On Gili Air's quiet northwest coast, this sandy but tidy compound has 25 basic bungalows (ranging from budget-friendly and fan-cooled to mildly snazzy) and an open-sided beach-bar/restaurant that's a delightful place to linger. This enterprising clan has a few other guesthouses nearby. It also rents bikes and snorkelling gear, and can take care of your laundry.
