Three Vegan Hotels to Visit in Dubai, Hawaii, and Santorini: travelling while plant-based just got easier

Vegan hotels may not yet be mainstream, but they’re out there—and they’re growing in number. As the hospitality industry realizes that there are more and more folks following a vegan lifestyle, some progressive-thinking hoteliers are answering the call for vegan lodging, which makes traveling while plant-based a heck of a lot easier. Truly vegan hotels use plant-based and cruelty-free products in their operations. And while more vegan hotels are bound to follow, a rundown of three vegan hotel hot spots can be a good jumping-off point for your next travel excursion.

Santorini’s MOD Hotel

The MOD Santorini is one of the earliest hotels to go vegan. Located in a seaside village near the capital city of Fira, this hotel offers luxury, vegan style. Enjoy beautiful views from the hot tub on the balcony of an earth-toned suite. Inside, enjoy cruelty-free bedding for long, restful vacay naps and nosh on vegan cuisine from room service.

Hawaii’s Volcano Eco Retreat

Dreaming of the Big Island? A stay at the Aloha State’s first 100% vegan hotel might be right up your alley. Dubbed an “eco boutique hotel,” this vegan haven is located on the Big Island near Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. The first fully vegan lodging option in Hawaii, everything was curated with social impact and sustainability in mind. From 100% plant-based breakfast that includes coffee grown locally to soaps milled locally for guests’ rainwater-filtered baths, this little slice of heaven for vegans really puts its money where its mouth is.

Greece's Koukoumi Hotel

The Koukoumi Hotel in Mykonos, Greece, has bragging rights as the country’s first and only vegan hotel. Everything here is vegan, not just the food. This four-star hotel offers delicious vegan cuisine along with an on-site gym and world-class spa where (you might have guessed) all the products are vegan and cruelty-free.
