Where is Gili Gede?

Gili Gede island is located off the southern end of the west coast of Lombok. (Not to be confused with the Gili Islands off the NW coast). It is in a sheltered bay close to the coastal town of Tembowong, approx. 15NM west of the harbour town of Lembar.  It is one of several islands clustered together, very sheltered and surrounded by hills.

Cruiser highlights for Gili Gede:

Marina Del Ray at the southern end of the island, was built by Australian cruiser Raymond La Fontaine and was the first safe haven between Australia and Singapore for cruising yachts. The marina has pontoons and other services available.  However, it is no longer a Port of Entry for Indonesia.  The only Port of Entry on Lombok is Medana Bay Marina.  There are bars and restaurants on the island and some provisions. Read about the marina's history here.  Unfortunately Ray died from a medical condition in February 2024  but the marina is still operational.  Amenities include a swimming pool, WiFi, repair facilities.  There are no motorized vehicles on the island, so to move around you take the coastal path, a horse-drawn cart or a taxi boat.
