Built around its pool and deck and nestled within the natural landscape of the land it sits on, Captain Coconuts is a rustic tropical take on hostel accommodations. 

The compound is located on the island of Gili Air, a mere 5 kilometres off the coast of Lombok.

The white-sand beaches [of Gili Air] are arguably the best of the Gili bunch and there’s just enough nightlife to keep the sociable happy, says Lonely Planet.

You're never far away from the picturesque swimming beaches on this tiny island's eastern coast - where you'll also find many of Gili Air's restaurants.

When you stay at Captain Coconuts, you don't have to go far for some great eats. The CocoLoco Café offers dishes for everyone, whether your diet is gluten free, dairy free or vegan. You can enjoy whole foods fare whether you're passing by or staying in one of Captain Coconuts bungalows or dorms.

Wake up to this view from our Bamboo Lodge, your backpackers in paradise 🌴 Thanks for another awesome shot @palmtreesandwifi 💜 #giliair #giliislands #backpacker #hostel #hostellife #tropicalpool #palmtrees #indonesia #goodvibes

The Bamboo Lodge - floating bed dorm style accommodations

Imagine yourself sleeping amongst the coconut palms in an open-air floating bed dorm. One of the best accomodations and sleeping experiences I've ever had!🌝🌴I kinda miss my swinging bed!

The pool is the central to the atmosphere here, surrounded by the Standard Double Villas, Deluxe King Villas, and semi-secluded Family Villas.

Adventure in life is good, it's even better with coffee at breakfast ☕️🏊🏼
