Chill Out Bar & Restaurant

Chill Out is a beach bar and restaurant on Gili Air's south-east shore, next to what it calls the best area on the island for swimming. You can eat inside or out on the sand, starting with breakfast on the beach and finishing with cold drinks in the evening.

The menu is long and varied, from Indonesian dishes to international plates, and the nightly seafood barbecue is the main draw. Dishes can be served family-style, which suits larger groups. Chill Out also runs a daily snorkelling boat trip straight from its beach (10:00–15:00, gear included, with a lunch stop on Gili Meno that you pay for separately), plus sunset trips and private charters.

The same owners run Chill Out Bungalows, with air-conditioned traditional-style rooms and breakfast included, and the CoCo Breeze Spa nearby. It is a short walk from the harbour. The snorkel trip is a convenient way to see the turtles and statues without walking to the harbour stalls.
