Place to Be Lombok and Gili with Botanical Healthy Choices

My Botanical Bar & Our new Morning Cocktails

2 March 2026 • Written by Ibu Antje

At The Lombok Lodge Hospitality, I invite you to discover something deeply personal. Not a place. Not a space. But my new botanical drink list.
Carefully composed, thoughtfully curated, and created to be enjoyed entirely your way.

A curated collection of botanical creations.Crafted with care, inspired by nature, and designed to be enjoyed exactly as you wish… with the gentle sparkle of alcohol-free soda, with 0% gin, or with the real indulgence of champagne and classic spirits.

 

A Gentle Morning Ritual

Each morning, I offer my guests a small gesture of joy.
A complimentary morning cocktail. Sometimes purely botanical and alcohol-free, sometimes with a delicate sparkle for those who feel that a holiday morning deserves champagne.
Always included. Always thoughtful. Always yours.
Because let us be honest … Some mornings call for green juice.
And some mornings politely request bubbles.
I never argue with either.

A Personal Story Behind the Botanical Bar

Of course, a cocktail or a glass of bubbles in the morning, during a well-deserved holiday, is hardly a problem. In fact, I rather insist on it. Creating these little moments of indulgence for you, our guests, is truly my pleasure.Let me share something very real.

Like many couples today, I have seen how easily a simple glass can become a daily habit. Especially working in hospitality and being surrounding daily with interesting persons from around the world who have something to celebrate during their holidays

My Botanical Bar was created with love – and yes, with a gentle intention – to bring a little more balance into everyday life.
Let us just say… it helps not to drink alcohol every single day.
And I know my husband Ben and I are not alone in this.

But please don’t misunderstand me – this is not about restriction.
It is about offering something so beautiful, so refined, and so satisfying… that choosing alcohol-free becomes a pleasure, not a compromise.

 

Botanical for the Mindful | Bubbles for the Joyful

Today, many of us enjoy a more balanced rhythm – sometimes alcohol-free, sometimes not. Some call it “zebra striping.” I simply call it living well.

At my Botanical Bar, you will find elegant zero-proof creations. Complex, layered, and crafted with the same care as the finest cocktails.
And for those who love their wine, champagne, or a perfectly mixed drink… I celebrate that too.
No judgment. No rules.
Only good taste.

A Personal Expression of Botanical Living

Everything begins in our organic gardens. Fresh herbs, edible flowers, sun-ripened fruits, and roots are transformed into refined botanical creations. Pure, natural, and thoughtfully composed. These are not “mocktails.” They are modern luxury in a glass.

Echoing the complexity and sophistication of a premium G&T without the alcohol. These botanical creations celebrate fresh, natural, and living ingredients. From fruit and herbs to botanicals, offering an experience that is both revitalising and memorable.

A Modern, Playful Philosophy

The world of beverages is evolving.
More mindful. More refined. More creative.

But here is my philosophy:
You should never feel deprived on holiday.
If you wish for a botanical creation – perfect.
If you wish for champagne – also perfect.
If you enjoy both… even better.

My Botanical Bar is part of the intimate world of The Lombok Lodge Hospitality.
Everything is designed to feel personal, effortless, and quietly luxurious.
Because it is always the smallest details that create perfection – and perfection is never a small detail.

 

My Invitation

I invite you to discover my Botanical Drink List while staying with us.
To enjoy your mornings with intention.
To find your own balance.
And perhaps… to bring a little inspiration home with you.
With or without alcohol.
But always with elegance – and a smile.

 

With Love & Botanical Cheers,
