A small bungalow escape,
on an island that still feels small.
Gili Air is the middle island; smaller than Trawangan, livelier than Meno,
and easily the best of the three if you want real quiet without being stranded.
Mowies has sat right on its west beach since 2014: a handful of beachfront
bungalows, an open-air kitchen, and a saltwater lagoon where the afternoon
just dissolves.
Ten steps from your porch to the sand. Sleep with the windows open; it's only the waves.
Kitchen Open All Day
Fresh fish, wood-fired pizza, sambal made by hand. Breakfast is on us when you book direct.
Work Here, If You Must
Starlink Wi-Fi strong enough for video calls. Or put your laptop away; we won't judge.
Family-Run, Warmly
No front-desk scripts. We know the guides, the dive shops, the secret spots; just ask.
Step onto the estate
Beachfront,
barefoot,
all of it.
A small estate tucked into Gili Air's west beach; coconut palms,
open-sided pavilions, and sand that runs straight to the reef.
Nothing towering, nothing loud. A proper beachfront property
where the garden, the kitchen, and the sea all touch each other.
Six distinct bungalow styles across eleven private rooms. Snug
garden retreats for a budget stay, a deluxe studio for honeymoons,
a family room that sleeps four, all a few steps from the water and
all with the same soft bedding and open windows.
One of the best restaurants
on Gili Air, and it's ours.
Breakfast runs all morning. Wood-fired pizzas come out of the oven
blistered and fast. The fish on the grill was on a boat an hour ago.
And when the sky turns peach, the cocktails come out and the acoustic
set starts. Locals and guests, long tables, no rush; the good kind
of dinner.

The location on the island is perfect for sunset and located close to lots of great dinner and drink spots. The rooms were clean, secluded, and just a few steps from the beach. The water is crystal clear blue. The service was impeccable as well. If you are looking for a place to stay on Gili Air that is private, relaxing, has excellent sunsets, and amazing food, this is your place!
Well we’re staying for five weeks so that’s says it all. Brilliant location Unbelievable restaurant. Some of the very best food on the island and the staff are brilliant. Highly recommend
Mowies on Gili Air is a famous sunset restaurant which also have really nice accommodation. We have been at mowies fot 3 night and really enjoyed our stay. They made it comfortable especially at the restaurant part of this place.

The entire staff was excellent, everything was beautiful, and the service was outstanding. The beach is stunning, the sunsets are absolutely breathtaking, and the food is incredibly delicious. What we will remember most are the many lovely conversations with the staff and the incredibly warm atmosphere. We honestly wish we could have stayed longer and we will definitely come back.
We already miss every single person there — the kindness, the helpfulness, and every daily “good morning” with a genuine smile on their faces. It makes us sad to leave such wonderful people behind.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for everything. 💛

The location is absolutely perfect: beautiful beach beds right by the ocean, so you can literally wake up and jump straight into the sea in the morning.
The bungalows are stunning, stylish, and super comfortable, the food was absolutely delicious, and the atmosphere everywhere was just amazing. But what makes this place even more special is the staff. Everyone is so friendly, kind, and helpful — you can really tell they do everything they can to make your stay perfect.
If you’re going to Gili Air: stay here. We honestly wouldn’t recommend anywhere else 💛

The food is excellent, I recommend the tuna steak which I became addicted to and ate almost every day. The staff is amazing and super attentive. Not only was the vibe social and uber friendly, they also have blazing fast Starlink, which, on a tropical island, makes working remotely incredibly easy. All I can say is thank you, I’m a regular here and absolutely love the place.
Absolutely incredible — this is a very special place. The staff couldn’t be more kind, the view is one of the most beautiful and iconic clear water beaches I’ve ever seen. White sand, excellent food, Mowie’s for the win!

I have stayed on Gili air since 2023, and am a long time traveler, and the rooms on Mowie’s are the best on the island. Well designed, clean, chic, if the rooms are available, grab it!!

Loved this place and our time on Gili Air. Lovely people and a chill atmosphere at Mowies resulted in a fabulous holiday for my husband and myself. We look forward to returning one day soon hopefully!
Très bon restau, des plats vraiment réfléchis, le prix est assez élevé en conséquence, c’était délicieux ! Nous avons eux une grosse averse, le personnel c’est arrangé pour que tout le monde soit à l’abri !

