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…ermitage bel air, a medical hotel overlooking the hills in italy, great for vegan resorts all-inclusive

Hotel neptun spa, a couple walking along the baltic sea coast near to the hotel

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.
