About Air Festival:
“Like something out of a dream about deserted islands, lush jungles, open sea and white sands, comes Air Festival— a gathering like no other, set on a tiny island off the coast of Lombok, Indonesia.
For our third year we are weaving in elements of performance, ceremony, activism and the sacred into our spaces. 2017 brings with it the acute need to wake up and tune in, to stand strongly in our best selves, to activate our fondest wishes and desires for the future. This year we come not just to have a good time, but to have the best time, understanding that when we raise our individual vibrations, we generate more joy for the collective. This year we create our righteous dancefloor under the stars with even more intention and love.
Air Festival 2017 will leave as little trace as possible on its surroundings We are committed to leaving the beautiful island of Gili Air better than we found it— offering support to the local community in the way of waste removal and reduction and renovations at the local school.
This year we are challenging ourselves to go completely plastic free!”

Pay attention to your environment and host community:
Gili Air
Truly a vision of paradise, the Gilis are three tiny islands fringed by white-sand beaches and coconut palms, floating in a turquoise sea. Gili Air, the only one of the Gilis with fresh water (paradoxically, air means water in Indonesian), is a bit more chill than its sister island Gili Trawangan, and boasts some of the nicest beaches and snorkeling in the area. The Gilis have become increasingly known for their beauty and tranquility. Just a ride around the island on a cidomo, the horse-drawn carriage that is the Gili’s primary mode of transport, and you’ll fall under the spell. The Gilis are pretty laid back. Locals are accustomed to tourists and enjoy joking and chatting with visitors. Bathing suit and mellow beach attire is totally fine.
However, please keep in mind that the islands are Muslim, and keep the bikinis on the beach and not in the village in the center of the island. You will hear the call to prayer from the mosque five times a day. Please be respectful of local religion and customs. When in doubt, be polite and never, ever use foul language or gestures.”
