Location
Gili Air is a happy and well balanced island with adequate services. In close proximity to Gili Meno, the smallest and most secluded of the islands, and to Gili Trawangan, the largest island, known for its many restaurants and parties. Gili Air has the best of it all.
On Gili Air, the biggest concentration of bars and restaurants is on the East side where you can take in views of lush green Lombok and the magnificence of Mt. Rinjani. Venture to the northwest and you will find yourself on empty sands gazing at the majestic Agung volcano of Bali. The island offers excellent snorkelling and scuba diving sites off its east coast, where turtles can be seen along the coral reef.
Our island has a great selection of restaurants including homemade french, italian, mexican and mediterranean food, as well as a number of warung serving all the best local dishes.
A busy little strip has developed along the beach in the southeast, although the lane is still more sandy than paved. The circumference of the island is accessible by foot in around one hour.
Motorized traffic is prohibited, so the preferred method of transport is by foot and bicycle or the horse-drawn carriage called a « cidomo ».
