BIG NEWS FOR 2026: We have just completed a massive renovation of our Party location! To celebrate, we are launching an entirely new concept across our three properties (all within 150m of each other).
Now, you get all the legendary atmosphere of Gili T’s #1 social hostel, without having to sacrifice your sleep. You choose which building you want to sleep in when you book your room type:
🔥 PARTY: NEWLY RENOVATED! Home to our main pool, including our famous climbing wall, our legendary bar, and high-energy nightly events. Perfect if you want to walk out of your dorm straight into the action.
🌴 CHILL: A premium, relaxed sanctuary designed for recovery. Think minimalist design and a peaceful atmosphere. The perfect hangover cure - ideal for high-quality rest, catching up on laptops, or reading by the water.
🧭 EXPLORE (OLD BROKEN COMPASS): Your gateway to adventure. Home to our in-house dive center Viking Divers, and the perfect communal space to meet dive buddies and adventure seekers.
No matter which building you sleep in, you have 100% full access to all three properties, pools, and daily events. Party. Chill. Explore. Repeat.
