About Us | Sand-Free Beach Towels Australia | Nomadique → Yalivon
Nomadique Co makes Australia's best sand-free beach towels with pockets — lightweight, quick-dry and built for people who are always going somewhere. We're in an exciting new chapter: Nomadique is becoming Yalivon, a fresh name for the same love of travel-ready beach gear.
Where it started
Every Nomadique product began with a real frustration: dragging a heavy, sandy, pocket-free towel across an airport or beach — and wondering why something this essential was still so badly designed.
We wanted the best travel towel for real trips: something that shakes off sand, dries in minutes, rolls into a carry-on without a second thought, and actually has somewhere safe to put your phone. So we built it ourselves. That towel — the original sand-free beach towel with pocket — became the product Australians kept coming back for, and the foundation everything else was built on.
What makes our towels different
Not all beach towels with pockets are created equal. Ours are engineered around the way travellers and beach-lovers actually use them:
- Genuinely sand-free — the microfibre weave repels sand so you can shake it off rather than carry it home.
- Water-resistant zip pocket — fits your phone, keys, cards and cash. Big enough to be useful; secure enough to actually trust at the beach.
- Built-in pegs — keeps the towel anchored on windy days so you can actually relax.
- Quick-dry microfibre — dries significantly faster than cotton, so you're not stuffing a damp towel into your bag.
- Lightweight and packable — weighs less than most paperbacks and folds small enough for a day bag or carry-on.
- Standard and XL sizes — the standard (from $48 AUD) is your everyday companion; the XL ($89 AUD) is for when you want full stretch-out space.
Destination-inspired designs
Each towel is named after a place that shaped the brief — Phuket, Santorini, Canggu, Noosa, Ibiza, Capri. The prints are bold without being loud, designed to look as good in a photo as they feel in person. Because the best travel towels shouldn't make you choose between function and style.
A note on our new name: Nomadique is evolving into Yalivon. Same obsession with building better beach and travel gear, new name that carries us into the next chapter. If you've loved Nomadique, you're going to love what Yalivon has in store.
You may see both names as we transition. Nomadique and Yalivon are the same brand and team — any references to Nomadique online point to Yalivon.
Proudly Australian, built for everywhere
The sand-free beach towel Australia relies on has always been at the heart of what we do. But our customers take their towels everywhere — Bali, the Greek islands, Southeast Asia, the South of France. The best travel towels earn their name by performing in every country, not just one.
Common questions
What is a sand-free beach towel and how does it work?
A sand-free beach towel is made from a tightly woven microfibre that sand cannot easily cling to. When you shake the towel, sand falls straight off rather than embedding in the fibres the way it does in cotton. Nomadique (Yalivon) beach towels use this microfibre construction so you can dry off, lie down and pack up without bringing the beach home with you.
Do your beach towels with pockets actually fit a phone?
Yes. The zip pocket on every Nomadique (Yalivon) beach towel is sized to fit modern smartphones, and the pocket material is water-resistant so it handles splashes. It also fits keys, cards and cash — everything you'd normally leave unattended on a towel.
What are the best travel towels for Australia and overseas trips?
The best travel towels are lightweight, pack small, dry fast and don't hold sand. Nomadique — now Yalivon — towels tick every box: quick-dry microfibre, packable design, built-in pegs and a water-resistant pocket. Available in standard ($48 AUD) and XL ($89 AUD), shipping from Australia.
Is Nomadique the same as Yalivon?
Yes. Nomadique Co is rebranding to Yalivon. It's the same Australian team, the same products and the same commitment to making the best sand-free beach towels and travel accessories — just under a new name. All references to Nomadique online point to Yalivon.
