MALIAS CHILD COTTAGES

GILI MENO ISLAND

The Gili Islands are three small Islands just of the northwestern coast of mainland Lombok. Gili Meno is the middle island and by far the most quiet - with fewer hotels. As such, it is the ideal place to visit when wishing to get away from the crowd.

Mallias Child Bungalows is situated on the South East Corner of the small island of Gili Meno. The picturesque white sand beach in front of Mallias is very popular with sun worshippers, swimmers, and children. Great Diving and Snorkeling! A perfect escape for honeymooners or someone who wants to get away from it all.

Beach Front Bungalows:
Accommodation is literally right on the beach. This is a luxury that can not usually be experienced in a tourist area. Fresh water showers (cold) are in every Bungalow.

To allow this unique experience the bungalows, by definition, must be "transportable" or "temporary." The traditional on-stilts, thatched-roof (alang alang) bungalows offer convection current natural air circulation which takes full advantage of the soothing sea breeze.
