Pondok Santi Estate
A tropical retreat with surf
This secluded beachfront escape promises refined relaxation on Gili Trawangan’s southern tip.
Pondok Santi feels like a scene plucked straight from a magazine. It’s a stylish escape of coconut palms, private white sands and a slick ocean-view beach club. Set in a lush green 19-acre estate, you’ll find 18 luxury alang-alang-roofed bungalows alongside plenty of surfboards and snorkelling gear.
Why we love Pondok Santi Estate
-
Upgrade to a Deluxe Private Pool Villa for luxury touches and tropical seclusion.
-
Island-hopping trips and private cruises aboard the hotel’s hand-built outrigger.
-
Pondok’s gardeners are always ready to handpick you a coconut.
-
Travelling by horse-drawn ‘cimodo’ cart feels thoroughly nostalgic on this car-free island.
Holidays with a little extra 'wow'
Rooms
There are just 18 villas within the estate. Exceptionally spacious and incredibly secluded, each one is a private Indonesian sanctuary complete with alang-alang thatched roofs and traditional rich wood décor. Within the plantation's grounds, the restored Palm View Bungalows exude tropical luxury living, thanks to their private gardens and generous front terrace. Further up the estate, the Private Pool Villas look out to perfect ocean views with a sunset-viewing veranda and private plunge pool. Opt for a touch more indulgence with a Deluxe Private Pool Villa – tucked away behind antique Balinese doors, these are retreats of utter elegance thanks to the oversized day bed, exclusive poolside dining area and the large 12-metre private pool.
With views of Gili Trawangan Hill and located between the forest and gardens. These rooms can accommodate a maximum of two adults and one child.
