The region offers many benefits of an international standard & a beauty that is comparable to some of the most famous resort areas worldwide:
– A cruising ground for yachts and other pleasure craft, enhanced by the development of an international standard marina
– A surfing mecca with two of the world’s most coveted top 20 waves a 10-minute speedboat ride away – Desert Point & Bangko Bangko
– A stunning coral reef system for diving and snorkelling both on Gili Gede and the surrounding 13 islands
Close proximity to Lombok Island (the mainland) – which has an existing tourism industry and many natural & spectacular attractions for those wanting to connect with a life that seems set in the past, a life not yet tainted by a huge growth in tourism – a land unspoiled by over-development and overcrowding
A culture which is unique and stable… with local people full of warmth and ready invitations to share their beautiful land with visitors
A fishing playground with an abundance of marlin, tuna and other game fish, providing you with a great opportunity to spend a day on the water, then have your catch BBQ’d on the beach that night
Access to the leading dive shop on the island with professional instructors for both beginners and experienced divers, with dive site options including the extremely challenging ‘Hammerhead Shark’ dive off the South of Lombok at the famous ‘Magnet Dive Site,’ along with “The Cathedral’ dive site for the pelagic big boys and schooling Barracuda and Tuna
A climate with only four months maximum of rainfall and a balmy water temperature of 28 degrees all year round
A location on the border of the Indian and Pacific Ocean where the weather is perfect almost 12 months of the year. The surrounding, mostly deserted, islands are a short boat ride for day trips, and offer pristine white sandy beaches and coral reefs comparable to the best in the world
The mainland – Lombok – a huge island with a population of 3 million inhabitants combining spectacular scenery with a feeling of a bygone era as development is minimal meaning many areas remain beautifully unspoiled. Here beach merges into jungle, and locals still look at victors with wonder and respect.
GILI GEDE • The Secret “Big Little” Island of Lombok
Just off Lombok’s tranquil southwest coast lies Gili Gede — the largest of the beautiful Sekotong “Secret Gilis,” yet still wonderfully intimate at only 4 km end-to-end. The island is dotted with a handful of friendly seaside villages, connected by sandy footpaths, coconut groves, and calm, palm-lined shores.
With no road traffic, no crowds, and no commercial clutter, Gili Gede feels like stepping into a slower, more soulful version of island life. Think warm light, traditional villages, and the peaceful rhythm of the sea — a place where the world feels simple again.
Local culture thrives here: fishing boats glide out at dawn, expert craftsmen shape wooden long-tail boats by hand, and pearl farmers tend to their aquaculture stations in the quiet bays. It’s an island where traditions aren’t displayed for tourists — they’re simply lived.
Out on the water, island-hopping and snorkelling reveal some of Sekotong’s best-kept secrets. Calm, protected reefs host vibrant coral gardens and an abundance of marine life — including sea turtles that often drift through around midday. Many guests are surprised by how pristine, colourful, and uncrowded the underwater world is here.
Whether you’re wandering the coastal paths, watching village life unfold, or exploring the surrounding islands by boat, Gili Gede offers a rare blend of authenticity and natural beauty — a true hidden gem where you can slow down, reconnect, and experience Indonesia at its most genuine.
