Gili TrawanganGili Trawangan

Gili Trawangan is one of three idyllic islands located to the east of Bali, just off the north-west coast of Lombok.

Gili Trawangan's pristine white sand beaches are surrounded by the crystal clear waters of the Java Sea. With no motorised transport allowed on the island, we are free from the noise of traffic and horns often experienced on Bali. Our local means of transport is by Cidomo (horse and cart) or by bicycle. The island is only 7km around, so nowhere is far!

Gili Trawangan is commonly misrepresented by popular guide books as being the 'party island'. Here you can find the perfect balance between a lively social scene and tranquil nights watching the sunset - the choice is yours!

One of the Gili islands most alluring features is the spectacular array of marine life - whether you are snorkeling in front of Balé Sampan or diving the fringing coral reefs you can expect to see everything from turtles, sharks and rays, to the more unusual camouflaged critters.
