10 Must-Book Vegan-Friendly Resorts in Mexico From a Travel Advisor

In the dead of winter, after chipping away at a thick layer of ice from your windshield and countless trips with the snow shovel, nothing is more inviting than sun-drenched white sands and shimmering blue water. Even if it’s not -10 degrees with a wind chill where you live, a visit to bask on a beautiful beach at a vegan resort in Mexico is a stellar idea. But do they exist?

While long walks on breathtaking shores and unlimited pina coladas sound pretty fantastic, it will only get you so far if there’s no vegan food! 

Often all-inclusive resorts have at least a few vegan options, but after the 10^th time eating salad, you might feel like you’re ready to head home to eat, even if that means an epic ice battle awaits.

Luckily, some resorts in Mexico have gotten the vegan memo and are ready to delight the palates of vegan and veg-curious travelers. So, if you’ve been daydreaming of the perfect beach escape, check out these gorgeous vegan-friendly resorts in Mexico.

This vegan-friendly all-inclusive resort is right in the heart of all of the action in Cancun. The family-friendly resort has everything you need to entertain and delight everyone! Guests can relax on Cancun’s famous white sand beach or in one of their three infinity pools, work up a sweat with an oceanside spin class, or enjoy an exfoliating body wrap in the spa. 

While all of that is fantastic, you’re probably curious about vegan options — no worries, they’ve got that too. Sandos offers a full vegan menu in each of its restaurants, including favorites like avocado toast, raw lasagna, mushroom tacos, and even sweet desserts!

In addition to having a gorgeous location in Cancun, Sandos also has locations in Riviera Maya & Cabo San Lucas, but the vegan options aren’t quite up to par with Cancun. They’re in the process of overhauling menus — hopefully we will be adding them into this list soon.

This gorgeous vegan-friendly beachfront property is just outside of the busy Cancun hotel zone in a gated community. The location provides you with access to all that Cancun offers while giving you a private and tranquil oasis.

On the dining side, you’ll find over 10 different restaurants, many of which have vegetarian menus (they label the menus as whole food, plant-based but some dishes have dairy, they mark which). The most friendly are Le Petit Plaisir, Lizo, and Shojin. In addition to that, the hotel’s breakfast and lunch buffets includes a vegetarian zone, with vegan options. The hotel also looks out for its gluten-free guests, but if you don’t feel the options are adequate, you can always let them know.

In between eating and relaxing on the beach, you’ll also want to check out their luxurious spa that offers facials, massages, body wraps, treatments, and more!

While it may be hard to pry yourself from your unique treehouse sanctuary, I don’t think you’ll want to miss their vegetarian/vegan breakfast buffet (included with your stay). After breakfast, hop on one of their bikes or scooters and explore the area. If you’re looking for a memorable getaway, this is it.

Welcome to the jungle! This gorgeous wellness-focused hotel is in the middle of the Mayan jungle — away from stress and chaos. This is the perfect place to disconnect from the world and reset and recharge with their daily yoga classes, activities, and workshops. A few of their unique offerings include cacao ceremonies, Temazcal, and the Sonic Experience.

If that hadn’t sold you, this will — their onsite restaurant, Tierra, is vegetarian with a ton of gorgeous vegan options. You can start the day with a delicious cacao bowl topped with fruit and granola, but the deliciousness doesn’t end there! All day they’re preparing a diverse mix of dishes from spicy mac-n-cheese to veggie curry. The menu is well-marked for vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options. This is the perfect place to go solo, for a romantic getaway, or adventure!

Resort in Punta Mita

A stay at the Four Seasons Punta Mita is an indulgent escape into luxury, where the captivating beauty of the Pacific coastline meets unparalleled hospitality. Nestled on the pristine beaches of the Riviera Nayarit, this resort offers stunning accommodations with incredible ocean views, private terraces, and plush amenities.

While being swept away in beauty is great, it won’t matter if there is nothing to eat! The resort hired vegan chef, Leslie Durso to overhaul the vegan options and come up with something everyone will love. I think it’s safe to say that she did that and more! Her goal was to add at least a few options on every menu, she ended up adding over 250 — you won’t go hungry!

Aside from being well fed, you can also feel good about staying here as the resort has lengthy environmental, social and governance (ESG) efforts to support lessening its impact on Mother Nature and the community. A few priorities include: water conservation, food waste reduction, use of eco-certified products, local biodiversity support, and more.

The resort is also located near a turtle nesting sanctuary that Club Med ensures is protected in partnership with Mexico’s Secretary of Environment and Natural Resources. Depending on the time of the year, you may catch baby turtles making their way into the ocean for the first time!
