Getting there
Planes
Bali’s Ngurah Rai airport is the main international hub. From here, flights to Lombok take 30 minutes.
Boats
The fast boat from Bali departs each morning from Serangan, taking 90 minutes to reach Gili Gede direct. If staying at Villa Selalu, a 90-minute transfer from Lombok’s airport to Tembowong before a 10-minute speedboat ride across to Gili Gede, is included.
Automobiles
Check your car keys at the shore… motorised transport is kept to a minimum on Gili Gede, with two feet and two wheels the preferred forms of transport.
