Gili Trawangan — Est. 2016
The largest of the three Gili Islands, off the north-west coast of Lombok. No cars, no motorbikes, and some of the easiest diving in Indonesia.
Our island
Gentle water, healthy reefs, and everything ten minutes away by bicycle.
The three Gilis sit inside a protected marine park, ringed by coral reefs and sandy slopes that start just off the beach. Currents are usually mild, the water is warm all year, and most sites are less than fifteen minutes by boat, which makes this one of the best places in Indonesia to learn and one of the most relaxed places to fun dive. Our dive centre is on the east-coast strip, a short walk from the harbour.
Lombok International (LOP) is the closest airport. Bali (DPS) has more international connections and fast boats straight to the Gilis.
Fast boats run daily from Padang Bai and Serangan direct to Gili Trawangan. Book a day ahead in high season.
Travel Time: 2 - 3 hrs on water
From Lombok airport, a car to Bangsal harbour on the north-west coast takes around two hours.
Travel Time: ~2 hrs by road
Public and shared boats leave Bangsal through the day. We're a five-minute walk from where they land.
Travel Time: 20 - 30 min on water

Nightlife
Dry, calm and quieter on the island. Good visibility and easy boat conditions.
The best visibility of the year and the calmest seas. Busiest on land, so book early.
Warm water and short tropical showers, mostly in the afternoon. Fewer people on the reef.
