10 Years of Slow

A JOURNEY WITH YOU

From Gili to the world, from our hearts to yours — thank you for a decade of trust, transformation, and travel. Help us create a digital memory wall with your favorite moments.

“When we started Slow, we had one dream — to create a space for deep rest, honest connection, and conscious travel.

Ten years later, that dream has become a movement, and you’ve been part of it.

Now, we’d love to celebrate by remembering together.”

Dominique and Julie, co-founders of Slow Villas & Spa, a sanctuary for slow living on Gili Air, where luxury, nature, and wellness flow as one.

Where time slows and senses awaken. Private pool villas nestled in coconut groves. Slow is not a place—it’s a way of being.

Healing hands, island scents, and deep exhale. A sanctuary of stillness beneath swaying palms. At Slow Spa, wellness unfolds… gently.

📕 PEOPLE OF GILI

People of Gili is an ode to the island of Gili Air — a place that has given us so much magic, especially through its people. As tourism continues to grow, parts of the island’s soul risk being lost. Through this project, we hope to keep its origin alive — a heritage of true art, spirit, and resilience — captured in portraits, videos, interviews, and personal stories.

This is a love letter to Gili and its most authentic personalities.

The book will be printed and sold for charity. All proceeds will go directly to supporting the island and its people, in partnership with the Soraya Foundation, helping to preserve the culture, environment, and community we hold so dear.

Thank you for walking with us. For trusting us.
For believing in a different rhythm of life.
Here’s to 10 more years of barefoot beauty, bold hearts, and slow magic.

With love,
Julie & Team

Ready when you are 💛
