"Julien and the team at Anahata have managed to nail concierge. Definitely worth the splurge, and I couldn't recommend a stay here more highly."H. · Oct 2024
Six villas, each with its own pool, on the traffic-free island where you can actually stay a while, with Meno and Trawangan a short boat ride away whenever you want them.
Anahata is named for the heart, the still centre that everything turns around. Six private-pool villas, a handful of guests at a time, run by Julien and a small team who learn your name before you arrive. No lobbies, no crowds, no rush. Just your own quiet corner of a tropical island, and all the time in the world to enjoy it.
Most places on the Gilis you visit.
This one you settle into.
Here the light does most of the talking. Days are long, and slow, and entirely your own.
Six villas, and that's the whole place: three intimate Lumbungs for couples, one larger villa for families, and the two new Sundara villas on the calm north of the island. Traditional architecture, modern comfort, and a private pool you'll never have to share. Bicycles, daily cleaning and wifi come with every stay; breakfast is included at the Lumbung and Two-Bedroom villas.
A hundred square metres of warm wood, palm-leaf roofs and calm, opening straight onto your own pool and garden. A king bed under a mosquito net, an open-air ensuite bathroom, a terrace for slow mornings. Travelling as a group? Two of the Lumbungs can be connected through the garden, for groups of up to 4 people.
A hundred and thirty square metres of tropical home, with a full kitchen, a proper dining table, a sofa to sink into, and two bedrooms around a private pool. Made for families and friends who want their own space without giving up the island.
Sundara Satu and Sundara Dua are two brand new villas, side by side, each with its own pool. Grand tiled joglo roofs over carved wood, an open living pavilion, and a walled garden on the north side of the island. One double bedroom and one twin room. Made for families and for couples. About 150 m² each. Each villa has its own full kitchen, and a breakfast basket can be delivered to the villa for IDR 200,000 per person.
No sun-lounger queues. No shared anything. Just the water, the garden, and a tray of fruit and fresh juice drifting over to meet you, for as long as you'd like to stay in it.
The whole island runs at this pace. So can you.
Everyone agonises over which Gili to pick. Here's the secret the islands won't tell you: you don't have to. Stay where there's everything, and hop to the others whenever the mood takes you. We arrange the boats.
Reefs and turtles off the beach, dive schools, yoga at dawn, every restaurant you'd want, and a low-key bar scene with its own charm. The island you can happily lose three weeks to, and the best value of the three.
Beautiful, sleepy, and perfect in small doses. Boat over for a long lunch and an expensive cocktail by the sea, then come home to your own pool before you get bored of paradise.
The loud one. Go for the sunset swings and a proper night out, then a ten-minute boat back to silence and a bed that isn't a hostel. The best of both, on your terms.
Public & private boats run between all three islands all day. Ask us, and we'll sort it.
Twenty minutes by boat from Lombok, a couple of hours from Bali. No cars, no scooters, just bikes and horse carts. We'll arrange your transfer from the airport to your door.
