Amazing beach front restaurant! We booked here for our Christmas Day set menu and it was incredible (awesome gravy, roasties) and the cheesecake was the best I’ve ever had ❤️ staff super friendly and helpful and great price too. We loved it so much we came back the last night for dinner and we’re equally as happy with the venue :) thanks so much xx

Amazing hotel, with lovely staff and perfect location on the beach for snorkeling with turtles and the sunset. We ate there a bunch of times and everything was yummy. One day I found the chef on the beach buying freshly caught fish off a local and so I ordered it for dinner - it was honestly the best fish I’ve ever had. Highly recommend!

We stayed here one night. It was a last minute stay as we had originally planned to stay in Gili Air this night, but after a problem at the hotel in Gili Air where the accommodations did not meet our standard we decided to head back to Gili Meno. It was a busy time in the Gili island b/c of the day of silence in Bali where many people leave Bali for night or 2 to avoid this holiday. The Meno house was booked where we had stayed 2 nights before so we booked here. Hotel was right on the beach. Breakfast was lovely. Chairs on the beach were comfortable. It was nice that they had a pool(s). We were a little bit stressed as we needed to catch a ferry back to Bali and the ferries were packed because of the return of many people back to Bali after the day of silence. In fact, an additional ferry was added that day but most people on the inland including the front desk at our hotel were unaware of this. It would have been nice if they had been aware of the extra ferry, not sure if the hotel should have done more research or the ferry company should have advertised better but that added stress to our vacation here. I actually do not recall our room much or our stay here but I think it was all fine for the most part but not as lovely as I wish it were. I remember I liked the Meno House better.

I am rating and describing only the restaurant. It was a delicious diner that We had in the beach hotel restaurant. The staff are good as well as the food. We took fish and chips as a main. Course and a toffee sticky pudding with vanilla Ice cream as desert ( we took first a pudding and pavlova but the last one was not good so has been changed and not charged) . The price are correct. I recommend to visit and had a dinner as they have a very beautiful beach view. May be I will come back to try the hotel on itself :) :)

Great welcoming and always smiling staff! They made our honeymoon even more special. Speed boat leaves you on the beach in front of the resort. Villa was tastefully decurated and it was facing the sea. Very good breakfast and restaurant with home made foods and fresh fish. Magic atmosphere at sunset! I definitely reccomand!

Came here to have dinner for my birthday! My husband arrange birthday cake also with affordable price and good cake! The appetizers, meal, and drinks were good! Services also good! All the staff even sang happy birthday when delivered the cake to our table!

Great place, the rooms are very nice, in a good condition. There are 2 pools with easy access from all rooms. The restaurant are fine, not fancy. The dishes they serve are well done. The menu is limited, and because there are not many options on the island, that is a problem. Breakfast is ok, but limited, and the same every day. Also a problem, because the are not really many alternatives. The staff is really friendly and all of them remember our kids name - that’s cute. We got picked up on the pier of Gili T, at the same minute we arrived from Bali, that was really great after a long day of traveling.

Beautiful location, great service and nice rooms. Food and drinks are also very fine. Altogether its a really nice hotel with value for money - our family would book again.

Amazing view with best food in the island. If you take private boat, you can dock right in front of hotel. I really liked that the hotel is newly renovated and quiet. The beach in front of the hotel is insanely clean too. There is dive shop only 2 min walk away from hotel so perfect for divers as well

Such a nice place! Great food, atmosphere and our server Aan and the rest of the crew were fantastic! We had a romantic candle light dinner to celebrate our anniversary. We can really recommend you to arrive just in time to see the sunset, which is beautiful from this place!

Enjoyed our stay at Mahamaya Friendly staff, good breakfast - possibly the most expensive place on Gili meno but you felt very well looked after! Premium on drinks /food if you want to stay at the hotel for the whole time you visit

The hotel is very exclusively placed on Gili Meno. If someone wants to have luxury stay away from hustle and bustle this is a great place. Their restaurant food is great as well, we got multiple vegetarian options here.

