Having had the opportunity to travel to the Maldives multiple times during the past ten years, now in 2024 we are happy to say that the Maldives is indeed a vegan friendly destination. It wasn’t easy at first, when extensive research was needed pre trip to ensure that we selected a resort that could not only cater for our dietary requirements, but that we would be excited and impressed by the plant based food that we were served.
