If you’re seeking a polished resort or five-star luxury, this may not be the place for you. But if you’re after an authentic tropical island experience – where you can slow down, reconnect with nature, and stay in a handcrafted bamboo villa built by local craftsmen – Villa Burung may be just what you’re looking for.

Tucked away in a quiet part of Gili Air, just 600m from the island’s hub and a short walk to the beach, Villa Burung offers a unique blend of local character, simplicity, and barefoot island living. Built using traditional techniques and natural materials, this original bamboo villa invites you to unwind in a space that honours the craft and culture of the island.

The villa features three comfortable bedrooms, each with air-conditioning, ceiling fans, mosquito nets, and private ensuites with hot water. Simple comforts meet island charm, with a focus on natural flow, light, and breeze.

Shaped in a traditional L-style, the open layout wraps around a private swimming pool, surrounded by lush tropical gardens, coconut trees, sun loungers, and a shaded hammock cabana. It’s a laid-back space to relax, nap, read, or simply watch the world go by.

The open-air kitchen is well-equipped for simple cooking, and the relaxed dining and lounge areas offer space to gather and unwind. We’ve included modern essentials like Wi-Fi, a yoga mat and blocks, a high chair and baby cot, and even a work desk in the air-conditioned master bedroom for those combining remote work with a tropical stay.

You’ll also have access to two bicycles for exploring the island at your own pace, and our local team is on hand to help you organise snorkelling trips, horse rides on the beach, or island transfers if needed.

Villa Burung is proudly a local-style, eco-conscious bamboo villa—not slick, not new, but full of charm. It’s perfect for those who value simplicity, cultural immersion, and being surrounded by nature. Daily servicing and 24/7 on-call support from the team at Palm View Properties ensures you’re well looked after, while giving you space to enjoy island life on your own terms.

If that sounds like your kind of adventure – we’d love to welcome you.

Experience the Real Gili Air — Bamboo Living at Its Best

Experience the real Gili Air at Villa Burung

Tucked away in the peaceful northern part of Gili Air, just a 600m cycle from the island’s central hub and a short stroll to the beach, Villa Burung offers a relaxed and authentic place to call home while you explore the island. This is not a polished resort—it’s a handcrafted bamboo villa built by local tukang using traditional methods and materials, designed to blend into its lush, tropical surroundings.

Villa Burung features three comfortable, breezy bedrooms, each with its own ensuite, mosquito nets, block-out curtains, ceiling fans and air-conditioning for when the days get warm. The bathrooms offer both indoor and outdoor showers with hot water, simple toiletries, and the charm of open-air island living.

At the heart of the L-shaped villa is a private swimming pool, surrounded by gardens of frangipani, palms, and swaying coconut trees. You’ll find sun loungers, an outdoor hammock cabana, and shady spots to relax and recharge.

The open-plan kitchen is basic but well-equipped with a fridge, gas stove, and oven for casual cooking. There’s an outdoor dining table for shared meals, multiple places to lounge, and even a yoga mat and blocks for your morning flow.

While Villa Burung is an authentic island-style retreat, it still has creature comforts like reliable Wi-Fi, a workspace in the master bedroom, a highchair and baby cot for families, and secure access with a lockable gate and essentials like a safe, fire extinguisher, and first aid kit.

Two bikes are provided to help you explore the island at your own pace, and our friendly local team is just a phone call away – happy to help with anything from snorkelling trips to transport or island tips.

This is simple island living – barefoot, peaceful, and connected to nature. Villa Burung is ideal for travellers looking to step away from the fast pace of modern life and experience something more grounded, honest, and real.
