Night Life
Gili Air doesn’t have the full on party vibe of big brother Gili Trawangan but it still has enough entertainment to keep the average traveller smiling. In high season expect to stumble across the occasional psychedelic fluro `Goa style’ beach party with raging techno beats that sometimes don’t stop for the best part of two full days!

Very popular with the older Bali expats, the events are a throw back to the acid house revolution of yesteryear and are no less tame than their late 1980’s counterparts. For those of a less excitable persuasion there’s plenty of social drinking fun to be had.
Most beachfront bars are no frills and all usually close early around 11pm.

Corner Bar is the closest to the harbour and is little more than the name suggests, a set of barugas and tables and chairs on the beach.

Legend Bar has the weekend Wednesday party night during the high season months with lots of reggae and house music and is also the location for the infamous Full and Black Moon beach parties.

Star Bar (next to Blue Marlin Dive) is a popular post dive drinking spot for the expatriate dive community and visiting scuba enthusiasts. Imported spirits available.

Zipp’s (next to Manta Dive) serves food and drinks for the Manta Dive operation and is a popular meeting spot for late afternoon beers. There’s a reasonable amount of restaurants on Gili Air offering good value varieties of Indonesian, Western and European food. Mostly located along the main strip of beach on the east coast, each café and restaurant shares the same stunning views across to Mount Rinjani.

Frangipani Garden Restaurant is situated at Coconut Cottages about half way up the main beach strip and is setback in the coconut plantations serving appetising local and Western dishes. The Sasak inspired `Rice Table’ needs to be ordered at least one day in advance and is a perfect feast for small and medium size groups and couples.

Gili Air Santay is renowned for their Thai dishes although it’s only one example of their wide selection of cuisines from around the world.

Mirage Coffee Bar and Bakery is the place to head to for a full English breakfast. Although situated on the quieter far northen side of the island the trip is well worth the effort for tasty homemade sandwiches and is an ideal spot for a sunset drink.

SURF on GILI AIR
What Gili Air is less known for is the fickle but sometimes quality surf scene. The right hand break to the south west of the island is known as `Playgili’ and is far from a playground as the wave jacks up for a speed run over the jagged coral heads and rocks providing solid barrelling sections.
