Gili Trawangan is the largest and most popular of the 3 ‘Gilis’ or Gili Islands, thanks to its well-established infrastructure that preceded the other 2 islands: Meno and Air. So, if you’re a first-timer, you can opt for Trawangan as your first ‘landing point’, where you can enjoy most of the action.

Trawangan has the best range of facilities among the 3 islands, with a larger land size and a good mixture of hotels, bars and restaurants that cater to different styles and preferences. The main southern coast near the boat dock gets you closer to the ‘castaway’ style-like nightlife scenes, while those on the secluded western shore offers peace and tranquillity, ideal for honeymooners and couples.
