A few years ago, managing to eat properly (and satisfyingly) while on holiday was frustratingly difficult if you were vegan, but it is becoming easier to find solutions that don’t involve becoming a reluctant scullery maid during your precious time off. Today you can find vegan and even raw food retreats that offer a local varied and often organic diet that not only tick the vegan box, but also present an opportunity to practice yoga, meditation and occasionally conscious raving with like-minded individuals.
A retreat is still a holiday — only a little more purpose-driven. Typically running over a week, they often include a daily exercise routine, guided meditation, healthy eating, Ayurvedic treatments and curated relaxation.
