As veganism tops hospitality trends for 2020, the first plant-based hotel is about to open in Mykonos.
A boutique hotel on the island of Mykonos has become the first and only in Greece to market itself as fully vegan. From the spa to the Mediterranean menu, everything at the hotel is plant-based.
Located in Ano Mera, Mykonos, Koukoumi hotel plans to open its doors this summer. The hotel has been designed to fit within traditional Myconian architecture and has 14 suites in total. The founders’ philosophy prioritises sustainability on every front, with a vegan menu, eco-friendly mattresses, solar powered water heaters and even a magnesium pool. Spa therapists also provide vegan beauty treatments and daily group exercise classes take place in the fitness centre to encourage a healthy lifestyle.
Koukoumi will offer two bespoke packages, the ‘Detox package’ and the ‘Energy Boost’ package which are both full-board stays spread over five days.
Koukoumi’s vegan cuisine is Greek-inspired and is made up of exclusively vegan and raw food. For breakfast, the bread and cakes are baked in house and daily meals include soups, salads, fresh pasta, vegan burgers, pizzas and poke bowls.
So, no seafood, cheese, or eggs in sight.