We had a comfortable stay at Mahamaya. A special welcome in our room to help celebrate our honeymoon was a lovely start. Room was clean and included unlimited drinking water and good amenities. The included breakfast was basic and nice, we ate elsewhere for dinners though for a little more atmosphere/food range. Beach-side service was good, but unfortunately the cocktails weren’t great. We enjoyed the complimentary bikes to explore the island.

Starting off with the location. Just awesome. Especially if you go there for dinner (with a reservation you'll get the best table) first row overlooking the beach and the beautiful sunset. The service was always on point and each one tried their best to fullfill all of the customers needs and wishes. I can recommend to each and everyone to go visit this restaurant

Really special experience. Located directly on beach with hotel’s loungers and tables, viewing the turquoise sea and neighbouring island. Loved the super king bed and outdoor shower. Ate every meal at the hotel and very impressed by the range, quality and presentation. Lastly, staff are attentive, available and very friendly!

We booked one of the two beach villas as a treat, it was lovely but if we stayed again I think I would book a standard room as all the rooms looked really lovely. Breakfast is good, only allowed one hot drink, but we could make more tea/coffee in our room. Only ate lunch once and it was very nice, restaurant was busy in the evening but we like to dine in more local places so can't comment on dinner but the setting is very romantic in the evening. Location - definitely best side of the island, good restaurants within walking distance, saw plenty of turtles either from our sun lounger or in the sea, close to the Bask underwater sculptures. Arranged a transfer via the hotel, which worked very well and meant we could arrive and depart from the hotel beach and not via the port on the other side of the island. Definitely the best midpriced place to stay on this beautiful and laid-back island 🏝

My partner and I ordered the mixed seafood grill and steak from the restaurant. While the grill and steak was decent, we felt that the price was a bit too expensive for the quality of food. Given that there are plenty of bars/restaurants in the area, we would recommend dining at other places!

We had a good time. You can snorkel right around the island, but we saw most sea turtles and beautiful coral right in front of the hotel. Lunch was good as well as breakfast. The menu items are just a little bit expensive compared to the local areas. We had dinner at a local restaurant. You get free snorkelling gear and bicycles to tour the island with. That was all great. One downside is the room- although beautiful and neat- it is not very practical. The airconditioning in the room was on it's last life and did not really work well. The bathroom is kind of open area with an outside shower, so the outside heat and humidity lies here. The door between the bathroom and the room does not seal well so the little cold wind the aircon tries to give, the bathroom heat seaps through and takes away. In the end it was very hot and we ended up sleeping on the floor where the tiles are cooler. The room door kept hitting inside the doorframe and made such a noise, we had to put a towel underneath the door to prevent it. Overall we had a nice experience. Sad to say, if you look at the rooms, we didn't get what we paid for. Everything else was fine.

They have tables in the beach and at night they are really nice! Make sure to make a reservation Food is pretty good, fresh squid was really good and the Nutella dessert amazing. A bit pricey compared to other restaurants in the island

Friendliest staff of the planet, and the quality of the hotel is amazing, I wonder how they can provide such a high standard on an island that has basically only beach and some trees, no cars etc. So a little luxury wonder on an island of pure peace 💛

Cute little sea turtle 🐢 sanctuary. No one was around when I passed by so hopefully they are being cared for. I am sure once things pick up on the island, the sanctuary will be back operating at full capacity.

Went to walk by the place to try and check out the sanctuary. The turtles are still relatively young at 3 months old. They would need to stay for a couple more months and when they are 7 months old then would be able to release them to the sea. As mentioned by the owner when I went to drop by.

We had a great time releasing the baby tirtles into the sea, it is a wonderful experience and was just magical watching the small turtle make its way into the ocean

Small little place with very devoted man running it!he is doing an amazing job trying to preserve these wonderful creatures as us humans are destroying their natural habitats!please donate when you get there!

