Santigi Villa

Beautifully designed villa with a fantastic private pool and lush gardens that felt like our own oasis. The location was perfect—peaceful and quiet in the north of Gili Trawangan, yet only a short cycle to great restaurants, beaches, snorkelling and diving. The villa was spotless and exceptionally well maintained throughout our stay. The real highlight, however, was the people who run the place Lutpi was outstanding: always available when we needed him, arranging bikes, transport and activities, yet somehow almost invisible the rest of the time, giving us complete privacy while quietly ensuring everything ran perfectly (my photos illustrate greeting drink, the way he helped us celebrate my sons birthday and invisible ways he went the extra mile by tidying our shoes, arranging our bike). He would politely ask each day when it would suit us to clean the house (and he cleaned it like it was our first day arriving - without fail). Alfredo is the owner and, whilst he is now living abroad - was equally exceptional from the moment we booked, helping us solve travel problems before we even arrived and always responding quickly, warmly and professionally. He also built the place and you’ll understand the love he’s placed in the place if you stay. Also extremely nice guy (hence why I’m writing such a glowing review). Together they made what was already a beautiful villa feel like a truly special place to stay. Without reservation, one of the best places we’ve ever stayed in (and we’ve stayed in a lot of places).

Absolutely nothing. If we return to Gili Trawangan, this will be our first choice again.

Very well maintained and very spacious. Beautiful garden with lovely landscaping and mature trees. Fantastic host Lupti was great and was always polite and checking when he could clean the villa and assist us with anything!

Upstairs bedroom was a bit noisy below when people were walking around. Not a huge big deal though.
