Experience Gili

As soon as you set foot on Gili Air, you’ll feel your body and soul fill up with an extreme sensation of relaxation. It is an Eco-friendly island, as there are no motorized vehicles on Gili Air. The only way to get around is with the wonderful local horse-carts, by bicycle or by foot. The friendly locals will help you climb aboard a horse-cart to ensure your safe arrival wherever you would like to go.

The island has plenty of things to do. It is surrounded by white sandy beaches, crystal clear blue water and pristine coral reefs. Ideal for snorkeling, scuba diving, surfing and any other water sport.

Gili Air is located in the coral triangle, which is an area in the tropical marine waters, where the biodiversity underwater is one of the most developed in the world. What is unique about the Gilis is that we consider the turtles as our locals – you can see more than 15 turtles on a dive, and they are easy to spot when snorkeling around the island.

The Gili Islands consists of three islands: Gili Trawangan, Gili Meno and Gili Air. Located just outside of Lombok and just a 2 hour boat ride from Bali, the three Gilis attract many tourists. While most of the tourists make their way to the famous Gili Trawangan, our lovely Gili Air remains quiet, peaceful, and a true barefoot luxury island. The majority of restaurants and hotels are owned by locals, which creates a wonderful local community, there expats, tourists and locals live side by side.

There are many different activities besides swimming and sunbathing on Gili Air and the surrounding islands. Ask us, and we can help you book anything you would like.
