an archipelago of 3 tropical islands, the gili islands are easily accessible from either bali or lombok by boat. unique in the way that no motorised vehicles are allowed on the island so transport is via foot, bicycle or the local cidomo- horse drawn cart. there are a number of horse riding stables offering lessons for the lesser experienced as well as those wanting to gallop their way through the surf to sunset beach of AN EVENING.

gili trawangan, sits between lombok and bali

and is the largest of the 3 islands, yet still just a short 20 minute boat ride away from neighbouring gili meno and gili air. we are located just a short 10 minute walk or bike ride away from Turtle Beach where swimming with turtles in their natural habitat is a daily treat for the senses. You’ll also find plentiful shops selling local handicrafts alongside a multitude of beach front cafes and restaurants, all just a short walk or cycle ride away.
