When travel becomes a gesture of care.
As the year draws to a close, we’re reminded that the beauty of travel isn’t just in the places we visit but in what we give back along the way.
At SLOW Private Pool Villa & Spa, Gili Air, we’ve always believed in travel that leaves the island richer than it was found, in experiences that flow gently, regeneratively, like the tides that shape our shores.
This season, we’re inviting you to be part of something meaningful.
When you contribute to one of Gili Air’s local conservation or education projects, we’ll gift you your villa at half the rate for stays before December 20 — not as a discount, but as a thank-you for giving back to the island that gives us so much.
Because generosity deserves to be met with gratitude.

Three Projects, One Island
Our community partners — from local schools to conservation groups — are working quietly but powerfully to protect the island’s future.
1. Cooler Classrooms for Gili Air’s Children
We’re helping raise funds to insulate classrooms at SD Elementary School Gili Air, where students currently study under metal roofs that trap heat.
A small change in temperature can mean a big change in focus, comfort, and possibility.
2. Coral Planting & Reef Protection
Together with Gili Reef Guardians, we’re supporting coral restoration projects that help shield our island from erosion and breathe life back into our surrounding reefs — nurturing biodiversity and protecting the marine ecosystems that sustain us all.
3. Tree Planting & Eco-Education for Kids
With the help of Hello Echo Games, we’re introducing environmental games and island clean-up challenges across Gili Air’s five cantons.
Children will receive small budgets to keep their areas clean, and the most dedicated canton will receive an end-of-year award, turning care for nature into play.

Why This Matters
Each act, planting coral, insulating a classroom, growing a tree is a thread in a much larger weave of regeneration.
When you stay with us, your visit becomes part of that story. You’re not just a guest, you’re a contributor to an ecosystem of care, a partner in preserving this delicate island for generations to come.
Because to travel slow is to travel consciously.
To give back is to belong.
