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.
