8 Best Vegan Vacations in Europe and Beyond
If you’re vegan, you’ll know how frustrating it is when restaurants assume that veganism is synonymous with “diet” and the only thing you can eat are lettuce leaves, nuts and berries. Luckily veganism is on the rise and gastronomy is becoming much more accommodating to its plant-based guests. That said, when it comes to booking an all-inclusive vegan holiday, most of us still find ourselves trawling through the internet to find out which hotels won’t leave us eating as frugally as a monk.
That’s why here at SpaDreams we’ve listened to the vegan trend and put together a list of our 8 best vegan vacations in Europe and Asia, with a variety of spa, health and relaxation options. Read on to discover where you should spend your all-inclusive vegan holiday…
8. ★★★★Ermitage Bel Air Medical Hotel | Euganean Hills, Northern Italy
At Ermitage Bel Air Medical Hotel in the Euganean hills of Northern Italy, experience the healthy gourmet cuisine of their Total Vegan line, created by the leading experts of vegan and raw food diets in Italy. This you can enjoy alongside a thermal relaxation package with use of the thermal pools, tennis court and aqua aerobics classes. The salt-bromide-iodine thermal waters spring from the Piccole Dolomiti after thousands of years filtering from depths of over 4000 metres, making an effective natural treatment of bone and joint inflammations. On Saturdays there is also a transfer to the arcaded city of Padua where you can enjoy delightful vegan gelato at one of its many ice cream parlours…

7. ★★★★★Hotel Neptun Spa | Warnemunde, Baltic Sea
If you’ve not yet visited Germany as a vegan, you definitely should! Despite a traditional cuisine of bratwurst, fried potatoes and sauerkraut, veganism is extremely popular in Germany and an increasing number of health-conscious, vegan and environmentally friendly restaurants have been popping up over the past few years.
At the hotel Neptun and Spa on the beautiful Baltic Sea coast in the north of Germany, you find the only certified thalassotherapy centre in Germany, accompanied by the culinary delights of the hotel’s 8 restaurants. Although its menus already have sections dedicated to vegetarians, the hotel clarifies that they always try to understand the eating habits of their vegan guests individually, and based on this they order the ingredients to create personalised menus.
Hotel Neptun is not far from the centre of Rostock where you can enjoy yet more vegan variety. For example, you can try a naturally vegan falafel with creamy sesame sauce, or visit one of Rostock’s three exclusively vegan restaurants.
