Yut's Inn Flower Paradise

Yut's Inn Flower Paradise is a small family-run resort on the beachfront of Gili Gede, overlooking the calm waters of the bay towards the Lombok mainland. It has just six units: two family rooms, two bamboo bungalows and two wooden bungalows, set in a garden full of bougainvillea a short walk from the island jetty.

The bungalows are rustic but tastefully furnished with teak, comfortable beds and air conditioning, and terraces face the sea and the sunrise. The small restaurant at the front serves Indonesian dishes and fresh fish, and staff are happy to adapt meals, including gluten-free options. Kayaks are free for guests, and the hosts arrange snorkelling and island-hopping trips. Wi-Fi is fast in the restaurant but weaker in the rooms, and, as across Gili Gede, tap water is brackish.

Book through the website or by phone. Boats to Gili Gede leave from Tembowong on the Sekotong mainland.
