Villa Tokay
Boutique Hotel
★★★★★
Gili Air, Indonesia
Tucked away in the tropical gardens of Gili Air, Villa Tokay combines sustainable design, private pool villas, and relaxed island living just moments from the beach.
About the hotel
Located on the peaceful island of Gili Air, just off the northwest coast of Lombok, Villa Tokay offers a tranquil retreat within walking distance of white-sand beaches, turquoise waters, and the island’s laid-back cafés and restaurants. With no motorised vehicles on Gili Air, guests experience a slower pace of life where bicycles and horse-drawn carts replace traffic, creating an atmosphere defined by nature and simplicity.
Villa Tokay is built around the idea that luxury and sustainability can exist together. The property embraces environmentally conscious practices while providing personalised hospitality, spacious accommodation, and experiences designed to immerse guests in the rhythm of island life. Whether staying for a romantic escape or a family holiday, the focus remains on privacy, comfort, and meaningful connections with the surrounding environment.
Architecture plays a central role in the property’s identity. Bamboo features prominently throughout the villas, where sweeping rooflines, handcrafted details, tropical gardens, and open-plan living spaces create a seamless connection between indoors and outdoors. Each villa has its own individual character while maintaining a contemporary aesthetic inspired by the natural beauty of the Gili Islands.
Beyond its distinctive design, Villa Tokay offers experiences that celebrate both relaxation and adventure. Floating breakfasts, spa treatments, snorkelling excursions, cycling, beachfront dining, and personalised island experiences encourage guests to explore Gili Air while enjoying the comfort and privacy of the resort. The property’s commitment to sustainability and local culture further shapes an experience that feels both authentic and thoughtfully curated.
Today, Villa Tokay appeals to couples, honeymooners, families, and travellers looking for a more intimate alternative to larger island resorts. Combining boutique hospitality, sustainable luxury, and a peaceful location, it provides an ideal base for discovering one of Indonesia’s most relaxed island destinations.

Creator experience
“Villa Tokay felt more like a private island home than a hotel. I loved how peaceful everything was, from slow mornings by the pool to evenings spent watching the island settle into silence. There was a simplicity to the experience that made it so memorable, and it reminded me that sometimes the most special places are the ones that let you completely switch off from the outside world.”
