Ahhh, Khabita.. As cheesy as the omnipresent "Arrive like a guest, leave like family" slogan may sound - this is where you'll feel it. I had opted for a homestay first because I am not the "resort" type of guy, but then came to check out Khabita for 1 night after all. And left after 10 days! Michael, Lia, and Aris are so incredibly friendly and welcoming and really take you in like a new member of the family from the very first moment. Their place isn't just a business for them, they genuinely want you to feel at home, and that makes all the difference. I've booked a tent but they were so kind to put me into a little backpacker room instead for the whole time. This is a wonderful place for whatever you are seeking for. Want to be active and go snorkeling? Corals are not even a minute's swim away. Want to lie in the sun and relax? This is about the only establishment on the island that really frees its private beach from plastic, twice a day. If you want to unwind and disconnect, they've got you covered with lots of space, hammocks and a calm environment surrounded by nature. Need to do some work? Wifi worked out great most of the time and the bar has tables and plugs available. Want to socialize? Well, fingers crossed that more travelers will discover this little gem soon, but when they do, they are well prepared with their self-built bar. I've had a wonderful stay there and hope I can come back soon!

Nothing!

What can we say… this resort and especially the very nice people who run it were fantastic and beyond our expectations. They consider you as family, as friends… it was so difficult to leave when the time was there. The bungalows are airy and you fall asleep with the sound of the waves. The restaurant offers a limited menu but the food is made with love. The reef before the reef is in good shape with lots of healthy coral. If you snorkel by sunrise there is a big chance to spot turtles. Did I mention the sunsets with view on the mount Agung/Bali? We left heartbroken but with the genuine intention to go back. Terimah kasih Lea, Ares and all the staff.

Everything was just perfect

Beautifully peaceful and amazing sunsets. Our hosts Lia, Michael and team ( Aris & Risky ) could not have been more accommodating. Great for snorkeling (loaned free of charge)direct from their beach or they will arrange a boat to the neighbouring gilis using locals at a fraction of the cost offered at Lombok Harbour. Contact Khabita to arrange a driver to collect you from the airport or hotel and a boat to take you directly to the resort. Airport taxis are 3-4 times the going rate and we were ripped off at the harbour, being charged 200K instead of 50K for 2 tickets. We loved it so much that we extended our stay and were still reluctant to leave. Thanks to you all at Khabita.

It is so sad to see plastic polluting these beautiful waters and coral reefs but Khabata do their best to clear the beach. Don't let that put you off .

The hosts Michael and his wife Liah and their staff where great. They made me feel like part of the family as soon as I arrived. It's also the best place on the island to have a reasonably priced drink in the evening and watch the sunset, I don't believe you can do that from any other resort on the Island? Also they are very helpful in booking local Island trips and onward travel. Whilst there, work on a the new Sunset bar and hostel commenced so I look forward to returning to enjoy them in the future. I'm also looking forward to hiring their new kayaks they have on order to do independent tours of the nearby Gilis/Islands, that will be amazing! 😎

Leaving 😮‍💨

Khabita is exceptional and was a highlight of our Indonesian trip. If you are looking for deep relaxation, exquisite views and sunsets, generous and delicious food, phenomenal staff, excellent snorkelling with blue and soft pink corals and the ultimate time and space to reconnect with yourself and your family then this is the place for you. The only difficult part is leaving, so prepare yourself for that. Khabita will feel like home and Lia, Michael, Aris and Risky will make you feel like family. Khabita will always hold a special place in our hearts and memories. Terima kasih 🙏🏽

Wonderful stuff. We forgot our earphones and they have sent it to us in Bali. The place is very peaceful and the view of the beach is awesome

Beautiful spot right on the beach in gili gede. a fantastic place to watch the sunset and relax. words cannot describe the heartwarming place it is, the owners went above and beyond to make you feel like family and at home, they have a little canoe that they let us borrow to paddle out and explore, two of the loveliest and sweetest dogs I have ever met and incredible food made with love. We booked to stay in the tent as we are travelling on a budget and it was so nicely set up, extremely comfortable for two, which was a nice surprise after expecting limited camping amenities. They set up a super comfortable bed and brought out an extension lead so we could charge our phones, the showers and toilets were close and super clean (and the water was the warmest we had seen in a while).

I loved my stay at Khabita! Lia and Aris are such beautiful persons, I felt home and I was sad to leave this little paradise. The bedrooms are huge. The food is very generous. Sunsets are amazing! It’s also possible to snorkel directly from the homestay beach or to borrow a small boat and paddle to amazing places! In addition, they helped me to treat my phobia with their two nice dogs 😀

Wow! This was the holiday of a lifetime. We were so happy we found this untouched, beautiful little spot. Khabita is amazing! From the food, lodges to the food, you can’t go wrong. Snorkel trips were the highlight - turtles, blue coral, thousands of fish and rarely another sole! The hospitality was amazing, and we really were treated like family. This place will hold a special place in my heart for years to come.

If you want a fantastic time in a tropical paradise, this is where you need to be. Michael and Lia are fantastic hosts, and go above and beyond to ensure you have everything you need and more. The bungalows are large, clean, and have comfortable beds. The food is plentiful and tasty, prepared onsite by Lia and the local staff. The sea is just three steps from the bungalow door, and offers an underwater garden of life and colour. We will be back!
