Place to Be Lombok and Gili with Botanical Healthy Choices

Lombok and Gili: The New Place to Be

2 March 2026 • Written by Anja Braeken

Lombok Island is entering a new era of luxury. One defined by intention, authenticity, and conscious indulgence. As travellers seek experiences that go beyond the expected, I am proud to introduce Ibu Antje’s Botanical Bar as the new Place to Be on Lombok Island.
Created for refined, modern travellers, this exclusive concept is available solely to in-house guests and villa residents. It is a destination within a destination—quietly sophisticated, deeply sensory, and unmistakably contemporary.

 

A Refined Take on Botanical Luxury

At my latest creation, inspired by a healthy lifestyle—Ibu Antje’s Botanical Bar—botanical mixology takes centre stage. My alcohol-free creations are crafted exclusively from pure, natural ingredients harvested from our organic gardens. Fresh herbs, flowers, fruits, and roots are carefully composed into elegant flavour profiles that are layered, balanced, and memorable. There are no compromises, only elevation. Each drink reflects our belief that true luxury is defined by quality, craftsmanship, and intention.

Lombok & Gili: Why This Is the New Place to Be

What sets a truly trendy place apart is not noise or excess, but the details, atmosphere and meaning.
My refreshing Botanical Bar offers garden-to-glass botanical craftsmanship. Alcohol-free luxury with refined complexity A serene, design-forward setting.
A philosophy rooted in wellness and sustainability.
Our two Resorts on Lombok mainland are a space for guests who value modern luxury and thoughtful experiences, making it one of the most trendy places on the island today.

The Future of Luxury on Lombok Island

I created Ibu Antje’s Botanical Bar for travellers who seek more than a moment. For those who seek meaning, beauty, and refinement in every experience. It is my personal invitation to experience Lombok through a new lens of conscious luxury, where botanical purity, elegance, and intention come together effortlessly.
