[Article] Enjoy The Waves From Biba Beach Village

welcome on Gili Air!

Hello everyone! Are you foreigner who wants to visit Indonesia, especially Gili Air in Lombok? Or you guys, are Indonesians who want to visit Gili Air?

Take a look at this one!

Gili Air is one of the famous three Gilis in West Nusa Tenggara. You know, they are Gili Trawangan (which is so crowded comparing to the others Gilis), Gili Meno and Gili Air. It is close from Mataram, Lombok. Gili Air is the closest island from Lombok island. By the way, Gili means island. 

Gili Air is the right side

How to get there?

You can reach Gili Air from Lombok by boat. Either it is fast boat which cost IDR 350k for one boat, or slow boat which cost IDR 15k and will go together with another 40 people in one big boat. It takes only 15 minutes. You may go there from Bali. I've heard it takes 2 hours from Bali. Depend on which harbor you will go.

Where I should stay?
 
One of good places you can try for staying is Biba Beach Village resort. This resort located is 10-15minutes from harbor by cidomo. Cidomo is one of transportation there since there are no motorized things on three gilis. This cidomo will take you there and cost about IDR 100k as I assume this is the normal cost for cidomo in those three islands.

welcome drink with an amazing view. So relaxing

This resort located next to the beach. I grant you a nice view to the beach with a beautiful sound of waves. It might be not as formal as other hotels in Java, but it is such a unique design they have. It's more like a bungalow which provide you nice main bed, extra bed, fine air co, fan, bathroom, cupboard, safe box, coffee tea water are also provided. And for sure it has veranda to relax yourself there. One thing that is not provided there, Television! But hey come on! You come for snorkeling, diving and playing on the beaches so why do you need television then?





What about the cost per night?

Well, comparing to the other hotels outside three gilis, this is absolutely fine since you will spend IDR 900k per night including breakfast (there are several type of breakfast like Local breakfast, western breakfast, etc). This is equal to USD 60-70. Cost range from IDR 600k to IDR 1million (around USD 50-100 per night). 

How is the situation there?

Quiet. Sure it is quiet as the island also quiet itself. You will have a good sleep with wave sound as a backsound. Really quiet and calm. It will gives you a good times to energize your body and soul.The staffs are so friendly and helpful. They will help and provide everything you need for your stays there.

How to contact them?

You can contact +6281803694439 for reservation. They accept cash and credit card but due to power outage on the islands, you better bring enough cash or pray the power won't off when you pay them with credit card 😄. Don't  worry, ATM are provided there. Remember, they will great and say your name when you arrived there. Like I told you, they are extremely friendly. for other information you need, you can contact that phone or visit www.bibabeach.com.

 So... are you ready to energize your body and soul there?  😄
