Beach Hotels in Gili Islands

My second time staying and still as gorgeous as I remember. The staff are outstanding and really make the stay exceptional.

The staff - Amazing, so helpful, very welcoming, top notch polite and respectful. Shout out to Izan who was so nice. The establishment - Very clean, well kept, the rooms are quite close to each other but once inside we couldn't hear what was outside or next door. Very well decorated. The pool - Beautiful, warm, there is an arrangement of drinks and snacks in a "honesty bar" available. The spa - so peaceful, the staff is very nice and offer a very relaxing environment. The restaurants - Breakfast is very nice ("main course", platter of fresh fruit, coffee/tea, fresh fruit juice) and filling! We also had dinner at the Spanish/tapas restaurant that was delicious.

Everything. The overall vibe, the food, the beach area, the design of the restaurant and the villas.

Room with ocean view, such a nice bungalow! Very comfy beds, nice bathroom outdoors, very friendly staff and gorgeous beach location to have dinner. The beach right in front of the hotel is one of the nicest snorkel locations of GiliAir, and we were lucky to spot some turtles while snorkeling. The hotel organised us a horse with carriage to carry our lugage, as it is right on the other end of the island from where the harbour is.

Beautiful, every detail thought about. Incredibly friendly staff who bring you cold towels at the pool. Breakfast was amazing with a lot to offer.

Staff was wonderful. Everything was very clean and comfortable. Breakfast was amazing.

Mandala Beach Healing Rooms is hands down the best place I’ve ever stayed. Everything about it is just perfect—beautifully designed, peaceful, and so in tune with nature. From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the attention to detail. The outdoor pool facing the ocean is absolutely stunning, and the rooms are immaculately designed. The bathroom has this amazing partially open setup with a bathtub and shower surrounded by plants, making it feel like a little spa. The kitchen area is super convenient, with a coffee machine, complimentary fruits, and all the essentials. One of my favorite things was the mangrove right behind the resort. The corridor facing it is set up with swings, hammocks, and cozy spots to just relax and soak it all in. In the middle of the resort, there’s a peaceful Buddha statue and fountain under a passion fruit canopy, adding to the whole calming vibe. Everywhere you look, it’s just picture-perfect. You know how sometimes the place you stay ends up being the best part of your trip? That was Mandala for us. It wasn’t just accommodation—it was an experience. The staff here are amazing. A special shoutout to Herimalik, who went out of his way to help us when our boat was delayed due to bad weather. Even after his shift, he came to meet us late at night with a big smile. He was always there to help and made us feel so welcome. The rest of the staff do an incredible job keeping the place spotless and making sure guests have the best time. And the location is absolutely perfect. The beach is right in front of the resort, and the snorkeling is fantastic. If you’re looking for a place where you can truly unwind, connect with nature, and just have an unforgettable stay—this is it. Mandala Beach Healing Rooms is pure magic, and I can’t recommend it enough!

I have just stayed at Melmay which has recently been renovated to a great standard. From the moment I checked in I felt right at home. The staff were amazing and accommodated to my every need. I went to watch sunrise as it is just down the road. I usually skip breakfast but I am glad I didn’t with this one. The scrambled eggs with homemade toast were fantastic. Highly recommend.

Wonderful staff, a lovely clean room, clean pool. The room was not mildew smelling, which is a rarity around here. They prepared an adequate breakfast, and waited on us constantly! It is walking distance to everything, and they helped us arrange a bike, which was really fun. Thank you to everyone!!!

Nice and cosy environment, very clean and a real oasis within the island. Nice place to recharge.
