If you've ever lugged a heavy, slow-drying beach towel to the beach only to spend the afternoon sitting on a damp, sandy mess — this page is for you.
Miss April's Turkish beach towels are a completely different experience. Handwoven in Turkey from 100% Oeko-Tex certified Turkish cotton, they're designed specifically for the way Australians actually spend their summers: at the beach, the pool, on road trips, and everywhere in between.
What Makes Turkish Beach Towels Better?
Standard terry-loop beach towels are thick, heavy, and slow to dry — which means they're soggy by the time you get back to your car, and they take up half your bag getting there. Turkish beach towels are woven in a flatter, tighter style that changes everything:
And of course, they look incredible. Our Flamenco range features bold, graphic stripes with hand-twisted tassels — the kind of beach towel that photographs beautifully and turns heads at the beach.
Premium Beach Towels Made the Right Way
Every Miss April beach towel is made with Oeko-Tex certified yarn — meaning no harmful chemicals, no synthetic shortcuts, and no compromise on the quality that goes against your skin. They're handwoven by skilled artisans in Turkey using traditional techniques, and made to last for years of summers.
This is what "premium beach towel" actually means — not just a marketing word, but a towel you'll still be reaching for five years from now.
Perfect for Travel Too
Because they pack down so small and dry so fast, our Turkish beach towels are a favourite with travellers. They fit into a carry-on, don't add meaningful weight to a pack, and dry overnight in a hotel room. Whether you're heading to Bali, the Greek Islands, or just down to Bondi — these towels earn their place in your bag.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size are Miss April Turkish beach towels?
Our Flamenco Turkish beach towels measure approximately 90cm x 180cm — a generous size for use as a beach towel, pool towel, or sarong wrap.
Are Turkish beach towels actually absorbent?
Yes — this is the most common surprise for first-time buyers. The flat weave of Turkish cotton is highly absorbent despite being lightweight, and the absorbency actually increases with each wash.
Are they good for travel?
Absolutely. They fold down small enough to fit in a daypack or carry-on, and dry overnight — making them one of the best travel towels for Australians heading overseas or interstate.
Do Turkish beach towels get softer over time?
Yes. Unlike regular cotton towels that rough up over time, Turkish cotton beach towels genuinely soften and become more absorbent with each wash.
Are your beach towels sand-free?
The flat weave means sand doesn't embed the way it does in looped terry towels — a quick shake is usually all it takes. They're not marketed as "sand-free" but they're significantly better than standard beach towels.
What is Oeko-Tex certified?
Oeko-Tex certification means the yarn used in our beach towels has been independently tested and verified to be free from harmful substances — safe for skin contact and better for the environment.
Do you ship beach towels across Australia?
Yes — free standard shipping Australia-wide on orders over $149. Our beach towels are $50 each (currently on sale from $65), so two towels qualify for free shipping.
