Plan your journey at our island home
Here is where you will find more information about how to get here, when the best times to visit are, and why our island home is so special.
Getting to the Island
Choose the route that suits your time and style (fast boat, private boat or even local ferry). Your Asmara concierge will help you coordinate the details to Gili Air harbor where our friendly on-site team pick you up and guide you to the villa. Whichever way you choose to arrive, the team will make transfers straightforward. We can arrange hotel or airport pickups, help with luggage, and share insider tips so your journey to Gili Air feels seamless from start to finish.

Weather on Gili Air
Thanks to Mount Rinjani’s rain‑shadow, Gili Air has a drier, sunnier climate than Bali, making us a year‑round destination. In sunny season (May–Oct) you will find blue skies and low humidity, and in “green season” (Nov–Apr) there will be brief tropical showers, lush landscapes and a calmer vibe.
Typical temperatures are 28–30°C all year, and the warm, tropical climate means you can swim, dive, and explore anytime during the year, with each season offering its own island charm.
Local Culture & History
Island life on Gili Air still follows the rhythm of the sea and community traditions. You’ll notice the warmth of greetings, the call to prayer, and the strong ties that connect neighbors across the island. Staying on Gili Air gives you a glimpse of Indonesia’s traditions combined with a lifestyle where simplicity and hospitality come first.
Gili Air people’s seafaring roots blends Bugis with Sasak heritage, a living culture of islands, faith, and craft, set to the rhythm of the sea.
