‍

Craving something different for your next Gili Island escape? Look no further than Cahaya Villas, a unique contemporary villa haven that ticks all the boxes for a luxe couples’ retreat.

Cahaya Villas has a unique design concept, that blends a number of contrasting styles. You’ll immediately sense the modern Greek island vibe on arrival with whitewashed stone exterior and outdoor spaces along with the ‘Santorini style’ private pool. Yet it also blends boho Bali style with this chic Mediterranean aesthetic in the unconventional ‘wabi-sabi’ inspired interior.

The one-bedroom villa interiors feature smooth white stone throughout with cosy spaces decorated in tasteful earth tones. Expect ethnic tropical touches alongside sleek soft furnishings. A comfy sunken sofa space looks out onto the pool deck. The main bedroom space incorporates both homely rustic and modern minimalism elements. It makes for the perfect couple’s retreat.

A large light beige coloured ensuite bathroom is spacious and stylish, made of smooth stone with a large walk-in shower, and there is ample storage space.  Each villa has full air conditioning, a flat-screen TV with streaming service capability, tea and coffee making, a hair dryer, free premium toiletries, plus a minibar. There is free, fast Wi-Fi throughout the property.

The inviting pool and deck are just steps away. This sun trap has a number of options to chill out poolside, whether soaking up the rays or seeking a shady refuge. You can leisurely swing in a hammock or sink deep into a beanbag by the water. Additionally, there is a built-in cobblestone arched alcove to take respite from the heat with a good book and a cool cocktail in hand.  

Fully enclosed with its own entrance, each villa is a private refuge with full-day security and discreet, round the clock service. It makes for the perfect couple’s retreat. It’s no surprise it is becoming a honeymooners’ haven.

The location itself also lends itself to tranquility, set some way back from the constant buzz of the main east coast beach strip. It is set in a quiet street where you’ll encounter a more authentic slice of Gili Trawangan life away from the bright lights. From here it is just a leisurely walk or quick bike ride to the laid back west coast beachfront. Cahaya Villas is indeed a unique island oasis.
