Private Pools & Tranquility: Discover Rimba Villas Gili Air

Nestled on the lesser-trodden northwest corner of Gili Air, Rimba Villas offers more than just a place to stay. It is a sanctuary, thoughtfully designed to harmonize with its natural surroundings, creating an intimate experience for those who seek privacy, beauty, and peace. Whether you're looking to reconnect with loved ones, nature, or yourself, Rimba Villas is the kind of hideaway that stays with you long after your return flight touches down.

A Hidden Gem on Gili Air

While Gili Air is known for its laid-back atmosphere and beautiful beaches, Rimba Villas elevates the experience by offering boutique private villas that blend Javanese architecture with modern comforts. Located just 100 meters from one of the island's most stunning white-sand beaches, the villas provide the perfect balance of accessibility and seclusion.

What makes Rimba Villas truly unique is its commitment to integrating local craftsmanship and natural elements. The villas are constructed using local teak wood, carefully incorporating the existing trees and greenery into the design. This sustainable, nature-forward approach is not only beautiful but also helps guests feel grounded and in tune with the island's environment.

The Luxury of a Private Pool

Each of Rimba’s three villas : Surya (Sun), Kayu (Wood), and Bayu , comes with its own private pool surrounded by lush tropical gardens. Far from being an afterthought, the pools are central to the villa experience, offering a space where guests can unwind without disturbance. Morning dips in the crystal-clear water, lazy afternoons in the sun, and evening swims under the stars, your time here moves at your own rhythm.

These private pools are not just for swimming. They become extensions of the villa’s living space. Guests often start their day with a poolside breakfast, read a book with their feet in the water, or enjoy a glass of wine after a day of island exploration. The intimacy of having your own pool, free from crowds and noise, is one of Rimba Villas' most cherished features.

Designed for Tranquility

Beyond the pools, Rimba Villas is designed to be a peaceful retreat. You won’t find loud bars or busy streets here. Instead, you’ll hear the rustling of palm leaves, the occasional call of tropical birds, and the gentle sound of island life.

The layout of each villa is intentional: open-air living spaces, high-quality natural materials, and a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor areas create a calming atmosphere. Whether you’re lounging on the daybed, taking a dip in the pool, or enjoying an outdoor shower, every corner of Rimba invites relaxation.

Even the location, on the quieter side of Gili Air, was chosen with serenity in mind. While still walking distance from local cafés, restaurants, and snorkeling points, Rimba Villas remains tucked away enough to offer a true sense of escape.

A Stay Tailored to You

No two stays at Rimba Villas are the same. The experience is personalized and flexible. Want a floating breakfast in your pool? A private massage in the garden? A romantic sunset boat ride? The Rimba team is there to make it happen. The on-site team can help plan activities ranging from scuba diving and horse riding to guided trips around Lombok.

Families love the babysitting service and the big garden to gather in (especially in our three bedrooms Villa Bayu), while couples enjoy the privacy and romantic atmosphere. Solo travelers find space to reflect and recharge. Rimba Villas isn’t just a place to sleep, it’s a curated experience designed around your needs.

The Soul of the Villa: Staff & Service

A significant part of what makes Rimba Villas special is the warmth of its staff. Welcoming and attentive without being intrusive, the team genuinely cares about your comfort. Their local knowledge helps guests discover hidden gems on the island, whether it’s the best warung for local food or a quiet snorkeling spot.

Many guests leave with memories not just of the place but of the people who made them feel at home. This human connection, combined with the natural beauty of the setting, is what transforms a good holiday into a meaningful one.

Why Privacy Matters

In a world that often moves too fast, privacy has become a luxury. Rimba Villas offers that rare opportunity to disconnect from the demands of everyday life and reconnect with what matters most. Whether that’s a morning meditation by the pool, an uninterrupted conversation with a loved one, or simply sleeping in without any schedule, privacy gives space for authenticity.

Unlike larger hotels or resorts, where you’re one of many, Rimba’s three villas allow for truly personal attention and ample space to be yourself. It’s the kind of place where you can wear your pajamas all day, forget about time, and just be.

Guest Experiences

Guest reviews often mention the feeling of being at home, the beauty of the wooden interiors, and of course, the pools. One guest wrote, “We didn’t leave our villa for two days. Between the pool, the garden, and the peace, we had everything we needed.” Another said, “The design is stunning. You feel like you’re in nature, but with all the comfort of a luxury stay.”

These stories reflect what Rimba Villas is all about: moments of joy, beauty, and connection.