Don’t go there!!! It’s cruelty!! These turtles will never survive!! They will all die!!! A sanctuary is for animals who are hurt, to release them if they are strong enough. The people there collect the eggs and put the baby’s in a pool for stupid tourists to make money!! It’s like a zoo! Worst! These turtles belong in the ocean!!

Pop in with no expectations for a quick 5 minute visit. Great to see the little guys being given a higher chance of survival. No cost but donations are accepted. Please note the hut is smaller than expected and could be easy to walk past.

Very small but felt authentic. The little baby turtles were so cute and some nice info about the conservation efforts. Asks for donations but no charge for the visit.

Great place, for those saying it is non authentic conservation they are wrong, the organisers do not allow tourists to touch or pickup the turtles. The turtles a fed so they get to a certain size to minimise predation in the wild

A must-visit destination for nature lovers and those interested in marine conservation efforts. Located in Gili Meno, Indonesia, the sanctuary provides a safe haven for endangered sea turtles. Visitors can witness the rehabilitation process, learn about the efforts to protect these majestic creatures, and even participate in the release of rehabilitated turtles back into the ocean. The sanctuary is well-maintained and staffed by knowledgeable and friendly guides who are passionate about their work. The stunning scenery and crystal-clear waters surrounding the sanctuary only add to the overall experience. Highly recommended for a meaningful and educational excursion.

This is NOT a sanctuary. This is someone profiting from ‘saving’ turtles. Keeping many baby turtles for prolonged periods in small, shallow pools teaches them nothing about the outside world and how to survive. They need to hit the sea as soon as, check back to see where they’re from and maybe someday they’ll find their way back. Most turtles hatch at night away from scorching temperatures so releasing them in the day also risks killing them in the heat. Sure, turtle survival rate is low out in the wild but these kids have no chance. Protecting eggs from predators so they hatch? Sure. But after that, stick them in the sea where the circle of life will do its thing.

It's great to see the establishment of this turtle conservation centre but many improvements can be done around the area to enhance the hygiene and system of that place. The staff said the baby turtle was to be released at about 3 months + but the notice board stated 7-9 months, which is inconsistent. They are charging 150000 Rupiah for 1 baby turtle release but it goes straight to the person working there but not the donation box, which may not directly contribute to the space improvement fund. But still, good to help the locals.

The sanctuary itself is small but you get to see baby turtles and that was nice. They accept donations and they are a stop on the snorkelling tours from Gili T.

Super cute turtles.. They seem to be taking really good care.. I don't understand much about what needs to be done and whatnot but they seemed to know what they are doing and everything was humane. You can release a turtle for 200k which is alot but they use that to help more turtles.

Mr Bolong know his turtles by heart and how to take good care of them. Protecting them from the threats of humans, of the nature, thank to him now there are lots of turtles in the sea around Gili Meno, which was not true 20 years ago. He is also very humble so you will not see him bragging about what he is doing, he's just doing it.

1AM and they still scream out over the loudspeakers, even children with their broken screams, blast out the sounds similar to that of a strangled cat. God is great, god is great, over and over again. I'm pretty sure God wants you all to go to sleep and give us some peace and quiet!

I hope you don't think only of yourself. Do you have to protect your beliefs even to the detriment of others? Please be quiet Please be quiet Please be quiet Please be quiet Please be quiet Please be quiet

This mosque is the reason why I go to Gili Trawangan for vacation with my husband. 88% Lombok people are muslims. My heart is in peace listen to all the sholawat & adzan from this mosque while I stay in the island. May Allāh keep this mosque always. Allāhu Akbar! ❤️🥰

Beautiful Masjid..

