavy, and feel pleasant on bare skin. When you move between the sauna, steam room and relaxation room, you want to be able to rely on your sauna towel – it should be your small, clean comfort zone where you can relax.
Sauna towels for the spa, wellness hotel and home
A sauna towel accompanies you not only to public saunas but also to wellness hotels, spas or your own bathroom at home. Here it is especially nice if your sauna towel visually enhances your relaxation zone while being easy to care for. A good sauna towel can be used flexibly in all these situations: for wrapping up, as an underlay in the relaxation room or as a large, soft towel after a bath.
What to look for when buying a sauna towel
When buying a sauna towel, size, material and feel are decisive. Make sure your sauna towel is long enough to cover the entire lounger in the sauna and wide enough to give you enough room. A sauna towel made of 100 % cotton feels pleasant on the skin, is breathable and reliably absorbent. It is also important that the sauna towel is neither too heavy nor too thin – it should give you a sense of security without feeling bulky. Clean workmanship, sturdy edges and a fabric structure that feels neither scratchy nor cheap are clear signs of quality.
Sauna towels for the way you use them
Your sauna towel should fit into your everyday life: maybe you go to the sauna regularly, like to visit wellness hotels or want to create a little spa moment at home. A well-chosen sauna towel goes with you to all of these places. If you use the sauna often, a sauna towel that dries quickly and doesn’t feel unpleasantly cool even after several rounds makes sense. If you take your sauna towel on holiday or a weekend trip, a lightweight model that packs easily into your suitcase is ideal. We make sure that every sauna towel in our shop meets these requirements not just in theory, but in real everyday use.

Benefits of a high-quality sauna towel
A high-quality sauna towel makes a noticeable difference in the sauna. It slips less, still feels pleasant after sitting or lying for a long time and gives you the feeling of having truly “arrived”. Unlike cheap, often random-looking towels, a well-made sauna towel keeps its shape, softness and look over many sauna sessions. You need to worry less about whether your textiles will keep up – and can turn your attention back to what the sauna is really about: calm, recovery and time for yourself.
Using and caring for your sauna towel
In the sauna, lay out your sauna towel so that your whole body fits on it – ideally without touching the wood directly. You can sit or lie on it, or wrap yourself in your sauna towel when moving around between sessions. After your sauna day, let your sauna towel dry well and then wash it. Wash it at suitable temperatures with similar colours and ideally without harsh fabric softeners, so the fibres stay soft and absorbent. A high-quality sauna towel dries relatively quickly, both on the line and in the dryer at low temperatures, so it is ready for your next visit without any fuss.

Is a sauna towel compulsory in the sauna?
In most public saunas the rule is: no sweat on the wood. That’s why a towel to sit or lie on is required almost everywhere. You’ll find the exact rules in your sauna’s house rules.
How do I stop my sauna towel from slipping on the lounger?
With the Hamam Towel Ocean StayOn: The sewn-in pocket slips over the backrest of the lounger, so the towel stays in place – even when you get up or turn over.
What exactly is a sauna towel and what do I use it for?
A sauna towel is an extra-large, absorbent towel that you use in the sauna, at the thermal baths or in the spa. You lay it on the sauna bench to sit or lie hygienically and comfortably, and you can wrap yourself in it or dry off with it after showering. It accompanies you throughout your whole sauna day.
How can I recognise a high-quality sauna towel when shopping online?
Look for details such as 100 % cotton, a sensible size for sauna and thermal baths, and informative close-up images. A high-quality sauna towel feels soft and dense, yet still pleasantly easy to handle. Good workmanship, clean edges and honest product descriptions are further signs that you can rely on the sauna towel.
What types of sauna towels are there and how do they differ?
Sauna towels come in different sizes, thicknesses and designs. Some are particularly large and wide, others a little more compact. Some sauna towels are lighter and quicker to dry, others feel more voluminous and warmer. Depending on your personal preference, you can choose whether size, lightness or cosiness matters most to you.
Who is a sauna towel particularly well suited to?
A sauna towel is suitable for anyone who likes going to the sauna, spa or thermal baths. Anyone who enjoys long, hot baths at home or deliberately plans time to rest also benefits from having their own sauna towel. It is ideal if you value hygiene, comfort and an overall sense of harmony in your wellness moments.
How do I use and care for a sauna towel properly?
In the sauna, lay your sauna towel on the bench so that your body lies or sits on it completely. After the sauna session, let it dry thoroughly and wash it at suitable temperatures with similar colours. Avoid harsh detergents and strong fabric softeners so that your sauna towel keeps its absorbency and softness.

What can I use a sauna towel for in everyday life?

This way your sauna towel accompanies you on many of your little breaks and makes them a bit more comfortable and mindful.
How does a sauna towel differ from a hamam towel or a normal towel?
A sauna towel is usually larger than a normal towel and gives you more surface area in the sauna. Compared with a hamam towel, a classic sauna towel is often somewhat more voluminous, while a hamam towel is especially light and quick-drying. The two complement each other well if you want a flexible set for sauna, spa and travel.
