Explore our villasThree houses by the sea
Built in wood and open to the breeze, each villa has four bedrooms, its own pool and its own stretch of beach.
The north shore
Gili Trawangan is the largest of the three Gili Islands, off the north-west coast of Lombok and a few hours from the bustle of Bali. The resort sits on its northern beach, the picturesque and peaceful side of the island.
There are no motor vehicles here. You get around on foot, by bicycle or by cidomo, the island’s horse cart. The philosophy is simple: forget civilisation for the length of a holiday and enjoy simple pleasures.
No cars, no motorbikes and, most days, no shoes.
A reef in front of the house
The marine park around the Gilis has some of the best snorkelling and scuba diving in Indonesia. Halik Reef begins in front of our beach: green and hawksbill turtles live on it, among hundreds of species of reef fish.
We lend you masks, snorkels and fins. For scuba, the dive centre next to the resort has all the equipment and takes you to the sites around the three islands.
