Gili Tree Houses

Nestled in the azure embrace of the Indonesian archipelago lies Gili Trawangan, the largest of the iconic Gili Islands. A true embodiment of paradise on earth, this tropical paradise attracts discerning travellers in search of a serene escapade.

The journey to Gili Trawangan is a story in itself. The island beckons from afar, accessible only by a three-hour boat ride from Bali. The journey offers glimpses of turquoise seas teeming with vibrant sea turtles and a spectrum of marine life that makes the anticipation all the more thrilling.

On arrival, the pristine white sand beaches, fringed with swaying palm trees, confirm the island's reputation as a slice of heaven. In this tranquil sanctuary, where the hum of traffic is a foreign concept, visitors are transported to a time of simplicity and unspoiled beauty.

Nestled in this Eden-like setting are the renowned Gili Tree Houses. Consisting of two exquisite villas, these accommodations promise an elevated experience, both figuratively and literally. Nestled among the island's native palm trees, guests enjoy panoramic view of the verdant surroundings, with the occasional glimpse of the island's avian and wildlife inhabitants.

The interiors of these villas are a testament to the seamless blend of luxury and nature. A majestic coconut tree is the centrepiece, echoing the organic feel of the villa. The amenities are equally plush, with a private plunge pool for refreshing dips, state-of-the-art air conditioning and a spacious terrace adorned with cosy furniture inviting guests to lounge and soak up the surrounding tropical splendour.

While the allure of the Gili Tree Houses may entice guests to remain ensconced in their luxurious cocoons, the world outside beckons with countless adventures. Just a five-minute walk leads to a mesmerising beach where snorkelling reveals an underwater world of pristine marine splendour. To add to the Gili experience, Tree Houses offer complimentary bicycles. Imagine, as daylight fades, a leisurely bike ride to the beach's sunset point to witness the horizon painted in shades of gold and crimson.

For those tempted by this enchanting offer, prices for a villa at Gili Tree Houses start at around €220. However, for the savvy traveller, last-minute deals are often available on booking.com. And to put the icing on the cake, every booking includes a delicious breakfast spread.
