Lombok is a paradise on earth where its popularity is currently increasing. It’s because the MotoGP circuit is built in Mandalika, Lombok. The Mandalika circuit and the various tourist attractions around it are also why Lombok is currently famous as a favorite tourist destination. One of them is the Gili Islands.
The Gili Islands consist of 3 small exotic islands. These are more information about them:
Gili Trawangan
Gili Trawangan is an island that is more familiar than the two other islands in the Gili Islands. This island has an exquisite and natural charm. Many things can be done when visiting Gili Trawangan, including circling the island with cidomo (a small horse-drawn carriage), diving the seabed, cycling around the island, jogging on the beach, and swimming in the middle of the beautiful ocean.
Gili Trawangan also has a characteristic that is a hill with a height of 30 meters that the other islands don’t have. It is perfect for enjoying the sunset from the top of this hill. Various kinds of Indonesian specialties are also available in restaurants and cafes, which are very easy to find on this exotic island. There is no need to worry about finding accommodation because there are many Gili Islands Indonesia Hotels that you can choose from.
For your information, in Gili Trawangan, there are no motorbikes or cars. Which makes the air in the Gili Islands feel fresh, free from pollution.
Gili Meno
Gili Meno is only inhabited by 400 residents with an island area of no more than 150 hectares. But this island has a stunning natural beauty. No wonder many have named Gili Meno as a hidden little paradise of Lombok. Although not as popular as Gili Trawangan, this island has crystal clear seawater with charming white sand. The atmosphere is not as busy as other Gilis, making Gili Meno very suitable for tourists looking for tranquility during their vacation.
For couples who are on their honeymoon, Gili Meno can be recommended as Gili Islands Honeymoon because it is located far from the crowds, making it feels like just the two of you in the whole world. The underwater beauty of Gili Meno is also very lovely. In addition to coral reefs and colorful fish, divers can also see underwater sculptures by international artist Jason de Caires Taylor. The appearance of these statues is a collaboration with one of the largest hotels in Gili Meno, Bask Hotel.
Gili Air
This island offers a peaceful holiday atmosphere to enjoy Indonesia’s natural wealth. Although not as quiet as Gili Meno, Gili Air can be a choice of tourist attraction for those of you who don’t want to be far from Lombok.
Diving and snorkeling spots are also commonly found on Gili Air because of their global underwater beauty. Some of these spots are Air wall, Frogfish point, Air slope, Malang Reef, and Segaluh. The beach on Gili Air is also very exotic, clear sea water combined with white sand beach.
