Does it feel like every second person on your Instagram feed is poolside in Bali/Fiji/Hawaii while you’re stuck at home – heater-side – trying to warm your soul?
That is my life right now.
So, here to help make the winter days roll on until I have an actual beach holiday is Sara Agah Franti, CEO of Soulshine Bali. Unlike other health and wellness resorts, Soulshine Bali has a rock'n'roll vibe (influenced by co-founder, musician Michael Franti), which means you can start the day with yoga or a HIIT session and end it dancing with a cocktail in hand at their outdoor music venue.
Yes, a cocktail! With alcohol! At a wellness resort! Sounds like my kind of holiday.
And my thinking is, if they do actual cocktails, they probably do some pretty good non-alcoholic, kinda healthy versions for those of us who are doing Dry July or just want to limit our intake of booze.
My theory seems on track. As Sara confirms: “I was adamant that our mocktails would be as good as, if not better than, the cocktails we offer at Soulshine."
You know what? Since I don't have a plane to catch this weekend (sigh), I'm going to do a taste test at home. Keen to join me? Sara shares Soulshine's top mocktails below.
