The hype
Travelers love the design and the friendly staff, but opinions on the food at Skinny Dip are mixed.
Lumi Hotel
$65-120 / noć
Rezerviraj ovo ako You want the Gili T sunset vibe and a social pool scene without the chaotic frat-party energy of the harbor side.
Zašto Ljudima Se Sviđa
- Prime sunset location on the quieter west coast
- Bohemian 'lumbung' cottage aesthetics that look great on camera
- Free bicycle rentals make exploring the island effortless
Brzi pregled: A stylish, Instagram-ready base that's better for sunset cocktails than deep sleep or serious swimming.
Pregledano od @alicia_katharina: I completely fell in love with the design at Lumi. It feels like a modern hideaway tucked in the jungle. The bathroom was a massive highlight for me—so spacious and stylish. It was the perfect quiet place to recharge after exploring the island.
Što su rekli gosti koji su boravili ovdje
Reality check
The 'Cocoon' rooms are undeniably small (22sqm)—claustrophobic for two people with large luggage.
- You prioritize sunset views over proximity to the ferry harbor
- You want a social vibe with DJs but want to be in bed by midnight
- You love the 'tropical modern' wood-and-white aesthetic

FAQ & Skriveni savjeti
Sve što zaista trebate znati prije nego što rezervirate.
Is the pool renovation disruptive?
Yes, until Feb 28, 2026, one pool is closed. Expect some construction noise during the day and crowding at the remaining pool.
Is it strictly adults-only?
No. While it has an adult vibe, children 0-4 stay free. However, it's not geared toward kids (no kids club).
How far is the party strip?
It's on the opposite side of the island (West). A 10-15 minute bike ride or 25-minute walk to the main party zone.
Is breakfast included?
Usually yes. It's a buffet during high occupancy, but switches to a la carte (which guests prefer) when it's quieter.
Can I swim in the ocean here?
Not easily. The seabed is rocky and shallow. You need to walk north or wear reef shoes. It's better for wading and sunsets.
Is there a gym?
There is a 'fitness center' but it's basic. For a real workout, bike to GiliFit (10 mins away).

5 stvari koje trebate znati prije nego što dođete
💡The 'fresh' water in the shower is desalinated and can feel slightly slimy/salty.
💡Power cuts are common on Gili T; the hotel has a generator, but wifi might dip.
💡The 'Cocoon' bathroom offers very little privacy—better be comfortable with your roommate.
💡You will hear the mosque call to prayer at 4:30 AM; it's part of the island's fabric.
💡The free bikes are often a bit rusty/clunky—check the brakes before you ride off.
