Gili Teak Resort

Gili Teak Resort is a small boutique stay on the sunset side of Gili Trawangan, with the beach around 50 metres from the cottages. Its setting is one of the quieter corners of the island, away from nightclub and traffic noise, with an open view towards the sea and sunset. The resort suits guests looking for unhurried island days, comfortable accommodation and easy access to the coast.

The accommodation consists of spacious teak cottages built from reclaimed timber taken from old Javanese houses. Each cottage has its own wood grain and character, while practical features include air conditioning, daily housekeeping, rain showers, twin sinks, blackout curtains, fresh water and Wi-Fi. A freshwater pool provides an additional place to relax between time at the beach and other island activities.

Gili Teak’s food and drink spaces include an ocean-view restaurant, a sunset beach bar and a pool lounge. The approach is relaxed and geared towards slow meals in an outdoor island setting. The weekly Sunday Supper is a wood-fired beach barbecue served as a themed shared feast, with side dishes, a vegetarian main and a matching cocktail. It is arranged around a long table and reservations are recommended because places can fill ahead.

Beyond eating and swimming, the resort’s setting works well for sea-based and low-key activities. Snorkelling around the reef can include sightings of sea turtles, while cidomos provide a traditional way to travel around the island at sunset. Spa treatments can take place in the cottage, although a quiet afternoon with a book is equally in keeping with the resort’s pace.

For travellers exploring Lombok and the Gilis, Gili Teak Resort offers a calm base on Gili Trawangan’s west-facing coast. The combination of reclaimed-teak accommodation, beach dining, a pool and sunset views makes it a natural fit for couples and independent travellers seeking a peaceful stay with food and the sea close at hand.
