In a world of constant notifications, silence has become the ultimate rarity. Mention "The Gilis" to most travelers, and they picture Gili Trawangan: beach parties, horse carts, and bustling crowds. But tucked away in the southwest corner of Lombok lies a different archipelago—one that time seems to have forgotten.
We call them the "Secret Gilis": Gili Asahan, Gili Gede, and Gili Layar. Here, there are no motorized vehicles, no nightclubs, and often, no reliable phone signal. For our clients, this disconnection is not a bug; it is the primary feature.
The Southwest Archipelago
Gili Asahan feels like a private estate. The waters are calm and flat, perfect for kayaking or paddleboarding at sunrise. The accommodation here leans towards 'Barefoot Luxury'—eco-resorts built from bamboo and thatch that blend seamlessly into the coastline, yet offer crisp linen sheets and gourmet dining.
Underwater, the coral gardens of Gili Layar rival anywhere in Indonesia. Because there are so few boats, the marine life is undisturbed. It is common to find yourself snorkeling alone with turtles, a rare privilege in today's tourism landscape.
Digital Detox
We curate itineraries here for clients seeking a "Digital Detox." We can arrange private boat transfers from the mainland, whisking you away to a world where the only schedule is the rising and setting of the sun. It is a place to reconnect—with nature, with your partner, and most importantly, with yourself.
If you are ready to trade the noise of the world for the symphony of the sea, the Secret Gilis await. Let us plan your escape to silence.