To all the tourists who complain about the noise of the mosque... the native population on the island is muslim like 88% of the indonesians. I live in France and i don't complain about the church bell so PLEASE try to be more respectful of the country you visit or take a flight ticket for BANGKOK 👋

It's important to remember that when we travel, we are guests in another culture, and it's our responsibility to understand and respect their customs and traditions. In Gilli T, the mosque's call to prayer, known as the Adhan, is a significant part of their daily life and religious practices. Equating it to a song is a misunderstanding of its significance. As visitors to Gilli Trawangan, a predominantly Muslim island, we should be aware of their customs and appreciate their hospitality. The people here are known for their warmth and kindness, and they welcome tourists with open arms. It's important to show the same respect in return. If the Adhan is not to your liking, it's essential to remember that you chose to visit this island, and it's a matter of personal preference. It's not appropriate to impose our beliefs or preferences on others in their homeland. It would be similar to complaining about the cold in the North Pole - it's simply a part of the environment and should be expected. Let's strive to be open-minded and respectful when we visit other countries and experience their unique cultural practices. This will not only enhance our travel experiences but also help us grow as individuals.

The most shouting and noisy mosque ever((( Shouts for whole hour non-stop, VERY loudly(( not all people are muslim, and they need to sleep and enjoy their vacation, here impossible(( some take away their sound system, let them prey by only voice

Gili's economy is almost exclusively funded by tourists, the majority of whom are not Muslim and would prefer not to be woken up at 5am, or listen to 30 minutes of prayer on the beach 5 times a day. Barely anybody at the mosque, suggest turn down the volume, especially for early morning call to prayer, even by Indonesian standards this mosque is extremely loud.

Never miss my sholatulsubuh every morning when I was there after that sat at the beach to watch the sun rise. It was a moment to see as the sun pierce out of the horizon .. سبحان الله

Beautiful masjid. It was an honour praying Jummah prayer here. Thank you from Australia

I recently had the opportunity to visit Masjid Agung Baiturrahman in Gili Trawangan and perform Friday prayer. To be honest, I was not expecting to find such a beautiful mosque in a tourist spot filled with hotels, bikini shops, and alcohol vendors. But I was pleasantly surprised to see that many of the workers and sellers on the island are Muslim, and the mosque is a testament to their devotion. The mosque is well-built and can accommodate a large number of worshippers. Despite the hot and sunny weather outside, the interior of the mosque was cool and calming. I was particularly impressed to see whiteboards set up for learning Quran and Hadith, which shows that the mosque is not only a place of worship but also a center of learning. Performing Friday prayer in Masjid Agung Baiturrahman was an unforgettable experience for me. The atmosphere was serene and peaceful, and the sense of community among the worshippers was palpable. It was heartwarming to see people from different backgrounds and nationalities coming together to pray. Overall, I would highly recommend visiting Masjid Agung Baiturrahman if you find yourself in Gili Trawangan. It's a great way to connect with the local Muslim community and experience the beauty of Islamic culture in a unique and unexpected setting

This mosk has one of the most annoying 'singers' of all time. Seriously makes me crazy!!! At 04:30 am prepare yourself to be waked by this singer at 120 decibels. I just can't take it anymore. Oh my god, it goes on for hours and hours!!! Not just a prayer here and there, NO! They feel the need to do 30-minute sessions of Allah Akhbar 6 to 8 times a day. Not trying to be disrespectful but this is just crazy, the island is 80% foreigners and tourists, yet they still continue like the island is full of hardcore religious people. I was curious and checked one of the prayer gatherings, barely anyone attends so why 'sing' for hours a day? It's a mistery for everyone on the island. Eventually it made me leave the island and go back to Bali after 6 days, i just couldn't take another minute of this. So happy now that i'm gone.

Tourists who cannot stand the sound of the ezaan can go on holiday to another island in their own country of origin. It is THES people's island not yours.

Someone told me they moved the turtle hatchery somewhere else post earthquake. Could even see some wreckages. Still a very nice beach regardless. Remind me of what most beaches in Bali used to be.

Thank you for the amazing experience in Gili Trawangan, Gili Menu and Gili Air 😍. there're many pearl seller their pearl. That's my first time used speed boat accross the island. Amazing Lombok. My journey in Lombok island. Hope will come back again soon. 😍😍😍

Gili island is all about nature. Go snorkeling for around 150-200k IDR inclusive of food. It's really worth every single penny. They will take u to 🐢 turtle Point, Super Statues, Gili Air followed by lunch. I personally suggest you to of public snorkeling rather then the private one.

