Gili Air Travel Guide

Gili Air is one of the three tropical Gili islands off the coast of Lombok in Indonesia. The island is calm enough to enjoy lazy evenings walking along the beaches with the absence of the Southeast Asia party crowd, yet vibrant enough that travelers will never be short of things to do. Gili Air translates to 'The Water Island' -- a fitting name when you consider the ample opportunities for water sports that exist here.

Things to Do in Gili Air

Enjoying the beaches and the scenery are among the best things to do on Gili Air. As an island, of course, the entirety of Gili Air's coast is a beautiful beach! For incredible sunset views head over to Jalan Pelangi Sunset View and watch the sky become illuminated in hues of red and orange. Gili Air is a great place to try your hand at watersports -- consider free diving or rent a boat to take you around the island.

Best Time to Visit Gili Air

The months of July and August, or December and January are the best times to visit Gili Air. At this time, rainfall is at its lowest and temperatures are hot with blue skies.
