The island

Cilik means “small” in Javanese

You can walk around the island in about ten minutes. Palms and tropical forest in the middle, white sand along the edge, and all around a shallow turquoise lagoon with corals stretching out to the reef line.

We are building a small resort here: just 27 villas, a beach restaurant, a spa and a sunset pier. Every building is a single storey, below the palm crowns.

Villas

Three kinds of villa, every one on the water

Frameless glass facing the sea, teak floors, a terrace over the lagoon and your own pool.

20 villas

Beach villa

Right on the water’s edge: the terrace reaches out over the lagoon, with a private plunge pool, a net hammock above the water and a ladder straight down to the corals.

6 villas

Overwater villa

On stilts along a curved pier, with nothing around but water and reef. A terrace with a pool and steps down into the lagoon.

1 villa

Two-bedroom overwater villa

160 m² at the very end of the pier: a living room with a glass floor above the lagoon, two bedrooms and a deck with an infinity pool.

Reef

Snorkelling starts from your terrace

A lagoon of about 19 hectares rings the island: warm shallow water, coral gardens and the reef edge where the waves break. Every villa has its own steps straight into the water.

Dining

Dinner by a pool that melts into the sea

The restaurant sits right on the beach under a thatched roof. In front of it lies an infinity pool of about 400 m² with a bar, its edge disappearing into the sea. In the evening a fountain plays over the water, and on movie nights films are shown on a water screen.

Spa

Spa, yoga and the quiet of the forest

The spa is tucked away in the heart of the island among the trees: a spa with a sauna, an open-air yoga pavilion and a gym.

Moments

What you will come back for

Sunset pier

A gazebo on stilts at the end of a boardwalk: dinner for two or a marriage proposal.

The whole resort for you

A wedding, an anniversary or a family celebration: all the villas and the restaurant reserved for your guests.

Reef on the doorstep

Coral gardens a few metres from your villa’s ladder.

Cinema on the water

An evening fountain and films on a water screen beside the pool.

Getting here

A short trip from Java, then a boat to the jetty

The island lies in the Java Sea. You fly or take the ferry from Java, then a short boat transfer brings you straight to the resort’s jetty. We will send you the detailed route together with your invitation.

The resort is now at the design stage: the master plan, the working drawings of the first villa and the construction estimate are ready. We will announce the opening to the waitlist first.
