Summer’s nearly here, so naturally, the beach is calling. Is there anything better than reading a good book on the beach, bringing some snacks for a picnic by the water or lounging poolside with a cool beverage in hand? We don’t think so.

So with another Aussie summer just around the corner, we thought we would help you out and put together a list of the most Instagram-worthy beach towels that you NEED for this summer (we’re not biased at all, obviously).

Whether you’ve researched it or it’s all anecdotal, you know that you need water to survive an Aussie summer. Both the drinking kind, and the swimming kind. Whether you’re lucky enough to live along the coastline with a beach at your fingertips or you have to make a family road trip to a local waterfall, dam or swimming pool — one thing’s for sure, there’s nothing better than emerging yourself in a cool change of scenery and floating away from the day to day. Even if only for a moment. 

Another summer essential? The humble towel. And with the younger generations (which we’re a part of, sorry) snapping pictures everywhere you turn, any old towel just won’t do. 

Whether you like it or not, we live in the age of Instagram, so being ready for the latest Insta shot is essential. So get ready for your close-up (of your towel) and peruse through our list of the most Instagram-worthy towels for this summer.

Suli Rocks Beach Towel Poncho


It wouldn’t be a list of made-for-Instagram beach towels without this towel poncho. You heard that correctly, an adult-size wearable robe… with a hood. Who says children should have all the fun?

Crafted in Turkey using 100% cotton fabric, this towel is equal parts luxury and practicality. The rich colour alone makes it great for a selfie (especially if you have green eyes, like moi).

 

Suli Rocks Oversized Beach Towel


Number two on our list of Instagram-worthy beach towels… is the sister towel of the above option, minus the hood — for those who like to keep it simple without compromising on style. This generously sized towel features a rich green design, with a high-low technique and is crafted in Turkey with soft, lightweight cotton. 

Whether laid out against the grass (a green-on-green shot will look lush), or against the sand, these details will look great in a pic.

Reef Water Beach Towel

The Reef Water Beach Towel is made for the ‘gram — a hammam-style towel coming in two stylish colourways (flax and iced aqua); all that’s left for you to do is pick your favourite one. The bold colour blocking makes it look sleek and contemporary; great for a poolside pic.

Northcove Beach Towel
