With its turquoise waters, white sandy beaches, and vibrant culture, the Caribbean offers a breathtaking backdrop for any vacation—and it’s becoming increasingly welcoming to plant-based travelers. While vegan options vary from island to island, Puerto Rico and Aruba stand out as the most vegan-friendly islands. In Puerto Rico, you’ll find delicious plant-based takes on traditional dishes like pastelón, as well as trendy vegan cafes and restaurants. Aruba, known for its stunning beaches, also boasts a growing vegan scene, with plenty of options for dining and accommodations.

Beyond these hotspots, travelers may be surprised by the number of vegan-friendly resorts and hotels popping up throughout the Caribbean. These eco-conscious retreats often feature locally-sourced, plant-based menus and focus on sustainability, making them a perfect choice for mindful travelers. If you’re concerned about options at the resort you’ve selected, email and ask to see a menu or hire a vegan travel advisor to help!
