Welcome to the Gilis: your one stop resource for everything that makes the Gili Islands so great—from the coolest restaurants and beach clubs, to top luxe staycation options and all the top Gili events. Of course, the Big Blue is a key aspect of what makes the Gili Islands so special. Learn about Blue Marlin Dive’s unique Gili Islands’ story and all the unusual marine creatures that call the Gilis home.

Meet Gili Air resident Rusty, who helps with recycling and now she has her own organic garden selling her produce. Staying on the sustainability theme, learn all about local environmental guardians the Gili Eco Trust, and the Projek Penyu turtle hatching and release program. Around 5,200 baby turtles have been released so far. Also we report on the beach clean up event on Gili T and the Luni x Sharks Bingo Night on Gili Air—raising funds for a good cause.

This issue, we profiled Christian Eiting, Pondok Santi chef from Germany and showcase the delicious Spanish tapas at KIOSKO Café on Gili Air. Wine connoisseurs don’t want to miss our BASK Wine tasting story. For some inspiration for your next stay in the Gili’s see our review of Cocana Resort, and Kuno Villas. Also see what happened at the inaugural Bunny Beach Carnival #1.
