Official Description (provided by the hotel):: Pondok Santi Estate is an 8-hectare property, making it one of the largest and most manicured pieces of land on the island and only a 5-minute walk to the main restaurants, cafes and bars. Large open grass areas, day beds, Palm and Frangipani Trees are scattered throughout the property allowing you to find your own piece of paradise. The beauty of Pondok Santi is the share size of the grounds and small number of bungalows available. This is by far the most unique and natural eco friendly property on the island. The Estate houses 6 quaint one-bedroom one-bathroom Balinese bungalows positioned within 20m of the beach. Each Bungalow has an outdoor covered front deck, day bed overlooking the gardens, queen size bed, air conditioned, complete with a beautiful traditional outdoor bathroom. Princess Margaux was designed and hand built in neighboring Lombok Island. The traditional outrigger boat can comfortably accommodate 20 people, has a downstairs and upstairs level, built in ice boxes, an MP3 music system, toilet and an oversize day bed for those romantic or sunset cruises. The boat is very special and is the perfect boat for cruising around Gili Trawangan or Island hoping. The boat is exclusive to Pondok Santi and can be rented anytime demand permitting. Due to the small number of rooms available, bookings in advance are highly recommended. We look forward to making your holiday to Gili Trawangan the most amazing island experience you have ever had.

“How Pondok saved our vacation”

Reviewed 31 May 2013

This review is overdue by a year and we have meant to write this for some time. We have also meant to revisit for some time now, and unfortunately the review comes before the repeat visit. Pondok Santi deserves all the adjectives and superlatives you can possibly think of. Pondok has also been unofficially crowned as what Saved Our Vacation,... More

Hi Trude and Stener. Thank you for you review and kind comments. I am glad you still hold such fond memories of Pondok Santi and even more happy to hear you would like to return one day. We will look forward to your company and more fun times together on Princess Margaux! We have made many improvements to Pondok Santi... More

“Missing Pondok Santi”

Reviewed 13 May 2013

Pondok Santi is situated in what I believe is the best part of Gili Trawangan. A super short bike ride north is a great spot for snorkeling, SUP hire, surfing, then you reach some great restaurants just a little further north. A short bike ride south is the best location to watch the sunset over Mount Agung (Bali). Gili Trawangan... More

The highlight of our honeymoon was our 3 nights at Pondok Santi.

“Would recommend to anyone.”

Reviewed 25 April 2013 via mobile

We stayed here for 4 nights in April and had a marvellous time. Santi is about 50 metres down the road from the closest resorts or restaurants and several hundred metres from the beginning of 'the strip' - not too far to be isolating, but enough to escape the chaos and notice down the road. The hectares of trees and... More
