The Best Bath Towels to Make Your Bathroom Feel More Like a Spa

Sometimes, it’s the little luxuries that make all the difference. Like, for example, investing in the best bath towels for your bathroom: anyone can admit that wrapping yourself in a soft, tactical fabric after a shower evokes a lovely feeling of five-star hotel rooms or a relaxing spa day, even if your reality is far from it. Sure, outside those bathroom doors may be an unfolded pile of laundry, 870,502 unread emails, and dishes in the sink, but right now you’re warm, cozy, and swaddled. And with showers playing a bigger role as a place of respite in our more homebound lives, the best bath towels complete the experience.

So we decided to round up our favorite selection of bath towels, from waffle weaves to Egyptian cotton to classic terrycloth. There are plenty of options for those who want to keep it simple—can’t go wrong with white and fluffy—but don’t rule out something with a flair. Serena and Lily, for example, offers blue-and-white striped options perfect for the beachy home, whereas Yves Delorme’s are adorned with playful palmeral prints.

Below, 18 choices for the best bath towel. (Pair them with a comfy robe—the perfect ensemble to wear around the house.)
