Sunrise Resort

Sunrise Resort - A 4-star beachfront property with freeform pools, snorkeling access, and a fusion-style beach club

Sunrise Resort occupies an elevated position on Gili Air's East Beach, offering direct access to a white sand shoreline and a reef teeming with marine life just 30 meters offshore. The 15 guest rooms include signature suites with rooftop terraces, Deluxe rooms with private gardens, and interconnected options for families. The resort's Sunrise Beach Club serves fusion dishes and Indonesian specialties, with a specialty BBQ featuring fresh seafood and imported meats. Two freeform natural stone pools-including an 18-meter main pool with a waterfall feature-anchor the property, while the beachfront provides snorkeling access to turtle habitats. Located a 10-minute walk from the harbor, the resort offers airport transfers via car and speedboat for IDR 1500,000 (approx. $100).
