As the keto diet continues to dominate the wellness and hospitality industries, hotels and resorts must adapt to meet the growing demand for low-carb, high-fat dining options. In 2025, keto-friendly menus will be a key selling point for wellness travelers, digital nomads, and health-conscious guests.
But what exactly should a luxury hotel or wellness retreat include on its keto-friendly menu? We’ve identified the three must-have meals that will elevate your culinary offerings and ensure your guests enjoy nutrient-dense, delicious, and satisfying dining options.
Why Hotels Need Keto-Friendly Menus in 2025
The keto diet isn’t just a passing trend, it’s a global movement. Research shows that the global ketogenic diet market is expected to reach $17.8 billion by 2026 (Research and Markets).
The Rise of Keto Travelers
- Wellness tourism is booming, with travelers seeking hotels and resorts that prioritize health-conscious dining (Global Wellness Institute).
- Keto is mainstream, with a steady increase in demand for low-carb, sugar-free options in luxury dining.
- Hotels with dedicated keto menus are gaining a competitive edge over traditional resorts, attracting health-focused travelers.
The 3 Must-Have Keto-Friendly Meals for Hotels
For 2025, hotels and wellness destinations must offer keto options that cater to breakfast, lunch, and dinner—without compromising on flavor, presentation, or guest satisfaction.
1. Keto Power Breakfast: Avocado & Smoked Salmon Benedict
A luxurious twist on the classic Eggs Benedict, this keto-friendly version delivers healthy fats, protein, and micronutrients without the carb-heavy English muffin.
Why It Works
- High in healthy fats from avocado and smoked salmon.
- Zero refined carbs—served on a bed of sautéed spinach or a keto-friendly almond flour biscuit.
- Packed with omega-3s and essential nutrients to fuel energy and cognition.
How to Serve It
- Poached eggs over a buttery almond flour biscuit (or sautéed greens for a lighter option).
- Topped with rich hollandaise sauce (made with grass-fed butter & lemon).
- Garnished with microgreens & edible flowers for a luxury aesthetic.
2. Low-Carb Lunch: Grilled Ribeye Steak & Garlic Butter Asparagus
A steakhouse-style keto lunch is the ultimate power meal for wellness travelers, digital nomads, and fitness-focused guests.
Why It Works
- Steak is a keto staple, providing high-quality protein and healthy fats.

- Optional pairing: A keto-friendly bone broth soup starter.
3. Decadent Dinner: Keto Sushi Rolls with Spicy Aioli
