The hype
Travelers universally adore the staff and the private pool breakfast, calling it a 'dream' stay.
Anahata - Tropical Private Villas
$120-200 / ღამეში
დაჯავშენე ეს თუ You want a private pool sanctuary that feels like a secret garden, far from the party crowd but close enough to bike to sunset.
რატომ უყვართ ხოლმე
- Private plunge pools in every villa that are actually clean
- Breakfast served on your private terrace is consistently rated 'best on the island'
- Baba and the staff treat you like family, not just room numbers
სწრაფი გადახედვა: A serene, eco-chic hideaway that nails the 'tropical romance' vibe, provided you can sleep through the 4 AM mosque prayers.
გადამოწმებული @dalestravelguides-ის მიერ: I found this hidden gem on Gili Air and it was exactly the escape I needed. Waking up to a floating breakfast in my private pool and ending the day in a silk kimono felt so luxurious. It’s the perfect mix of jungle vibes and beach life.

Reality check
The 'free bikes' are a nice perk but often have dodgy brakes or flat tires—check them before you ride.
- You crave privacy and want to skinny dip in your own plunge pool
- You are a vegetarian or love fresh, healthy breakfasts (vegan options are excellent)
- You want a boutique, personal experience rather than a faceless resort
სუფთობა და მოვლა
9.5
- Housekeeping: Daily cleaning is thorough; guests consistently mention the pool is kept free of leaves and debris.
- Bathroom hygiene: Outdoor bathrooms are kept surprisingly spotless, though nature (ants/geckos) is always nearby.
- Maintenance: Villas are relatively new and well-maintained; AC works well, though 'paper thin walls' are a structural reality.
- Linens & towels: Fresh and clean, though one review noted 'yellow pillowcases' in the past. Generally high quality.
- Odors & scents: Fresh tropical air; no complaints of mustiness, just the occasional whiff of burning leaves from neighbors.

სასარგებლო
- There are no cars on Gili Air; you arrive by horse cart (cidomo) or walking.
- The pool is a plunge pool—great for cooling off, too small for laps.
- Power cuts happen on the island; bring a power bank just in case.
რა გადაიტანოთ
- Headlamp or flashlight (crucial for the walk back from dinner)
- High-quality earplugs (better than the foam ones provided)
- Mosque-appropriate cover-up if you plan to walk near the village center
ოთახის გენი
საუკეთესო არჩევანი
- 1-Bedroom Villa: Perfect for couples, offers the most privacy and romance.
თავიდან აცილებული ოთახები
- Family Villa (2-Bedroom): Avoid if you value bathroom privacy, as the single bathroom is shared between both bedrooms.

“Hi Baba, we are so excited to stay! If possible, could we please request a villa furthest from the road for maximum quiet? We also love the vegetarian breakfast options.”
ხშირი კითხვები და დამალული რჩევები
ყველაფერი, რაც ნამდვილად უნდა იცოდე ჯავშნამდე.
Is the pool actually private?
Yes, it's a private plunge pool within your walled garden, though noise travels over the walls.
How far is the beach?
About a 7-8 minute walk or a 3-minute bike ride to the nearest beach.
Is there air conditioning?
Yes, the bedrooms have AC, which is essential for the tropical heat.
Do they serve alcohol?
They have a minibar, but this is more of a 'breakfast and chill' place; plenty of bars are a short walk away.
Can I pay with a credit card?
Yes, but expect an extra fee (usually 3%). Cash (IDR) is preferred.
Is it suitable for digital nomads?
Wifi is generally good, but the lack of a proper desk and potential power cuts might make it tricky for serious work.
შიდა რჩევები
- ✨
Ask Baba to organize a snorkeling trip; his local connections often get you better rates and guides.
- ✨
The 'Family Villa' and one of the 1-bedroom villas can be connected via a garden door for larger groups.
- ✨
Don't rely on the in-room safe for super high-value items; it's a standard small hotel safe.
5 რამ, რაც უნდა იცოდე სანამ წახვალ
💡The 'wardrobe' space is very limited; you might be living out of your suitcase.
💡The outdoor bathrooms are beautiful but mean you might meet a gecko while brushing your teeth.
💡The path to the hotel turns into a mud pit after heavy rain.
💡There are no TVs in the rooms—bring a tablet if you need Netflix.
💡The 'kitchen' in the villa is more of a coffee/tea station than a place to cook meals.
