Utara Villas Reviews

Utara villas is an excellent accommodation choice on Gili T. From the replies to messages about getting to the villas (on horse cart) and hiring bikes (arranged and delivered to villas within 10 minutes), to on-site restaurant (good food and price), bar with happy hour and any sport on TV, friendly staff, villa as seen in photos……it really is a relaxing place. Google maps help you navigate around the island. Nothing is far away. 😎

All great! Especially about personal! Good restaurant for dinner and good breakfast! Thank you so much!

Wish we could stay more than one night. Great experience. Friendly staff.

Great villa for a romantic getaway. The villa is beautiful, great private pool, well equipped kitchen to cook as well, bathroom was spacious but hope they can change the hairdryer because its too slow, friendly and helpful staff. All in all a super great stay! The cons would be the location of the villa its a bit in the inland of the island about 5-7mins bike ride from the jetty / town centre, walking can take upwards to 15mins so do rent a bike right away when you arrive at the jetty or you could ride the horse carriage if you’re not bothered by the white people none sense. When at night the roads can be dark so make sure to bring flashlights and when it’s raining the roads can be a bit muddy.

Utara Villas was our best stay in Bali. We took one of the two room villas with private swimming pool and the staff made it such a comfortable and pleasant experience for us. You can rent bikes, book private or group boat tours, join workshops, etc. They have a lot of offerings. If we ever go back to Gili islands, we will definitely stay at Utara Villas again.

Peaceful and beautiful.. Loved it.. Private pool and room was great!

Excellent environment, rich breakfast. Central location, you need a horse carriage to get to the pier. It is a little far from the east and west, and it takes more than ten minutes to walk. However, there is a small road that takes 5 minutes to the northern beach.

The swimming pool is a bit small. The location is not good as it is in the middle of an alley. The rooms are spacious and large, the breakfast is decent and the staff are friendly. It's hard to come out when it rains because of the puddles in the alleys. No intention to revisit

As expected, the location is very disappointing. To have dinner around the villa or to go to the mart, you have to ride a bicycle for at least 10 minutes and all the beaches are far. The staff are so friendly and delivery is available from Jali to WhatsApp.

My expectations were high but I was a bit unsure heading over to Utara. Most of the roads nearby are dirt and the area is just starting to develop more. Once we arrived, Utara met and exceeded all my expectations. The rooms/villas were modern and beautiful. The area is very private and the pools are nice. The food options are great and the staff is really kind and thoughtful. Jack, who primarily works next door at O'Neill's Bar (same owner) is a great guy. We spoke to him briefly at the bar and he volunteered to serve us a private dinner. Depending on what your objectives are, the location is OK. The beach on the north side is about .4-.5 miles away. The main port/downtown is 1-1.5 miles east. The beach on the west is maybe .7 miles away. Nothing is too far but the area's a bit underdeveloped. Though, I imagine this will change quickly. Overall, we loved our experience at Utara and on Gili T. Many of the nearby accommodations paled in comparison. As long as you don't mind walking or biking for a few minutes, it's an amazing place to stay.

Stayed for 5 nights. Absolutely excellent. Staff so friendly. Villa was immaculate. Spotlessly clean & huge, private pool was tremendous. Location is good, bike hire possible from the hotel. Great breakfast choice and Wi-Fi is very good too.

I am a very picky traveller looking for white gloves experiences... Don't look any further if you wish to visit fantastic Gili Trawangan... This place is magic, and the entire staff is awesome... Gili islands are like Thailand 20 years ago, and the local population is so welcoming. Avoid the crowds of cheap tourists, this is your place

The villa is beautiful and Huge, the private pool is amazing, very comfy bed and excellent facilities. The staff is great and will make you feel like at home. Food is fresh and you have lots of options for breakfast. I recommend their gold package with 2 romantic dinners with flower setup welcome drinks etc. Lots of activities to enjoy including silver making, and 3 island snorkeling experience. I recommend hiring a bike and visit the whole island. Truly recommend. You will feel like a VIP. ☺️ Terima kasih 🙏

We spent 4 nights and could have stayed 40! Immaculate villa, exceptional service, private, central to the island and best of all quiet so a fantastic sanctuary to return to after exploring. Easy ride to the main strip, clubs and beaches. Private pool was amazing. We would highly recommend and return.
