Gili Air in 4 days

If you are planning a short stay at Gili Air, you are probably wondering how long to stay there, how is the atmosphere on this little piece of island, where to stay… Here is what I can say about it after my 4 days spent on this island. Paradise Island.

How long in Gili Air?

4 days in Gili Air was a good compromise to end my tour 2 weeks in Indonesia. Finally some rest and relaxation in a little corner of paradise!

Staying there for more than four days for a 15-day tour would have been disproportionate… 4 days are more than enough to decompress well before returning home and finding our metro-work-sleep rhythm of life.

Gili Air in 4 days – What I liked

I loved this little piece of the island: the relaxed atmosphere, the car-free life, the restaurants, the people, the sun, in short, a bit of everything!

It is a place where tourism has not damaged the place too much. Indeed, there are no cars, no big hotels so no mass tourism and not a lot of souvenir shops either ...

I liked the contact with the locals, which is always done with a smile and in the "zenitude" specific to this little piece of the island.

Finally, I loved the hotel I booked: Unzipp Bungalows

It is located in front of the most beautiful snorkeling spots on the island and also has a beautiful swimming pool. In addition, the restaurant where breakfast is also taken is facing the sea with the sea air and the sound of the waves… The price paid was interesting for GILI AIR: 37 Euros per night with breakfasts included.

Gili Air in 4 days – What I didn’t like

Always tell you yes… because we have unpleasant surprises!

We had gone to the pier 2 days before our departure to validate the date and time of our reservation. We were told: YES on everything.

However, when the day before departure, we went to check in as agreed on the 1st departure of the next day and we were told that there was no more room! We had to talk, negotiate and we finally arrived at our ends.

Another example :

The day before departure, I ask the hotel if it is possible for them to serve us breakfast at 7 a.m. Of course, the answer is YES! but the next day, no one was there to prepare breakfast for us.

Take a look at the hotel, the activities that can be practiced on GILI AIR and the return trip BALI - GILI AIR (where to find tickets, at what prices ...): WHAT TO DO IN GILI AIR?
