VAYAM Boutique Resort & Spa Gili Asahan in West Nusa Tenggara 83365, open July–October.
White sand beaches and turquoise waters frame this clifftop resort on Gili Asahan, an island off Lombok's west coast.
VAYAM rises from dramatic coastal terrain where volcanic rock formations meet pristine shoreline, offering 360-degree views across the Lombok Strait.
The property's 12 private villas and open-air pavilions command the oceanfront, with direct beach access and sunset vistas across three neighboring islands.
I was very disappointed with my stay at Vayam. I travelled 7 hours from Bali specifically to relax, since there isn’t much to do on this island other than enjoy the peace and the beach. When I arrived, I was told there were construction works from 9am to 5pm. As a result, there was noise all day, both on the beach and inside the room, which completely defeats the purpose of coming here. The yoga shala was also closed due to renovations. This was one of the main reasons I chose this hotel. I would have really appreciated being informed beforehand, so I could have canceled or booked the hotel next door instead. Considering the price, this is something that should absolutely be communicated. The room itself is quite basic, especially compared to other places in Indonesia for a much lower price. You expect to pay more here for tranquility and a beautiful setting, but those conditions were not there. I honestly felt like I paid a lot for nothing. The restaurant is expensive and not very good. The portions are tiny and not generous at all. I ordered a dish that was supposed to be made with truffle oil, but you could only taste a plain, bland cream, not truffle. As for breakfast, the juices were good, but the portions are extremely small. If you choose something sweet, for example, you get two very small pancakes with not much flavor. The island itself is not as charming as expected, as there is quite a lot of trash around, which takes away from the experience — especially after such a long journey to get here. To be fair, the staff is kind and friendly, and I appreciated the free kayaks and paddle boards — that was a nice touch. But overall, the stay did not match the promises, nor the price.
