The read
- What it feels like
- Gili Air moves slowly. No cars or motorbikes, just bicycles and horse carts on sandy paths. The snorkeling is good right off the beach. Evenings are quiet, with small restaurants lit by lanterns.
- Who is around
- Couples, solo travellers reading on the beach, and divers between courses
- On foot
- You can walk around the entire island in about 90 minutes. Sandy paths only, no paved roads.
- After dark
- A few beachfront bars play low-key music. The island is dark and quiet by 10pm. Stars are visible with almost no light pollution.
