The saltwater pool at The 5 Brothers Hotel, framed by lumbung roofs and bougainvillea

Gili Trawangan · Indonesia

The 5 Brothers

Twelve rooms around a twenty-five metre saltwater pool. Teak, driftwood and stone — and the north-east beach three minutes up the lane.

The 5 Brothers Hotel

Small, quiet, and built by hand.

Five brothers built this place on a lane set back from the harbour, and it still runs the way a family house runs. Twelve rooms, one pool, and nobody hurrying you anywhere.

The teak, the driftwood headboards and the carved fish on the walls were all made on Lombok. The pool is saltwater, twenty-five metres end to end, and it is where most of the day happens. The north-east beach is three minutes up the lane, and the island has no cars at all.

The pool

Twenty-five metres of saltwater

It runs the length of the hotel, with lumbung roofs at the far end and bougainvillea the whole way down. Sun on one side through the morning, shade on the other by mid-afternoon.

Loungers, bean bags and a lot of quiet. The Pool Access rooms open straight onto the deck, so you can be in the water four steps from the bed.

  • Open from sunrise to late
  • Loungers, bean bags and shade
  • Towels in every room
  • Adults-only, so it stays calm

Mornings here

Breakfast, ordered off a menu

À la carte rather than a buffet — you order in the morning and it comes out fresh. Vegetarian, vegan, halal, gluten-free and Asian options are all on the list; tell us in advance and we will have it ready.

After that the lounge stays cool through the afternoon and the terrace fills up again around sunset. Bikes are at the front if you want to ride the island loop.

Where we are

On the quiet side of Gili Trawangan

Jl. Anemon sits back from the harbour strip, far enough that the music doesn't reach you, close enough to walk everywhere. There are no cars on the island — you arrive by boat and get around on foot, by bike or by cidomo.
