Easily accessible by 15-20 minute speedboat transfer. Warm hospitality and impeccable service. Breakfast menus change each day. Dinner inclusion in half-board is different each night so get to try different cuisine. Same butler (Mr/Ms Friday) throughout the entire stay which is great. Crystal clear turquoise water, very beautiful. Highly recommended and I would love to return to Gili in the near future.

The place is absolutely amazing, a true paradise built from the sand! Many thanks to Vijay for taking care of us throughout the journey, ensuring the beddings were clean and the fridge was full. Big thanks also to the doctor for his kind support, as we sun-burnt our legs just before arriving to the island. This was a true 5 star experience, the only improvement feedback I'd like to point out is that the cold drinks should be colder, but you can always ask for more ice.