The wine happy hour special brought us in, and we stayed for dinner. We ordered the babaganoush appetizer and it doesnt come with pita, so had to order the foccacia bread as well. They should add pita and charge a little more. Both were very tasty. Great sunset spot as well. Recommended for drinks and dinner. Returned another evening, as food was so good. Just as good 2nd time, and friendly service
Don’t know how the hotel is, and regarding all the comments it is probably better to check before booking a room.

We only ate at the restaurant, and the food was absolutely DELICIOUS. Everything was really tasty, perfectly cooked, well served in large sizes.
I really recommand this place to have a good lunch next to the beautiful beach.

Pero lo mejor es el sitio… el ambiente es mágico, cenar prácticamente en la playa, con luces, naturaleza y un entorno precioso.
Sin duda, la mejor cena de nuestra estancia en las Islas Gili. Un sitio para disfrutar y repetir.

Im ganzen Trubel, der sich inzwischen auf Gili Air ausgebreitet hat, ist und bleibt Mowies unsere kleine Glücksoase. Das unfassbar nette und aufmerksame Team setzt dem Ganzen noch die Krone auf.

De zonsondergang is iedere avond te zien vanaf Mowies! Het personeel is ontzettend aardig en behulpzaam. We voelden ons erg welkom en men was altijd in voor een praatje. Via Mowies hebben we een snorkeltour gedaan waarbij we schildpadden, koraal en veel vissen hebben gezien. Goed geregeld! En over all een hele goede prijs!
Super comfortabel en tropisch, gezellig verblijf bij Mowies!

De airco deed het de eerste nacht niet in onze kamer, we kregen een ander verblijf en de volgende dag is een nieuwe airco geïnstalleerd. Super!
Daarnaast houden ze strandbedjes vrij voor gasten en was niets teveel.

The location is perfect – right on the beach and super peaceful, ideal if you want to relax and enjoy island life.
The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well maintained, and everything felt very well taken care of. The staff were genuinely kind and always helpful, which made the whole experience even better.
The food and drinks were excellent, and I also really appreciated the breakfast option for hotel guests – only 50,000 IDR, great value and a perfect way to start the day.
Such a special place – I would definitely come back and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Gili Air!

Before you pack
The things everyone wants to know.
Fly into Bali (DPS) or Lombok (LOP), then take a fast boat to Gili Air harbour. From Bali it's the fast boat from Padangbai, Serangan or Amed; about 2 to 2.5 hours. From Lombok it's a quick transfer from Bangsal harbour; 10 to 15 minutes on the water. From the harbour, we're a short walk or cidomo (horse-cart) ride away, and we can arrange pickup when you book.
Depends on what you're after. Trawangan is the lively one; bars, crowds, party energy. Meno is the tiny quiet one; beautiful but very little food or nightlife. Gili Air is the middle: quiet when you want it, a handful of good restaurants when you don't, and by far the best snorkelling and diving base of the three. Most people who've tried all three come back to Gili Air.
May to October is the dry season; bluer skies, calmer water, easier boat rides. June and September are the sweet spot: warm, dry, fewer crowds. November to March is still beautiful but brings afternoon rain and a little chop on the boats. Mowies is open year-round and the reef is fantastic any month.
Free daily breakfast, a welcome mocktail on arrival, VIP priority check-in, and your best rate; we match any OTA price. Plus a real human at the end of a WhatsApp message who knows the island, the boats, and the best dive guides by name.
Six bungalow types and eleven rooms in total, from 20 to 40 sqm. Cosy garden bungalows for budget stays, deluxe studios for honeymoons, a family room that sleeps four. All beachfront, all with air-con, Starlink Wi-Fi, daily housekeeping, and a private porch with something worth sitting on.
Snorkel the turtle reef off our beach, dive the Halik and Shark Point walls, island-hop to Meno and Trawangan, cycle the whole island in 90 minutes, yoga at sunrise, cocktails at sunset. We book everything at reception; no running around, no booking fees.

Leave planning the next trip back.”
