Weddings on the Gili Islands
Barefoot island weddings on the Gili Islands, a short hop from Bali, with car-free sands, turquoise water, and true castaway calm.
The three Gili Islands sit just off Lombok, a boat ride east of Bali, and they are the definition of castaway: no cars, no motorbikes, just white sand, turquoise water, and bicycles and horse carts. For a barefoot island wedding, few places compare.
Why marry on the Gilis
The Gilis are pure escape. Gili Trawangan has a little more life, Gili Meno is the quiet honeymoon island, and Gili Air sits in between. Turquoise shallows, sunset ceremonies, and a total absence of traffic make for an unhurried, romantic celebration. It suits couples wanting an intimate island wedding or elopement with a real sense of getting away from it all.
Venues and settings
- Beachfront ceremonies on white sand
- Small island resorts and eco-retreats
- Sunset and sandbar celebrations
- Over-water and beach-club dinners
Good to know
The Gilis are reached by fast boat from Bali, so we build in travel time and keep the celebration small and relaxed. Being car-free is the charm, but it means simpler logistics and boutique venues, so this suits couples who want intimate over grand. It pairs perfectly with a honeymoon straight after.
