Villa Kayu

We recently enjoyed a wonderfully relaxing four-night stay at Villa Kayu on Gili Air and couldn’t have asked for a more ideal tropical escape. Our beautifully presented villa, one of two (Villa Metapi and Villa Rinjani) was completely private, offering a peaceful sanctuary to unwind and recharge. With two spacious King bedrooms, each with its own enormous bathroom (complete with thoughtful touches) there was ample space for both adults and children to feel completely at home. The kitchen was well-equipped and functional—perfect for preparing light meals or snacks—and the generous dining and living area made it easy to gather together without ever feeling cramped. The highlight, though, was the private pool and outdoor shower, sun-drenched by day, invitingly lit by evening—surrounded by lush tropical gardens and lounging spaces. It was a favourite for both morning dips and afternoon cool-downs, and the setting made us feel like we were in our own private resort. Villa Kayu is well located on Gili Air, close enough to walk to great cafes, restaurants, and the beach, yet far enough to enjoy peaceful seclusion. We would highly recommend these villas to couples, families, or friends travelling together. A true hidden gem on a magical little island.
