Omala Village & Bungalows — Hotel in Gili Air

The Omala Village is a new development, only opening 6 months ago. It is family run and currently has around 5 rooms (There are plans to expand with the possibility of a pool). ||||The location is a 5 minute walk from the pier, and is surrounded by places to eat and drink. It is set back away from the main road so is very quiet at night. ||||The owners were fantastic, gave us tips on the island, hired us bikes and generally made our stay a pleasant one. The rooms were lovely, wooden hut type design with an outdoor (but private) bathroom which was a really nice touch. Each room had a big balcony area with sofas too which are really nice to chill on. ||||Breakfast was basic, but it was freshly made (pancakes, omelette, tea / coffee etc).||||Only downside is it is very close to the local Mosque which can be quite loud a few times a day. But this is the religion of the island so it's hard to avoid on what is a very small island||||All in all, for the price of the hotel it represents excellent value for money. Would...

And the room is super clean too!||Omala is located in the center but in a quiet area, only 3 minutes walk from the port, very close to everything.||Overall I would highly recommended staying at Omala if you’re in Gili Air, the...

We stayed 2 nights at Omala Village. Lovely bungalows with all you'll need and a semi-outside bathroom which is really cool. We received a fresh welcoming juice upon arrival.||We had 3 options for breakfast and it was served on our terrace in front of our room. Really awesome start to a day. (They live on the yard - just go up to them and say you're ready for breakfast.)||We could rent bikes for much cheaper than elsewhere too and I would encourage everyone to go and explore on a bike.||Water was salty, but we were warned that it happens depending on weather conditions. Not sure if this is applicable to the whole island. Water wasn't warm throughout showering - think you have to be the first shower of the day to get that. But it didn't bother us - island living is hot anyway.||All and all - highly recommended and excellent...
