Located in Ano Mera, Mykonos, the Koukoumi hotel is designed to fit in with traditional Myconian architecture and has a total of 14 suites. The founders’ philosophy prioritizes sustainability in every aspect, with a vegan menu, eco-friendly mattresses, solar water heating and even a mineral pool. Spa experts also offer vegan beauty treatments and yoga classes are held daily in the gym to encourage a healthy lifestyle.
Koukoumi will offer two pre-booked packages, the "Detox" package and the "Energy Boost" package, both of which include accommodation and dining services for five days.
Georgia Kontiza, founder of the Koukoumi hotel, believes that people should “enjoy life without harming animals, the environment or themselves”. She says Koukoumi is a peaceful destination for travellers from around the world looking for a haven.
Koukoumi's vegan cuisine is inspired by Mediterranean cuisine, featuring only vegan and raw foods. Breakfast typically includes homemade breads and pastries from the hotel kitchen, and daily meals include soups, salads, fresh pasta, veggie burgers, pizza, and vegan poke.
There is absolutely no seafood, cheese or eggs, ingredients common in Greek culinary culture.
Koukoumi Hotel's vegan menu
Two trends that are set to shape the hospitality and food service industry in 2020 are sustainability and veganism. A study conducted at Harvard University in the US found that a vegan diet has benefits for both health and the environment. As a result, from McDonald's and Greggs in the UK to Michelin-starred restaurants in Europe, more and more places are introducing new menus to cater to vegetarians.
Catching the trend, Koukoumi has received a lot of support from international tourists even though it just opened this summer. If you have the opportunity to visit Mykonos, do not miss the opportunity to enjoy vegan Mediterranean cuisine at this lovely boutique hotel.
