After vacationing for a week in Gili Air, I put together this video to share my tips and advice to get the most out of your stay.

This laid back tiny island off the coast of Lombok has a slow and relaxed pace of life with beautiful beaches and sunset views.

Some of the the highlights and not to miss places are:
-Mowie's Restaurant for breakfast, lunch and wine happy hour from 4-7PM.
-Camilla's Beach Club for the best dinners, especially anything seafood related.
-Legend's Bar for Thursday night live music parties and good music any night of the week
-Le Saté Bar for really good lunch/dinner small plates and pétanque (la patronne est française)
-3 Island Snorkeling Tour for only 90K Rupiah.

Other advice:
-Stay on the North or East side of the island to be out of earshot of the mosque blasting the call to prayer starting at 4AM.
-Bring earplugs because there's construction going on in most areas of the island.
-You can do your PADI dive certification on the island
-Eka Jaya is the best and most reliable boat transfer company from Bali to the Gilis
-Negotiate on the ticket price. I paid 600K round trip (which included van transfers) from another boat company.

    Thanks a lot for the advices but could you tell ne how much a dinner is in the Restaurants ? Like the price ranges ?
  • we maps you might come across in the island are all wrong lol- part of the fun is to get lost inside the village and roads- I cycled and got ripped when I lived there for almost 1 year
