Tourexpi
From 21 to 29 October 2025, TUI MAGIC LIFE Bodrum will
highlight two of the most inspiring travel trends of the moment – plant-based
cuisine and holistic wellness. Guests can look forward to creative, seasonal
dishes prepared from fresh, locally sourced ingredients such as legumes, tofu
and seitan. Complemented by yoga sessions and relaxation formats, the event
week promises an energising balance of flavour, mindfulness and renewal.
Culinary creativity with Bianca Zapatka
A special highlight of the week will be the appearance
of Bianca Zapatka, renowned food blogger and bestselling author, who will share
her passion for vegan cooking directly with guests. With over 700,000 Instagram
followers and one of Germany’s most influential vegan blogs, Zapatka has
inspired a new generation to explore plant-based living. Her eight cookbooks –
including the bestsellers Vegan Foodporn and Vegan & Easy – have helped
make vegan cuisine both accessible and exciting.
During her stay at TUI MAGIC LIFE Bodrum, Bianca
Zapatka will host two interactive cooking workshops, inviting guests to
discover and prepare imaginative vegan creations. In addition, her signature
dishes will be featured exclusively in the main restaurant throughout the event
week.
A week for all the senses
Beyond its culinary focus, the Vegan Week offers a
rich and varied programme: Body & Mind sessions, sports activities and
vibrant party nights ensure that every day combines relaxation, movement and
celebration.
“With this themed week, we want to show our guests how
diverse and surprising plant-based cuisine can be – without any sense of
sacrifice, but with an abundance of pleasure,” says Utku Çelebi, General
Manager of TUI MAGIC LIFE Bodrum. “We are especially proud to welcome Bianca
Zapatka as such a creative and inspiring ambassador for this event and for our
club.”
Vegan cuisine as part of the TUI MAGIC LIFE philosophy
Since early 2025, all à la carte restaurants at TUI
MAGIC LIFE clubs have featured at least one specially curated vegan menu,
including innovative creations such as a vegan Adana kebab made from oyster
mushrooms, celebrated for their rich umami flavour. With its dedicated Vegan
Week, TUI MAGIC LIFE once again proves that enjoyment, lifestyle and conscious
travel can come together in perfect harmony.
