Hotels and resorts are notoriously bad for vegans. With very meat-centric breakfast buffets, we’re often left to graze on dry toast and fruit salad.
For me, the smell that wafts out of most hotel restaurants is enough to put me off staying there. This is why I’ve mostly bypassed hotels since turning vegan, opting for self-catered apartments instead.
But I have good news, the hospitality industry is evolving! There are now a plethora of vegan hotels dotted around the world. They have all of the beauty and charm of high-end hotels but with none of the animal products. You can eat to your heart’s content whilst sipping on a plant-based cocktail, or two.

My selection process
When it came to selecting the vegan hotels and resorts that were to be included in this roundup I used the following criteria:
- 100% vegan: There are many popular vegan-friendly hotels and resorts that I haven’t included here because I want to promote fully vegan establishments. For example, I have left off the very popular The Farm at San Benito (Philippines), because whilst they have a vegan restaurant on-site, they also have a vegetarian and pescatarian restaurant.
- Well-rated: I have made sure to only include vegan hotels that are well-rated, both by customers and official reviewers.
- Variety of locations: I want to give options to people all around the world. Whilst I can’t choose where the vegan hotels are located, I can select a few on most continents to show off to you.
Is there an awesome vegan hotel that you believe is worthy of being featured in this roundup? Drop me a comment below!
Why trust my vegan hotel roundup?
I am a full-time vegan traveller with no home or fixed abode. I pretty much live in hotels and apartments. Therefore, I know a good vegan hotel when I see one!
For me, it is important there are plenty of vegan food options on-site as well as friendly staff who are either vegan themselves, or they respect those who follow a vegan lifestyle. Anything on top of this is an added extra!
