Burkinis

A burkini should let you swim — really swim — without a second thought. Ours are cut from quick-dry swim fabric with the three problems every burkini owner knows in mind: ballooning in the water, clinging when wet, and turning heavy on the walk out.

Each Hiabaya burkini is a complete three-piece system: a full-coverage top with an elegant, athletic silhouette; swim leggings with a secure high waist; and a matching swim hijab. The fabric is chlorine-resistant and quick-drying.

Designed in Scandinavia, our burkinis come in clean lines and muted tones — deep navy, black, stone, sage — alongside a small edit of printed sport sets for when you want colour. Coverage options range from full classic coverage to lighter hybrid cuts, so you choose the level that's right for you.

For pools, beaches, waterparks, swimming lessons and holidays — swim first, everything else second.

Burkini swimwear: full coverage for the pool and the beach

A burkini is a full-coverage swimsuit, usually a long swim tunic, swim leggings and a swim hijab, so you can swim, play and relax with your body, arms and hair covered. Our burkini sets come in loose cuts that don't cling and in calm colours and prints, in quick-dry swim fabric; most sets are also chlorine- and salt-resistant, as noted on each product.

Choose your burkini

The long sleeve burkini and the sport burkini are classic three-piece sets with a swim hijab. The wrap skirt, ring-detail and ruched burkinis add a defined waist and come with a swim turban. Want more coverage? The full coverage burkini with swim hood goes up to 6XL, and the long burkini swim dress falls below the knee. For warm days there's a short sleeve burkini, and the long sleeve swimsuit with hood is a one-piece option.

Frequently asked questions

What is a burkini?

A burkini is a modest swimsuit that covers the body from head to ankle — typically a long-sleeve tunic top, leggings and a swim hijab — made from swim fabric so you can swim freely in pools and the sea.

Are burkinis allowed in public pools?

In the UK, Germany, Sweden and most of Europe, yes — pools accept swimwear made from proper swim fabric. Some French municipal pools have local rules; check ahead when travelling. Our burkinis are made from proper swim fabric, not cotton.

How should a burkini fit?

The top should be relaxed but not baggy, the leggings snug like sports leggings, and the hijab close-fitting so it stays in place. Size down on the top for a sportier fit.

Do you sell burkinis in plus sizes?

Yes — several sets run to 3XL and beyond. See the plus size swimwear edit and the size chart on each product.
