We stayed at BASK with three other couples for seven nights and had a truly magical experience from start to finish. It’s a bit of a journey from Denpasar Airport if you fly to Lombok first (consider direct speed boat) but absolutely worth it once you arrive. The rooms are modern, beautifully designed and have everything you need, but the real highlight is the hospitality. Nothing is ever too hard, and every member of the team was genuinely warm, attentive and lovely. The food is exceptional. Both the main restaurant and the South American-inspired Pomona are absolutely top shelf. The South Australian-sourced dry-aged steaks were a genuine highlight, but honestly, they didn’t miss once—every meal, from breakfast onwards, was incredible. Gili Meno itself is incredibly special. With no motorised vehicles, the island has a peacefulness you rarely find. Grab one of the bikes and explore—you feel like you’re discovering the island for the first time, with beautiful, quiet beaches everywhere you turn. The snorkelling is exceptional, and the sunsets are insane. The owners even opened the underwater bar for us so we could watch a football match, which perfectly sums up the level of hospitality. An amazing experience from beginning to end. None of us wanted to leave, and we’ll absolutely be back. Five stars without hesitation.
