Pondok Santi

This secluded beachfront escape promises refined relaxation on Gili Trawangan. On the southern shores of Gili Trawangan, this stylish escape has an away-from-it-all exclusivity. Once the former grounds of an ancient coconut plantation, today the hotel is secluded within a sprawling 19-acre estate – just a short stroll from the buzz of the island's main street, this is the perfect retreat for guests wanting uncompromised beachside relaxation. 

The ultimate island getaway, coconut palms provide a gorgeous natural shade and there's always a thatched day bed nearby to encourage any-time relaxation. At its centre, the hotel has an infinity-edge pool with umbrellas and loungers, while on the private stretch of white sand you can bask in day beds, hammocks and refreshments made to order. For adventures on the water, there's always snorkelling equipment, stand-up paddleboards and canoes available to hand. You'll also find surfboards thanks to the island's only surf break being just minutes away. Further offshore, the hotel's hand-built private outrigger provides exclusive island-hopping day trips and day-or-night private cruises.
