Lombok and the Gili Islands are Indonesia’s laid back answer to tropical paradise. Just east of Bali, Lombok is known for its lush mountains, cascading waterfalls, and uncrowded beaches - perfect for nature lovers and adventure seekers alike. A short boat ride away, the Gili Islands - Gili Trawangan, Gili Air, and Gili Meno - offer crystal clear waters, vibrant coral reefs, and a slower, sun-soaked pace of life. Together, they’re the ultimate island hopping escape.

about aulelei
aulelei by amber has been a slow burning creative project that came to a head when it's founder fell pregnant & finally slowed down from her busy life working in finance & travelling - for the first time in her 29 years.
she wanted to feel beautiful during her first slow summer spent on the beach & under waterfalls - but couldn't quite find the swimwear that exuded the luxury mermaid vibes she was after.
& so aulelei by amber was born shortly before her son & is now growing rapidly with every new style, colour & gemstone found. aulelei uses only the best repurposed fabric, real gemstones, locally found shells & handmade charms to bring you pieces that they hope make you feel your most beautiful too.
