9 Luxe Vegan-Friendly Hotels and Resorts Around the Globe

Traveling these days can feel like a catch-22. Most of us look forward to that time off to recharge and reconnect with ourselves, our loved ones, and our planet. It can help us be the best versions of ourselves and reignite our commitments, both personal and professional. But travel brings a lot of issues—chiefly a big carbon footprint that can make us feel not so great about our adventures. One way to help negate that? Make your trip a vegan one.

The luxury travel industry has come a long way in recent years with fine dining, room and board options, and spa treatments that are less damaging to the environment. The number of luxury vegan and vegan-friendly hotels and resorts around the globe is at an all-time high—and that’s good news for your eco-travel plans. These comfortable stays cater to those seeking indulgence without compromising their ethical and dietary preferences. It’s a growing trend as consumers are prioritizing holidays better for their health and the health of the planet.

Whether you’re fully vegan or simply reducing your animal products for your health or the planet doesn’t mean you have to spend your vacation dining on trail mix, salads, and Clif Bars. You can help offset your travel footprint with delicious plant-forward eats that don’t taste like a sacrifice. And, you may even find yourself able to stay at a location that prioritizes low-impact furnishings and amenities.

Not only are there several vegan-friendly hotel stays, but you can now find vegan fine-dining restaurants in cities around the world. So even if you’re not staying at a vegan hotel, look for dining options like Crossroads in Las Vegas and Los Angeles, Eleven Madison Park in New York, Fu He Hui in Shanghai, and Joia in Milan.
