About this experience

Pharmacies in Gili Air are small, island-based medical supply points serving residents and tourists on Gili Air, a car-free island off Lombok, Indonesia. These outlets stock basic first-aid items, common medications, and rehydration salts, though supplies are limited and restocked by boat. For serious conditions, visitors should plan for evacuation to Lombok or Bali, as no full-service hospital exists on the island.

What to expect

Two main pharmacy kiosks operate near the harbour and central village, each open roughly 9am to 6pm daily, with shorter hours during low season.
Stock includes paracetamol, ibuprofen, antihistamines, oral rehydration salts, antiseptic cream, and bandages, but no prescription antibiotics or chronic-disease medications.
Visitors can buy sunscreen, insect repellent, and motion-sickness tablets for boat trips, though brands are limited and prices are 20-40% higher than on Lombok.
Pharmacists speak basic English and can advise on minor ailments like jellyfish stings, sunburn, or traveller's diarrhoea, but they do not provide injections or wound suturing.
The nearest full pharmacy with a wider range is on Lombok (Bangsal harbour, 20 minutes by public boat), so travellers with specific prescriptions should bring their own supply.
These outlets suit self-sufficient travellers with minor first-aid needs; those with chronic conditions or expecting serious illness should carry a personal medical kit.
