These lightweight cotton towels are used in Turkish baths and, while they’re ideal for taking on holiday, they’re also pretty handy to use as guest towels too. They’re very absorbent and can double up as a sarong for the journey from bathroom to bedroom.
Also handy in the kitchen if you’re sick of wiping your hands on the tea towel.
These ones are from The White Company
We bought some gorgeous Hammam towels at the Fayence market in the South of France last year – they’re fantastic for beach/pool towels and wash really well – plus they look good.
