Only the wind and the sea and a little fisherman's boat now and then. We wanted to start our Bali holiday on one of the islands east of Bali, but all off them seamed us to be too much a tourist industry, till we found Gili Gede with Via Vacare. The best choice we could have made: a marvellous place... More

The south western Gili's are not like the North Western Gili's in terms of development & popularity. They also give the north a run for its money in terms of isolation & beauty. We had the luxury of staying at Via Vacare on Gili Gede. The owner can arrange pikup & dropoff transport for you although we drove. Whilst our... More

Last January I spent 7 lovely days at Via Vacare, the best accommodation on the beautiful island of Gili Gede. I felt very welcome and immediately at home by the serene atmosphere, the very friendly and helpful staff and the awesome environment. A perfect place to recover, to find yourself and to lay-back. 'Doing nothing' was quite a challenge in... More

So my husband and I, due to my husband becoming very ill, never stayed at Via Vacare. However, I learned just before we left for S.E. Asia that I am most likely very allergic to shellfish. I have had 3 very violent reactions from eating shellfish. So I was very limited in what I could eat while we traveled around... More

We have just had an excellent stay at Via Vacare on the nice Gili Gede. We were 2 adults with 3 children (9,16 and 18). The atmosphere is very friendly and just like being part of a family. Jet Kellner - the owner of the place was among others taking us for a walking tour to the nearby villages and... More

What a wonderful experience! The staff were delightful and Jet was the perfect hostess, the food was delicious and nothing was too much trouble. Jet helped with all our travel both to and from Via Vacare ensuring that my haggling skills (what haggling skills?) were not further tested. The accommodation was beautiful and the view of the sea and other... More

Via Vacare delivers a stunning location, fantastic food, wonderful hospitality and a profound sense of peace - I give it five stars for all the important things! I endorse the comments in the other 5 star reviews. Jet has created a wonderful place and an atmosphere of hospitality which, for some, may seem a little rustic if they are looking... More
