ABOUT GEDE

  • Gili Gede is known as one of the “Secret Gilis” which are a group of small islands off the coast of southwest Lombok. With a length of 4km x 1.6km at its widest point, the “dog nose” as it’s known, the island is quite long and narrow.
  • Gede is home to five small villages of approximately 1,400 inhabitants (located mainly in the centre and southern parts of the island) who are predominantly fishermen.
  • Paved tracks wind through Gede and run along most of the coastline, making it ideal for push bike riding or walking.
  • The island sits within a sheltered bay that is suitable for sailing or pleasure cruising.
  • There are long stretches of pristine, white sand beaches fringed by coral reefs and perfect for diving and snorkelling.
  • Villa Selalu’s hilltop position overlooks the splendour of this natural paradise.
