One of Green Pearls partner hotels amongst their collection of hand-picked, sustainable places around the world, is LA VIMEA, Italy’s first purely vegan hotel situated in South Tyrol. Vegan living is not only catered for here on your plate but covering all bases throughout the hotel. For example, the buildings are constructed using natural materials only, such as hemp, limestone or terracotta. The furnishing consists of wood and linen, natural paint and other natural materials – vegan, fair-trade and organic. There are no animal products such as leather, silk or down. The mattresses are biodegradable, the sheets are made of fair trade cotton, vegan and eco-friendly detergents are used to do the laundry. And of course, the cosmetics in the bathroom of a vegan hotel do not contain animal ingredients and are developed without animal testing. In the kitchens, LA VIMEA only uses produce from their own organic gardens and the wine is produced from their own biodynamic cultivation, meaning the hotel also avoids long transport routes. After a delicious and guilt-free meal, enjoy an Ayurveda treatment or take a dip in the chlorine-free pool or natural swimming pond.
