Beach towels are designed for the seaside, swimming pool and any occasion where you need a generous surface for drying off or relaxing. At Corredo Italiano, you will find towels in cotton terry, Fast Dry microfibre and 100% cotton fouta, as well as velour and jacquard styles in different sizes and constructions. Choose according to absorbency, weight, bulk, dimensions and intended use.
When choosing a beach towel, start by considering how it will be used. For a day at the beach, a generous surface can be useful for lying on the sand or a sun lounger, while for swimming pools, gyms and travel, low weight and easy portability may be more important.
Fabric construction also affects the characteristics of the towel. Cotton terry provides a traditional, absorbent surface, Fast Dry microfibre focuses on lightness and quick drying, while a cotton fouta has a thinner and more compact construction and can also be worn as a pareo.
Cotton terry is one of the most widely used constructions for beach towels. Its looped surface increases the contact area with water and provides good absorbency, while fabric weight and density influence the towel's overall feel and bulk.
The category includes several 100% cotton styles, including 70×140 cm towels and larger 90×170 cm models. Some cotton terry jacquard and chenille styles feature a more decorative construction and GSM levels of around 450 g/m².
This type of towel can be used at the beach, swimming pool, spa or after a shower or bath, providing a generous drying surface in a format that is still easy to fold and carry.
Fast Dry microfibre beach towels are designed for those who place particular importance on light weight, compact storage and quick drying. Their reduced bulk makes them easy to carry in a beach, swimming or gym bag and simplifies handling between uses.
The category includes several 70×140 cm Fast Dry models, made from 100% polyester, including designs suitable for younger users. Their lightweight construction is particularly practical when the towel needs to be transported frequently or washed regularly during the summer season.
When comparing these models with traditional terry towels, it is useful to consider the balance between absorbency, weight, bulk and drying time.
A fouta is a cotton textile with a generally thinner and more compact construction than terry. It can be used as a beach towel, on a sun lounger or as a pareo wrapped around the waist.
The collection includes 100% cotton fouta towels, including Egyptian cotton styles with knotted side fringes. One model in the category measures approximately 85×165 cm and can be used both at the beach and swimming pool.
Its compact construction makes a fouta particularly convenient when you want to minimise the space taken up in your bag and use one textile in different ways throughout the day.
The size should be selected according to the intended use. A format such as 70×140 cm is practical for the beach, swimming pool and sports use, while dimensions such as 85×165 or 90×170 cm provide more space for lying down or wrapping around the body.
A larger towel naturally takes up more room in your bag and requires more fabric to wash and dry. A more compact format, on the other hand, may be easier to transport and manage when travelling frequently.
Before buying, consider the balance between usable surface, available bag space and intended use.
These three constructions are suited to different needs:
There is no universally best material. The right choice depends on the balance you prefer between absorbency, weight, bulk, drying time and versatility.
Some towels in the collection use constructions other than simple plain terry. Velour has a specially finished surface that changes the appearance and feel of the fabric, while jacquard allows patterns and designs to be incorporated directly into the textile structure.
The collection includes chenille jacquard cotton terry styles measuring approximately 90×170 cm and weighing around 450 g/m². These characteristics make them suitable for anyone who considers visual appeal as important as everyday practicality.
A beach towel can be used in many situations beyond the beach. Cotton terry models are also suitable for swimming pools, spas and after showering, while lightweight microfibre styles can be particularly practical for gyms and sports activities.
For travel and frequent trips, weight and bulk become especially important factors. In these situations, a Fast Dry microfibre towel or compact fouta can be easier to carry than a heavier terry towel.
The main category includes towels for different uses, while Corredo Italiano also offers a dedicated Beach Towels for Children category. It includes styles specifically designed for younger users, with dedicated sizes and designs, including several Disney and Marvel Fast Dry microfibre towels measuring 70×140 cm.
This structure keeps the main category focused while directing customers specifically looking for a children's beach towel to the dedicated section.
Beach towels are exposed to sand, salt water, chlorine and frequent washing during the summer season. Always follow the care instructions on the individual product label, particularly regarding washing temperature, cycle and drying method.
Before washing, remove any visible sand from the fabric. Cotton terry towels should be allowed to dry completely, while Fast Dry microfibre should be cared for according to the manufacturer's specific instructions to preserve its drying characteristics.

Children's styles are also available in a dedicated category, keeping different shopping needs and search intents clearly separated.

The right choice mainly depends on how the towel will be used. Cotton terry is suitable for those looking for a more substantial construction and good absorbency, while Fast Dry microfibre prioritises lightness, compactness and quick drying. A cotton fouta has a thinner construction and can also be used as a pareo.
There is no single ideal size for every use. A format such as 70×140 cm is practical for the beach and swimming pool, while sizes such as 85×165 or 90×170 cm provide more space for lying down or wrapping around the body. The choice should also take into account the amount of space available in your beach or travel bag.
Not necessarily. A larger surface provides more room for lying down or wrapping around the body, but it also means greater weight, more bulk and more fabric to wash and dry. A more compact format may therefore be preferable for swimming pools, gyms and travel.
Performance depends on the specific fabric construction and product characteristics. Cotton terry has a looped surface designed to help absorb water, while Fast Dry microfibre focuses particularly on lightness and quick drying. When comparing two models, it is therefore useful to consider their composition, construction and GSM together.
Fast Dry microfibre can be particularly practical when the towel needs to be carried frequently or dried in a relatively short time. Its low weight and generally compact construction make it easier to manage in a beach, swimming or gym bag, especially when travelling.
A fouta is a cotton textile with a generally thinner and more compact construction than traditional terry. It can be used as a beach or pool towel, as a cover for a sun lounger or as a pareo. Its lightweight construction also makes it easy to fold, carry and store in a bag.
The main difference concerns intended use and product characteristics. A beach towel is generally chosen with size, weight, portability and outdoor use in mind, while a bath towel is primarily intended for everyday use after a shower or bath. However, some models can be used in both settings.
Dimensions only indicate the surface area of the textile. Overall weight also depends on GSM, thickness, fabric density, fibre composition and construction. A cotton terry towel and a microfibre towel of the same dimensions can therefore have significantly different weights.
Lightweight and compact models can be particularly practical for these uses. Fast Dry microfibre is useful when low weight and quick drying are priorities, while a fouta can be a good option when you want a versatile textile with reduced bulk. The size should also be chosen according to the available space in your bag.
Always follow the care instructions on the individual product label, particularly regarding washing temperature, cycle and drying method. Remove any visible sand before washing. Cotton terry towels should be allowed to dry completely, while Fast Dry microfibre should be cared for according to the manufacturer's specific instructions.
