WHY THE E.D.G.E LIST
Read against Forbes Travel Guide’s E.D.G.E. criteria
Four measures, one journey. Here is how the Dual-Island passage between Lombok and Gili Meno answers each.
EXCEPTIONAL ACCESS
Beyond where the road ends
Bagno Di Gili sits at Turtle Point on the quiet northern shore of Gili Meno, one of three small islands off Lombok’s northwest coast – reachable by a smooth fifteen-minute boat crossing from the mainland.
The journey begins at the beach in front of your Lombok Villa: no terminals, no queues, no waiting.
There are no cars on Gili Meno, no crowds, none of Bali’s crowded coastline. Just one private crossing, arranged around you, opening onto an island still largely untouched – whre turtles are waiting for you.
DARING INNOVATION
A Love Letter to Lombok, Indonesia
Family-owned and singular in its kind, The Lombok Lodge Hospitality® moves guests through experiences most properties would split across separate bookings, separate guides, separate days.
Vespa rides to the Sendang Gile waterfalls. Open-Fire Lunches on the beach. Sunset Theatres, Bonfires on the Beach, Indonesian Cooking Classes, PADI Diving, and swimming alongside giant Sea Turtles.
Nothing here is scheduled so much as choreographed – mainland, reef and rainforest woven into a single unfolding day, with every handoff invisible and every detail already handled.
GLOBAL STEWARDSHIP
Guardianship of reef and rainforest
Turtle Point takes its name seriously. Along Gili Meno’s shoreline, the property’s conservation work protects the very nesting grounds it’s named for, while the mainland lodge holds its own quiet commitment to marine and forest conservation.
Sustainability here isn’t a line in a brochure. It’s a daily practice – unremarkable, unannounced, and simply how things are done.
ELEVATED EXPERIENCES
Five-star composure, even barefoot on the sand
A king-size bed and dressing inside an air-conditioned Safari Tent, Acqua di Parma Amenities, twice-daily Housekeeping and your own 20-meter Infinity Pool.
Your own private Beach Gazebo at the water’s edge and the comfort of the mainland Villa, carried across the water without compromise.
The Edge List celebrates journeys, not just destinations
This is exactly what we set out to build

Frequent Asked Questions
Is Gili Lombok part of Bali or Lombok?
The Gili Islands belong to Lombok, not Bali – sitting just off Lombok’s northwest coast in North Lombok Regency. That’s what makes this journey possible: guests can combine mainland Lombok’s villas with Gili Meno’s barefoot island luxury in a single, seamless trip – all within a short private boat crossing, without ever needing to travel to or from Bali.
What is the Gili Lombok Dual-Island Journey
A curated two-leg escape recognized by Forbes Travel Guide’s 2026 Edge List – beginning at a private beach villa on Lombok’s mainland and continuing to Bagno Di Gili’s beachfront safari tent on Gili Meno, connected by a private 15-minute boat crossing.
