Take a trip as we explore the world’s best vegan hotels to help you plan the ultimate vegan-friendly getaway

While hotels might be a relaxing haven for travellers to switch off and unwind, they’re something of a minefield for vegans.

Picture this: you’re exhausted after a long day travelling and are ready to relax and unwind. All you want to do is shower, order room service, and sleep off the jet lag ready to start your holiday.

But you soon discover the toiletries in the shower aren’t even cruelty-free let alone vegan, the bedding is made from down and the menu is devoid of vegan options. It’s not exactly the relaxing getaway you’d envisaged!

To save you from holiday heartbreak, we’ve travelled the globe to discover the world’s best vegan hotels where you can relax knowing your vacation is 100% vegan.
