It’s not always easy to fit healthy eating into your daily routine. Most of the time, it has to be quick and easy. Do you want to eat healthier? Our partner hotels have many different ways for you to eat healthy food on vacation and change your diet for good.
Rediscover the joy of eating well
Eating a healthy, vitamin-rich diet is good for our health. But with the stress of work and family life, we don’t always have time to cook balanced, fresh meals. And if you don’t have the time, you don’t have the desire or the idea to get back into the kitchen after a long day at work or after a day of caring for the family and conjuring up something delicious and healthy. Believe us, it’s not just you!
Sometimes a little outside perspective and a little push can help get those ideas flowing again. That’s why some of our Green Pearls® hotels are working with nutritionists to give you tips and inspiration for at home. Not just about cooking, but also about how to incorporate healthy eating into your everyday life. Of course, even hotels without nutritionists can give you new ideas. Other ingredients and preparation methods will also help to rekindle your desire for healthy food.
Sustainable hotels with nutritional advice
The special thing about our Green PearlsⓇ hotels with nutritional advice is that they not only offer healthy food, but also sustainable food. If you are thinking about your weight, your health and your diet (that’s probably why you are reading the blog 🙂 ), you should perhaps also think about the health of the planet. Specific suggestions:
- Less meat
- Less dairy products
- Protein through pulses
- Fewer ready meals
- Fresh food from your region and in season
- Lots of vegetables
- Organic products
All the hotels we present to you in this article source their food regionally and, where possible, always in organic quality. Organic cultivation guarantees that no pesticides are used. This not only supports your health (because you don’t have to worry about possible residues), but also biodiversity and groundwater.

Hotels with special cuisine
In addition to a hotel with special fasting cures or nutritional advice, our sustainable green pearls also include hotels that offer special cuisine.
Organic cuisine at the APIPURA hotel rinner in South Tyrol
If you are looking for a healthy diet with organic food on vacation, the APIPURA hotel rinner on the Ritten in South Tyrol has just implemented a new culinary concept with its partner Bioland Südtirol. The family-run hotel has been in existence for 50 years and has had its own apiary with organic honey since the beginning. What is new, however, is that all other food is now also sourced from organic farms in the immediate vicinity (maximum 200 km). The range is only supplemented by a few Fairtrade products such as organic coffee, which has to be imported from further afield.
👉 Here you can find out more about the in-house organic beekeeping, which you can of course also visit.
Vegan hotel in South Tyrol
The vegan lifestyle has been shown to be more climate-friendly. Opinions differ on whether it is also healthier and helps you lose weight. (For example, eating chips from morning to night would also be vegan, but very one-sided and high in fat). In general, however, vegans eat very consciously, and this alone (and the fact that many convenience products are eliminated) means that you are usually already healthier.
The 100% vegan hotel LA VIMEA is located in Naturns in South Tyrol. Here you can enjoy 100% organic and vegan food. Breakfast and dinner are included in your stay. And of course there are some tasty snacks for in-between, such as a vegan (and plastic-free) lunch box for e-bike excursions or hikes.
Farm-to-table in Cambodia
Part of eating well is knowing where your food comes from. At Farmhouse Smiling Gecko in Cambodia, you are right among the plantations, fields, and greenhouses where the ingredients for the dishes are growing. The cuisine is entirely “farm to table” and features a mix of local specialties and European cuisine.
By vacationing at Farmhouse Smiling Gecko, you will be supporting the Smiling Gecko Project, which includes an educational concept for a variety of professions. The employees of the resort havebeen training here and can support their families and pay for their children’s education through steady work.

5 tips for sustainable and healthy travel
- A water bottle and lunch box or beeswax paper are the basic equipment of every zero-waste traveler. They should always be in your carry-on luggage. They can accompany you on your excursions throughout your vacation. (Packaged food on airplanes is neither healthy nor very tasty.)
- Book sustainable accommodations that serve local, organic food.
- Watch out for the buffet: The hotel breakfast buffet is a temptation. Eggs, fruit, bread, cakes, specialties… you can’t possibly eat everything. Instead, focus on what you like best and keep things in moderation.
- Plan your lunch. With half board, some people are tempted to skip lunch – and end up standing in front of a chip shop on the way home, or starving at dinner. It is better to plan ahead where you can eat lunch (local and sustainable bistro). Or you pack a zero-waste lunch box.
- Drink plenty of water: Take care of your hydration, especially if you are vacationing in warm countries. Eliminating sugary drinks from your diet will save you unhealthy calories every day. If the tap water in your vacation destination is drinkable, this is both sustainable and healthy.
