About this Destination
Gili Air strikes a perfect balance between the liveliness of Gili Trawangan and the total seclusion of Gili Meno — this is the Gili for travellers who want genuine tropical island serenity alongside a few good restaurants and dive shops. Its white sand beaches and turquoise waters are among the most beautiful in the archipelago.
With no motorised vehicles and a small, friendly local village at its centre, Gili Air has a genuine community feel rare in tropical resort destinations. Hammocks, cold cocktails, and the sound of the ocean are Gili Air's principal offerings — supplemented by excellent reef snorkelling right from the beach and a very active dive scene.
