THE GILI ISLANDS

Spectacular beaches, crystal clear water, excellent diving, and a taste of Lombok

Come for:​

• A true escape from Bali (the islands are part of neighboring Lombok) and window into the rest of Indonesia

• Picture perfect beaches and turquoise blue waters, out of a magazine

• Spectacular diving among colourful fish, ship wrecks and peaceful sea turtles

• A nice mix of restaurants, cafes and bars you can explore by foot

Do not expect:​

• An adventure free journey to the island - zippy speedboats often must navigate choppy seas

• To escape the crowds - the islands have become a tourism hotspot

• Many activities that don't involve the water
