OVERVIEW

The smallest of the Secret Gilis

Gili Kedis is genuinely tiny, a scattering of trees and a swing on a bright white sandbar you can circle on foot in about five minutes, sometimes compared to the Maldives for how vivid the sand and water look against each other. Locals call it "honeymoon island," partly in jest, a nod to how quiet and undeveloped it stays compared to its neighbors.

It's usually the last or first stop on a tour combining it with Gili Nanggu and Gili Sudak nearby, all three close enough together that boats hop between them in minutes rather than requiring separate trips.
