A small bungalow escape,
on an island that still feels small.
Gili Air is the middle island; smaller than Trawangan, livelier than Meno,
and easily the best of the three if you want real quiet without being stranded.
Mowies has sat right on its west beach since 2014: a handful of beachfront
bungalows, an open-air kitchen, and a saltwater lagoon where the afternoon
just dissolves.
Ten steps from your porch to the sand. Sleep with the windows open; it's only the waves.
Kitchen Open All Day
Fresh fish, wood-fired pizza, sambal made by hand. Breakfast is on us when you book direct.
Work Here, If You Must
Starlink Wi-Fi strong enough for video calls. Or put your laptop away; we won't judge.
Family-Run, Warmly
No front-desk scripts. We know the guides, the dive shops, the secret spots; just ask.
Step onto the estate
Beachfront,
barefoot,
all of it.
A small estate tucked into Gili Air's west beach; coconut palms,
open-sided pavilions, and sand that runs straight to the reef.
Nothing towering, nothing loud. A proper beachfront property
where the garden, the kitchen, and the sea all touch each other.
Six distinct bungalow styles across eleven private rooms. Snug
garden retreats for a budget stay, a deluxe studio for honeymoons,
a family room that sleeps four, all a few steps from the water and
all with the same soft bedding and open windows.
One of the best restaurants
on Gili Air, and it's ours.
Breakfast runs all morning. Wood-fired pizzas come out of the oven
blistered and fast. The fish on the grill was on a boat an hour ago.
And when the sky turns peach, the cocktails come out and the acoustic
set starts. Locals and guests, long tables, no rush; the good kind
of dinner.

J'ai pris du poulet satay, c'était bon ! Mention spéciale pour les WC 🚻 qui sont particulièrement bien entretenus ! Je tenais à le souligner car c'est rare 😅 ! 🫣
The salmon I had was ok but the green detox juice was fantastic. Service is good! The view is unbeatable, amazing. Very romantic. Recommend come here a bit before sunset time and you can find a good seat.

Iedereen was zeer vriendelijk en probeerde er aan bij te dragen om je verblijf zo aangenaam mogelijk te maken. Toen we een nacht bij wilden boeken waren ze zeer flexibel en dacht men goed mee om een oplossing te voorzien.
De locatie was perfect en de zonsondergangen waren hier elke avond prachtig.

Before you pack
The things everyone wants to know.
Fly into Bali (DPS) or Lombok (LOP), then take a fast boat to Gili Air harbour. From Bali it's the fast boat from Padangbai, Serangan or Amed; about 2 to 2.5 hours. From Lombok it's a quick transfer from Bangsal harbour; 10 to 15 minutes on the water. From the harbour, we're a short walk or cidomo (horse-cart) ride away, and we can arrange pickup when you book.
Depends on what you're after. Trawangan is the lively one; bars, crowds, party energy. Meno is the tiny quiet one; beautiful but very little food or nightlife. Gili Air is the middle: quiet when you want it, a handful of good restaurants when you don't, and by far the best snorkelling and diving base of the three. Most people who've tried all three come back to Gili Air.
May to October is the dry season; bluer skies, calmer water, easier boat rides. June and September are the sweet spot: warm, dry, fewer crowds. November to March is still beautiful but brings afternoon rain and a little chop on the boats. Mowies is open year-round and the reef is fantastic any month.
Free daily breakfast, a welcome mocktail on arrival, VIP priority check-in, and your best rate; we match any OTA price. Plus a real human at the end of a WhatsApp message who knows the island, the boats, and the best dive guides by name.
Six bungalow types and eleven rooms in total, from 20 to 40 sqm. Cosy garden bungalows for budget stays, deluxe studios for honeymoons, a family room that sleeps four. All beachfront, all with air-con, Starlink Wi-Fi, daily housekeeping, and a private porch with something worth sitting on.
Snorkel the turtle reef off our beach, dive the Halik and Shark Point walls, island-hop to Meno and Trawangan, cycle the whole island in 90 minutes, yoga at sunrise, cocktails at sunset. We book everything at reception; no running around, no booking fees.
“Come for a few nights.
Leave planning the next trip back.”
