Why We Developed the Perfect Travel Towel
At WOODSANDWAVES, we believe that travel towels are underrated textiles. After countless trips, days at the beach, and backpacking adventures, we knew exactly what features a microfiber travel towel needed to combine—and yet, the development process was more complicated than we expected.
A lightweight, compact, and quick-drying towel that doesn’t smell musty after just three uses or take up half your backpack—that was our goal. And it took us quite a while to get it right. After many prototypes, failed attempts, and improvements, it was finally here: our WOODSANDWAVES microfiber towel—lightweight, compact, quick-drying, and made from recycled materials. For us, it’s the perfect travel towel. And maybe soon for you, too!
Where you can buy a lightweight beach towel online
Sure, almost every discount store regularly has microfiber towels on sale. But if you want to enjoy your towel for a long time, we can tell you right now that a truly good beach towel is more than just a piece of fabric. Our WOODSANDWAVES microfiber towels are designed to accompany you not just for one summer—but for many. We use high-quality microfiber that’s exceptionally durable and still looks like new even after countless washes. No fraying, no fading—our towels retain their color and keep their shape.
In addition, all our towels are free of harmful substances and meet the highest quality standards. So you can dry off after swimming without hesitation—without worrying about harmful substances.
So if you’re looking for a durable, high-quality microfiber towel to accompany you on countless trips, WOODSANDWAVES is the perfect choice.
More beach, less sand: The towel that stays sand-free, guaranteed
As a vacationer and traveler, you love the sand—at least at the beach. But after a day at the beach, you’re ready to be done with the sand. Unfortunately, that was rarely the case on our trips. The finer the sand, the more of it we ended up bringing home—in our backpacks, in the car, and in the vacation rental.
That’s why we’ve designed our microfiber so that sand doesn’t stick in the first place. A quick shake is all it takes—and the sand falls right off. No tedious beating out, no sand in your luggage.
You don’t have to worry about care either: Our microfiber is easy to maintain; the towels can be washed at 30°C and remain soft and comfortable against the skin even after frequent washing.
The ideal backpacking towel—extra large, yet extra compact
When backpacking, camping, or traveling with a backpack, every gram counts—even when it comes to your towel. A heavy, damp towel that takes forever to dry or fills your backpack with sand is simply out of place.
Rain, high humidity, or super-fine sandy beaches—these are exactly the conditions that put a strain on your gear. A conventional towel quickly becomes a problem: it dries slowly, eventually starts to smell musty, and takes up valuable space in your backpack.
And our WOODSANDWAVES microfiber travel towel is up to exactly these challenges—lightweight, compact, quick-drying, and ready for any adventure.
The ideal backpacking towel—extra large, yet extra compact
We wanted a beach towel that could do more than just dry you off. On our travels, one thing always bothered us: Where do you put your valuables when you take a quick dip in the water? Bury your phone under the towel? Leave loose change in your swimsuit pocket? That doesn’t look like the ideal solution.
That’s why we’ve added a zippered pocket to our WOODSANDWAVES beach towel. For anything you want to store safely—whether it’s your phone, keys, or cash. Conveniently hidden, sandproof, and positioned so it doesn’t get in the way when you’re lying down.
Your new favorite beach towel – soft, plush, and perfect for the beach and pool
Cheap and affordable microfiber towels are practical—but we’ve all been there: they feel scratchy, stick to your skin, or leave an unpleasant, clammy feeling after drying off. That’s exactly what we wanted to improve.
The WOODSANDWAVES microfiber beach towel is ultra-soft and feels pleasantly gentle on the skin—almost like cotton, but with the benefits of modern microfiber. It’s so soft and absorbent that you can even dry your hair with it without it getting static or feeling straw-like.
Soft, absorbent, quick-drying—and guaranteed to be your new favorite beach towel.
Colorful, patterned, distressed, or simple. Discover vibrant designs & prints
A microfiber beach towel doesn’t have to look boring just because it’s practical. WOODSANDWAVES is changing that! Whether you like it bright and colorful, prefer elegant patterns, or would rather choose a simple, solid-color design—at WOODSANDWAVES you’ll find microfiber beach towels in your favorite designs.
Our colorful prints aren’t just eye-catching—they also stay vibrantly bright even after many washes. Thanks to the high-quality printing, the colors don’t fade—even in intense sunlight or with frequent washing.
Whether colorful patterns, geometric designs, or simple classics—our microfiber beach towels are the most stylish!
The extra-large beach towel – more space, more comfort, more vacation
Sometimes bigger is simply better—especially when it comes to beach towels. At 180x80 cm, our XXL microfiber beach towel offers enough space to stretch out comfortably without your feet ending up in the sand.
We originally started with a 160x80 cm version, but quickly realized: Many people want even more space. For taller people in particular, an extra-large beach towel is a real game-changer—finally enough space to lie down completely without your shoulders or legs hanging over the edge. And even those who simply want more room to relax will quickly appreciate the added comfort.
