Already there
Smallest and quietest of the three Gili Islands off Lombok's northwest coast — car-free and motorbike-free (cidomo horse-carts and bicycles are the only transport). Most stays cluster on the east coast (sunrise side, near the harbor) or the south coast (sunset side). Same Indonesia visa story. The structural draws are car-free island geography, sub-Bali rents, and direct reef diving from the beach. The structural friction is logistical — power and internet are functional but not Bali-grade, and the only access is by boat from Lombok or Bali.

Editorial estimates. Not financial advice. The 4% rule is a planning anchor, not a guarantee — sequence-of-returns risk and tax-jurisdiction friction (US-LLC / FEIE / state residency) can move the real number meaningfully. See our expat tax directory for the cross-border side of the math.
