Cora Cora Maldives

Cora Cora Maldives is one of the newest luxury resorts in the Maldives having opened in 2021. Their innovative MOKSHA Spa concept features MOKSHA cuisine which is vegan / plant based and available on all menus throughout the resort. Guests all stay on a ‘Premium All Inclusive’ package meaning that you never miss out and can eat at any of the restaurants during your stay, we loved the simplicity of this approach to dining. They are continuing to develop their menus so watch this space for even more vegan food but in the meantime, rest assured you will be feasting on vegan pizza, vegan cakes, vegan sushi, vegan curries and even vegan Beyond Burgers during your stay at Cora Cora.

Soneva Fushi

Recognised by many as one of the finest resorts in the world, Soneva Fushi is outstanding on so many levels, truly showing us all that luxury travel can be environmentally friendly and good for your health all at the same time. 2019 saw Soneva Fushi take their plant based offerings to a whole new level with the opening of Shades of Green, the first and only 100% vegan restaurant in the Maldives. Check in here for that authentic desert island hideaway experience with a twist of laid back vegan luxury.

Atmosphere Kanifushi is a premium all-inclusive resort and home to the first vegetarian restaurant in the Maldives called Just Veg. Expect towering tall palm trees, fine white sand, crystal clear turquoise ocean and superbly appointed villas with their own beach access.

Ayada Maldives

Having won awards including ‘World’s Leading Water Villa Resort’ you know you’re in for a treat when you check in here. The over water villas are truly exquisite; we had a see through section of flooring in our living room that allowed us to watch the fish swimming below. We had wall to ceiling glass doors which opened out on to the most perfect view (and a pool and steps down to the ocean). Combine all this with a chef team that really know how to cater for vegans, offering food from around the globe and you get a perfect recipe for a very special trip indeed.

Six Senses Laamu

As you would expect from this luxury brand sustainability is high on their agenda and this means plenty of plant based food. You can expect your accommodation to be of the highest standard, the service to be exemplary and the vegan food to be creative, nutritious and delicious. Ok, maybe the complimentary ice cream and chocolate isn’t the healthiest of options but you’re on holiday right?

Vegan Maldives, starting with an overnight in Malé?

If your international flight means you need to spend a night in Malé or you just want to explore a more local side of life, then staying in Malé offers an interesting new side to your Maldivian beach escape. Get a glimpse of real life in the Maldives, see some historic sights, visit local markets, check out the beach in the heart of town and meet some of the friendliest people on the planet. Sala Boutique Hotel offers guests a chance to stay right in the centre of Malé and is the perfect place to stay; they have a Thai restaurant onsite and are able to adapt dishes for vegan guests too. An even easier option is to stay in Hulhumale, which is a vast growing ‘new’ island that is being developed adjacent to the airport. New coffee shops and restaurants are rapidly opening here, and the public beach is a very pleasant introduction to the Maldives. We stayed in Huvan Beach Hotel which was perfectly adequate with a friendly team, they even had a vegan burger on the menu but we arrived too late to try it.
