Hong Kong has gone from hedonistic to health-conscious in just a matter of years, with new gyms, yoga studios and healthy eateries opening up faster than you can say “namaste”. Whether you’re looking for the newest place to practice pilates or the occasional plant-based goodie, here are five new wellness spots in Hong Kong to get your ‘om’ (or nom) on:

Mod, plant-based cuisine that tastes as good as it looks with a brand new buzzy location at BaseHall, Jardine House. Tuck into wholesome, vegan delights including burgers, buddha bowls and wraps in homemade sourdough to cold-pressed juices and yummy sides like sweet potato fries. Tip: Don’t ‘leaf’ without trying the guilt-free desserts, including the densely rich hazelnut chocolate cake.

All good things in life take time… including the ‘fast slow food’ at this eco-conscious, plant-based haven with brand new locations at SoHo and Star Street. Join the woke post-yoga and workout crew to refuel on freshly made flats (read: wraps) packed with tasty fillings of your choice (we love the hummus, falafel, roasted veggies and halloumi) on a spicy zaatar spread. Power up and pair with freshly squeezed juices for an all-around vitamin boost.
