Villa Selalu

Thank you to all the team at Villa Selalu for making our stay so very special. We can’t sing their praises enough. Our stay at this amazing villa was perfect in every way. The location and the views are breathtaking; the villa is 6 star - beautifully furnished and very comfortable; the pool and gardens are excellently maintained; the cocktails and meals were delicious, served in different locations around the villa. The village is in easy walking distance, and the private beach is wonderful - white sands, clear seas and best of all, no people ! Plenty of activities on offer - never a dull moment. We could have stayed for weeks. We’ll definitely be back !

Our entire party was extremely impressed with every facet of our stay at Villa Selalu. The villa itself is straight out of Architectural Digest in that it features clean contemporary lines, beautifully & warmly furnished with every creature comfort imaginable. The beds are 100% perfect, bathrooms large & stunning, the grounds are like a park, the pool & cabana divine & views of the ocean to die for. The food is simply sublime. There is a nearby (part of Selalu) cafe close to the beach which does fabulous pizzas on site. The staff are friendly & incredibly helpful. A couple of hundred metres away is Kokomo Resort which features a fantastic restaurant. Loads of activities — bike riding, SUP boarding, snorkeling, in-house massage, picnics to nearby islands the list goes on. I will most definitely return, it is that perfect mix of location & set up which caters to a destination celebration OR simply a relaxing holiday to get away from it all. Amazing.

I was so excited to return to Villa Selalu as I had loved my last trip there four years ago with my then significant other! This time I got to share such a treat with my girlfriends and this experience even was better. We enjoyed a delicious breakfast ready for us in a different location each day, snorkelled the colourful reef, explored the island on bikes, played ping pong, showered under stars, laughed over cocktails and ate top rate fresh meals daily! I cannot wait to return!!

My husband and I went with our teenage daughter and her friend and we all had a lovely time. The villa is beautiful, very relaxing atmosphere with a nice big pool. We had blue skies all week but always with a cool breeze throughout the day. The staff are amazing, nothing was too much and they were genuinely happy to make our stay as nice as possible. Herman in particular went above and beyond, as did the very talented villa chef Putu. Everything he made us was so delicious that we ended up eating in almost every day. The one day we ventured out to Nautilus for lunch, we were deeply disappointed with the food and cleanliness of the restaurant. Our advise, eat in. There are also activities like snorkelling, paddle boarding, canoeing, bicycles etc. Ahmad gives a good massage, which we had every other day. Bliss!

We stayed at Villa Selalu as a family group of 9. The Villa location is nothing short of spectacular. Set high on a hill with 360° views over the village, sea, surrounding gilis and mainland Lombok. The Villa is expansive with modern luxurious furnishings, fittings and choice of quality linens. The bedrooms are enormous as are the stunning adjoining bathrooms. Amazing infinity pool area and various relaxation areas dotted around the property to take in the different aspects of the island. At times the views include Mt Agung in Bali and Mt Rinjani on Lombok. Villa Selalu is situated a short 5 minute walk, cycle or boat ride to the closest village. The village is now easily accessed on foot via the newly constructed concrete bridge which was completed the day we arrived. The Island was quiet at the time of our stay, still recovering with few visitors. Local villagers seemed genuinely happy to be welcoming guests back, helpfully enquiring if we needed any assistance or local knowledge during our stay. The village children were gorgeous providing us with a “Rock Star” welcome, much excitement and displays of impressive bike skills whenever we ventured into the village. We chose to dine between Villa Selalu and Kokomo resort whilst on Gili Gede. Chef Putu and the team prepared delicious and plentiful set menus on-site including a surprise birthday celebration dinner for 4 of our family members and a sumptuous seafood bbq menu. Staff went to much effort to beautifully set up and decorate a different dining location around the Villa each evening complete with fairy lights and floral arrangements. You could easily choose to remain at the Villa for the entirety of your stay as it provides everything you could ever want or need or get out and explore the offerings close by. We were treated to edible garden tours on-site and at Kokomo resort with Chef Putu, The best and most unique Gili Gede massages on-site by a Village massage therapist, Several snorkelling trips on the Kokomo boat to neighbouring Gilis - Layar, Rengit & Asahan, Lunches at Nautilus restaurant on Gili Asahan and Kokomo resort in the local village, Sailing on a traditional fishing boat (Yes we were brave!) and a guided bicycle tour of Gili Gede visiting all 5 villages across the island and a stop in at Marina Del Ray for some much needed refreshments. We cannot speak highly enough of all of the staff at Villa Selalu who were so friendly, helpful and accommodating during our stay. We were pleased to learn that all the staff are employed from the local village to train in hospitality/tourism…And they are exceptional at it! We loved every second of our Villa Selalu stay, highly recommend and cannot wait to be back soon. At the risk of rambling we would like to extend our deepest appreciation to Belinda, Neni, Putu, Herman, Aziz (kitchen) Joe, Aziz (pool), Marisah, Jaya, Izam, Nursan, Gunawan, Moldy, Salam, Murina, Saenah, Khadizah and Ramadan for helping to create a very memorable family
