Snorkel the turtle beach at dawn. Dive the best sites in the Gili Islands before lunch. Cycle the whole island before your second coffee. Every Gili Air experience can be lined up on request; just send us a message and we'll handle the gear, the guides, and the timing.
Featured experiences
Sunset on the west beach
Leisure
A five-minute walk from the villa puts you on the west-facing stretch of sand, where the sky turns peach and gold over the strait to Lombok. Borrow a bike, take a cold Bintang from the fridge, and pick your spot on the sand.
Snorkel Turtle Beach
Nature & Wildlife
One of the top Gili Air snorkeling spots, a short bike ride from Santika Villas. Sea turtles, parrotfish, and coral gardens, all within a few fin-kicks of the sand. Masks and fins on the house.
Bike the Whole Island
Active
Circle the whole of Gili Air in about 90 minutes on flat sandy paths. No cars, no motorbikes; just you, the sea on one side, and a coconut stand every five minutes. Bikes are free for Santika guests.
Dive the Gili Islands
Adventure
Some of the best diving in the Gili Islands starts ten minutes off the coast; Shark Point, Halik Reef, and the statue garden. We work with the local dive centres, from intro dives to advanced certs.

You pick the dream. We do the rest.

[03]
Show up ready
Wander down to the pier, and your guide will be waiting. That's the whole thing.
And a few more
If it happens on the island, we can probably book it.
Gili Meno & Trawangan
Quick island hops to the quieter Meno or the livelier Trawangan. Private or shared boats, half-day or full.
Yoga & wellness
Sunrise and sunset classes at the island's best shalas, plus in-villa massages on the day you ask.
Cooking classes
Sambal matah, nasi goreng, rendang; learn three classics with local chefs. Market visit and a long lunch included.
Fishing trips
Morning boat charters for local fish. Bring it back and cook it in the villa kitchen, or we'll point you at the best warung to grill it.
Before you ask
How booking activities works.
Only in peak season (July to August, December to January). Most of the year, just message us the day before (or the morning of), and we'll set it up.
No. We charge exactly what the operator charges; no markups, no service fees. Keeping our guests happy is the whole point.
We (and the operators) will reschedule you for another day in your stay, or refund you in full if we can't fit it in. Nobody gets forced onto a boat in a storm.
Yes; masks, fins, and bikes are free for our guests. For dive gear and wetsuits you rent from the dive centre, which we book directly for you.
Yes, we still book them for walk-ins when there's availability. Send us a message a day ahead and we'll see what we can line up.
