Gili Trawangan

The Three Gili islands are located of the the northwest coast of Lombok, a little over 60 miles (100km) from Benoa harbour in Bali, around 20 miles from the Eastern Tip of Bali.

They were first discovered by back-packers back in the 1980’s, when they became a popular well-kept secret among a more adventurous crowd seeking to escape to an island paradise, far from the madding crowds of Kuta Bali and the like. The waters are crystal clear and teeming with marine life, the beaches pure white sand, you can snorkel straight off the beach and enjoy a timeless paradisic lifestyle.

Although the first to develop homestays was Gili Air (the nearest island to Lombok), it is Gili Trawangan that subsequently became known as the ‘party island’ – a young, adventurous European crowd having way too much fun far away from home. Simple bungalows with generator supplied electricity soon sprang up like mushrooms, to cater to a crowd eager to get off the beaten track.
