Vayam Boutique Resort Gili Asahan

Loved our bungalow with its beautiful outside bathroom. We had the seafood barbecue the first night which was delicious! Staff were very friendly and efficient

We stayed at Vayam, Gili Asaham for 8 nights in mid-April 2026 in room N.1. It was our second stay on the island, and it was very pleasant and relaxed. The room was comfortable with air conditioning and a king-size bed. Everything worked properly. The à la carte breakfast was good; I especially remember the Nasi Goreng, the typical Indonesian yogurt and fruit bowls, the sourdough bread, and that delicious cappuccino every morning. We ate at their restaurant many times, and the food was consistently good. The staff is very friendly and helpful; you never get a "no" for an answer. Overall, the value for money is unbeatable. I understand that it wasn't yet peak season, and they were preparing for it by doing some repairs. I think the bungalow would be perfect after a little maintenance, such as painting and cleaning the edges of the shower glass. I also recommend coordinating with the other hotels and local residents to keep not only the beach in front but the entire island clean of trash, a problem that, although not their fault, affects the overall impression of the island guests.

We loved our stay so much that we tried to extend a week (they were full). The triangle bungalows are spacious and romantic with lots of little details. The owner designs luxury resorts and it shows. The included breakfast was amazing, smoothie bowls, fresh juices, waffles, etc. We ate dinner there almost every evening and loved every bite. The staff is so friendly and accommodating. We got to know several of them more personally and had great conversations. There is great snorkeling nearby. You can use the resorts snorkeling gear and their kayaks/sup to get to the nearby uninhabited gili. So fantastic! I almost didn't want to write this review to keep this resort a little secret, but they deserve every accolade.
