What Is A Fouta Towel?
In Arabic, "Fouta" translates to "towel." If you’ve traveled across the Mediterranean, Turkey, Tunisia, Morocco, or Greece, you’ve likely encountered these versatile textiles used in many ways. Whether as a beach cover-up, bedding, towel, or shawl, these stunning fabrics have been part of a rich tradition for centuries!
Fouta towels have been loomed for centuries in Tunisia and are becoming known as the best bath towels worldwide! Originally used in Turkish baths as towels and sarongs, they are often known as "Turkish" towels or Spa bath towels. Known as "Pesthemal" in Turkey, these traditional towels should always be made of 100% cotton to assure absorbency and softness, making them the softest bath and beach towels.
Super absorbent and easy to store, these towels are used in myriad applications throughout Europe and the Mediterranean. Hotels quickly realized the energy and space these thin and lightweight towels were saving them. They use them as decor accents on furniture, but mostly poolside and in bathrooms for their discerning customers.
The bigger sizes were designed as sheets for beds, as well as for the beach, cabana, and tablecloths.
Our XXL Fouta bedspread collections are designed for the American market and will cover queen and king-size beds.
Made from 100% long-thread cotton, these towels become softer and more absorbent with washing, making them the best bath, beach, pool, and travel towels you will ever use. Their tight weave makes them super durable and sand-resistant!
Our collection offers recycled and organic cotton; both are absorbent and soft. The recycled cotton collections feature a flat weave, while the organic collections utilize a damask weave, providing a more luxurious sensation—definitely the softest bath towel. This is why we often recommend the flat weave for the beach and the organic collection for the bathroom. Both styles are very effective, as they are sand-resistant towels and high-quality options thanks to their tight weave and natural fibers. Our cotton is recycled in Europe and shipped to Tunisia.
Your Fouta towel is the first item you'll pack for a trip. It's super lightweight and easy to pack. Versatile, it can be worn as a shawl, a scarf, or a wrap. You can also use it as a blanket on the plane or as a cover-up in a church or restaurant.
With a super-tight, flat design, they instantly release sand and pet hair! Say goodbye to bulky, sandy towels that take up space in your beach bag and never dry. Fouta towels are the best sand-free beach towels and can also be worn!
They dry fast and are ideal for boats, pools, and bathrooms, making them great Energy savers.
