Villa Selalu Gili Gede

Villa Selalu is a contemporary four-bedroom villa on Gili Gede, listed by Mr & Mrs Smith and rated 10 out of 10 on Trip.com by recent guests. It is booked as a whole property, which makes it a strong choice for groups of friends or mature families who want a secret-Gilis hideaway to themselves.

The villa sleeps eight in four sea-view bedrooms, each with a super-king bed, air-conditioning and an en-suite bathroom; two have outdoor showers as well. Outside there is a 54 square metre infinity pool, a private beach and a pavilion-style barbecue area facing the sea. An on-site team handles daily housekeeping, and Chef Putu cooks for guests in a dedicated kitchen. There are three separate wifi networks, which is unusual for the area.

The pool is not fenced, so it is less suited to small children. Access is by boat from the Gili Gede jetty area near Pelangan; the team can help arrange transfers. Book through Mr & Mrs Smith or major booking platforms.
