About Gili Kedis
Gili Kedis is the smallest island in the Sekotong archipelago, offering an intimate and peaceful beach experience. Its name translates to "Small Island" in the local Sasak language, perfectly describing its charming, compact size. Despite being small, Gili Kedis boasts stunning white sand beaches surrounded by crystal-clear turquoise waters.
The island's shallow waters and vibrant coral reefs make it an excellent spot for snorkeling. Visitors can easily swim from the beach to explore the underwater world teeming with colorful fish and marine life. The calm waters are particularly suitable for families and beginner snorkelers.
With no permanent structures or commercial developments, Gili Kedis offers a truly unspoiled tropical island experience. Visitors can relax on the pristine beaches, enjoy a picnic under the shade of coconut palms, and soak in the breathtaking views of the surrounding Sekotong islands.
