Own a Coastal Institution in a Booming Market

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a legendary, high-performing hospitality business on Gili Air. Established in 1992 and extensively rebuilt in 2017, this resort isn’t just a hotel—it’s a cornerstone of the island’s tourism infrastructure. Situated on nearly 1 hectare of prime beachfront, the business captures the most lucrative segments of the Gili market: Professional Diving, Family Travel, and Sunrise Wellness.

The “Unfair Advantages” of the Business:

In a competitive island market, this resort holds three unique assets that no other property on Gili Air can claim:

1. The Island’s Only Dive Training Pool: A 3-meter deep professional facility that makes this the “de facto” headquarters for PADI/SSI certifications on Gili Air.
2. The Only Dedicated Children’s Pool: This single feature makes the resort the #1 choice for the high-spending “Beachside Family” demographic.
3. 75m of “Gold Zone” Beachfront: Located directly in front of the island’s most famous snorkeling reef with 24-hour deep-water boat access, ensuring a constant flow of walk-in F&B and excursion revenue.

Operational Infrastructure & Assets:

The business is sold as a “plug-and-play” operation with a robust back-of-house setup designed for high-margin efficiency:

• The Culinary Hub: A 14m x 14m antique Joglo restaurant pavilion and an 8m x 6m Limasan, providing an iconic beachfront dining experience.
• Professional BOH: Large industrial kitchen, dedicated laundry facilities, multiple management offices, and extensive staff housing for a full onsite team.
• Energy Independence: Equipped with a private 80kW PLN transformer and a 110KW Caterpillar generator (serviced by Trakindo), ensuring 100% uptime—a critical luxury on the islands.
• Water Security: Dual PDAM fresh water connections plus backup groundwater wells.

Business Specifications:

• Land Area: 9,627 sqm (Freehold)
• Current Inventory: 15 high-spec rooms (Expansion license for 56 total)
• Specialized Facilities: Professional Dive Pool, Kids Pool, Adult Pool, Beachfront Restaurant
• Compliance: Full Tourism Zoning (Pink Zone) and established PMA structure for foreign ownership
• Staffing: Fully trained team and established SOPs in place

Strategic Growth Potential (The “Upside”):

While the business currently generates strong returns from its 15 units, it is only utilizing 60% of its land footprint.

• The Expansion Play: The sale includes a license to expand the inventory up to 56 rooms.
• The Medical/Wellness Pivot: With 2026 trends shifting toward “Slow Travel” and wellness, the undeveloped 40% of the land is perfectly suited for a world-class spa, yoga shala, or luxury wellness retreat to complement the existing dive operations.

Investment Perspective

Gili Air is seeing a 14% year-over-year revenue growth in 2026, driven by a new wave of “quality-over-quantity” travelers. This resort offers the safety of an established brand with the explosive growth potential of a development site. With its unique pools and premier beach frontage, it remains the most resilient hospitality asset on the island.
