Villa Tokay

Villa Tokay is a small luxury resort on the west side of Gili Air, made up of individually designed villas set in tropical gardens. Most villas, including The Leaf, The Pearl, The Tide and The Shore, have their own private pool, while The Swell sleeps up to ten for families or groups. There are also lower-priced Sunset Rooms around a shared pool. It holds a 4.9 Google rating from around 250 reviews.

Booking direct includes in-villa breakfast, bikes for adults and children, snorkelling gear, pick-up from the harbour and Starlink wifi. Floating breakfasts and massages in your villa can be added. The resort restaurant, KAI, serves Indonesian-influenced five and seven-course degustation menus and is open to non-residents by reservation.

The team runs the resort with an eye on sustainability and local employment. It is a short bike ride from the harbour and close to the sunset beaches on the west coast. Book through the website or WhatsApp; the larger villas fill early in July, August and over Christmas.
