Gangga Island Resort & Spa

Location: The resort is praised for its stunning, private island location, offering a serene and exclusive holiday experience. The surrounding natural beauty, including pristine beaches and lush greenery, is frequently highlighted.

We stayed at Gangga Island for 4 nights during our 6-week-long travels through Indonesia. And yes, promises deliver! Gangga Island is an absolute paradise. When you are on the boat ride from the mainland, you'll see a tiny, lush green island appear. It seems like something from the movies! Once arrived, you are welcomed by the crew, and they will take care of everything for you. We didn't have to lift a finger! We were so impressed by their service! Our main contact at the resort was Rosie, and she was a delight to communicate with. She made sure we had everything we needed and checked in with us from time to time to see if everything was up to standard. And yes, it was! Then about the room... Wow! The beachfront cabin is so beautiful with its wooden interior and windows surrounding the bedroom. You're actually sleeping on the beach, but in a luxurious way. The room is spacious, and they provide a big container of drinking water, which you can use throughout your stay. I really liked that because I tend to drink a lot of water, and this way, I don't have to ask for a refill multiple times a day! Loved it. The bathroom has a window near the shower where you can see the beach and the ocean, so you start your morning right. They provide hand soap, body wash, shampoo, conditioner, and even body lotion! That's a real treat! You get multiple different sizes of towels, which I love because I always use one for my hair as well as for my body. I can go on and on about the room because it was absolutely perfect. But there's much more to say! The dining area looks amazing, again with the wooden interior. It has an open view of the beach and pool and feels very spacious. The food was great! Plenty of options for anyone, and the drink menu was to our taste as well. The staff makes sure that you feel like you're in a Michelin restaurant with the way they give service! My partner did a spa treatment, and he was amazed by the skills of the therapist. They really took the time for him, and they were very respectful. The spa area is super beautiful. I took a look around, and it's super relaxing. Then... the diving! We are avid divers, and we actually travel the world to see the underwater life everywhere we go. And at Gangga Island, it's amazing. They take you to different sites in the area, and we went to Bangka Island a few times. The reefs are beautiful, and we saw so many types of small macro stuff, including frogfish, pygmy seahorses, and nudibranchs. Our guide Gabriel was amazing... He found even the tiniest creatures that I could barely see when he pointed them out. So yes, we recommend Gangga Island for sure! I wish we could've stayed longer! We loved it so much. Hope we will be back!
