Jet explained to us that the name was meant to allow people to leave all behind them, and so to find what was really important. All the other comments here are accurate, her generosity and lovely long yoga sessions in the morning will always stay with me. Via Vacare is quiet, and the lapping of the waves at night were...

Gili Gede is a peaceful place with excellent food in a lovely location. A great place to chill out. It does get a bit hot at night as there is not electricity, therefore no fan and there can be mosquitoes at times. The atmosphere is good, possibly a little bit too controlled by the owner... However the other guests were... More

Via Vacare is a beautiful, peaceful resort on the small island of Gili Gede (which actually means "Large Island") in the southwestern part of Lombok. Dutch/indonesian owner Jet Kellner and her staff managed to make us feel extremely welcome in her little paradise. Excellent food, great company and a stunning ocean view! Party animals, thrill seekers and stag parties: please... More

A lovely crew, a nice place, snorkelling in front of the beach not excellent, but from the boat very. Rattu is one of the friendliest persons we have ever met. And for our teenagers and youngsters it was a great and necessary experience to see with how little luxury (mandis, not showers, electricity only a few hours per day) they... More

It's by chance that we staid at Via Vacare which has been recommended to us by another really pleasant guesthouse in Rinjani mountain. We staid 2 more nights than I had planned, just because the place is so beautifull and all the staff so nice. The bungalows are really well furnished and tastefully designed by the owner Jet who turns... More

Via Vacare is a real beautiful and quite place to relax on Gili Gede. We stayed there for three nights and enjoyed the delicous food prepared by Ibu Jet - the owner. She and her crew are grandiose and creative cooks. The best food we had on our whole trip! Everybody there was very lovely and we felt as we... More

Great staff and the food was really quite good. There were many bad aspects of our stay namely the owner Jet, was there, when she was not meant to be with her sister and husband and feigned being sick so as we had to curtail our noise. She did not make us feel at all welcome as we did not... More

Via Vacare is just perfect! Its is located on the shore of an unspoiled little island of Lombok, next to a lovely fishermen village. It is all calm and relax. The staff is great, really warm and kind. The atmosphere there is just gorgeous. There are only a few bungalows there, all huge and fresh. There is no Tv, no... More