We took a day tour for visiting all three islands of Gili. I must say it was worth it. The guide was really fantastic. One of my friends didn't know swimming so he took my friend with him to ensure that he saw the turtle and the statues and the fishes. Totally, totally loved this place.

Nice island. Recomend! Spent there 3 nights with family.

Im sure they are treated very well but seems like a bit too much of a tourist attraction really which is unfortunate

Clear water, Fresh Air, Great Vibe, It's always great to come and enjoy Gili Trawangan

No need to go to deep water to see turtles..just a few metres from the beach and the turtles are there. Water is crystal clear and only 1-1.5 metres deep so it's safe for children. Just a reminder not to touch the turtles no matter how adorable they may look.

Nice little island. Plenty of resort to suit your budget. People are friendly here. Local and foreign food are also available here. There's Not car or motorbike in this island, o ly horse carriage and bicycle. Great island for a getaway and to chill. Lots of water activities available too.

Amazing place, blue and hot sea with too many kinds of fishes, turtles and another kind of sea animals. You can see it perfectly using a snorkel. A lot of parties at night. Amazing!

Beautiful island to visit if you going to Indonesia. Some points to keep in mind though, it takes pretty much the whole day to get from Bali to Gili Trawangan. You would start at 6am taking a 90min taxi ride to the harbour, then there's always a huge rush to get on the boat especially during peak season and it's poorly managed so even if you got a ticket early than someone else you might end up missing the boat, so you got push through to make sure you get on. You end up waiting on the harbour 2-3hrs then its a 2hr boat ride, so by the time you reach you will be exhausted. Another thing is the weather can cause cancelations, so always keep one day buffer while going and one day buffer returning. I saw many people who missed their flight from Bali coz they were returning the same day from Gili T and the boat got canceled. The best option I've found is take an inbound flight to Lombok directly or from Bali depending where you are coming from and then 90min taxi to the harbour and 10min boat ride to Gili. There's more number of boats and easier to get there. All in all it's worth the journey, the island is beautiful, people and friendly and it's very safe for tourists. Keep at least 3-4 days for each island else it's not worth it. The east side of the island is the party and night life and the west side is the quite romantic side.

Gili T, as it’s called, so much of hype about this place, cleanliness wise, it’s a zero. Rubbish is every where. The sea is only nice when it is high tide and when it’s low tide, you would see lots of rocks around it. Every 50m, you would come across a bar & restaurant with live shows which is too noisy. A plus point is the snorkelling trip.

Nice island with lots of things to do. Snorkeling, diving, party, welness, cycling etc. Keep in mind this is a party island. There are corners that are quieter but generally busy and lots of music in the night. Prices are cheap and ATMs available. Could not find a pharmacy on the island but doctors and supermarkets for plasters etc.. short trip over to meno and air. Nice place for sunsets and little cafes.

Good View, Good Vibe, Will Come Back Again!!

THE must-go-to Island if you want to party in Bali and want to buy everything you dream of with a few dollars! High quality food, customer service, activities and great people to have fun with! And a lot of cats!

Relax and chill Island, back to basic , cycle , walk or horse cart ride around this Island , around 1 hour 30 minutes you can walk around the whole island . Clear blue sea water with some sea turtles swimming , just most of the corals were dead due to tourist using sunblock and other factors ,this is also a party island , overall I like Gili Trawangan , lots of food variety too .

No cars, no motorcycles! Back to basis, horse carts, bicycles and a lot of walking. The whole beach front are filled with bars and lazy pools. If you love the sun and beach Gili loves you! Tours: Horse carts island tour / Snorkeling/ diving Food: wide range of food from local to international

It’s Freedom Island as people from Bali described it. Living young, wild and free. The residents could at least try to keep the island clean though, that was a let down.

Astoundingly breathtaking. I’ve been here back in 2013, but didn’t leave me an awesome experience, in 2023 this island is like a heaven. I left my heart here.

The island itself is fine, but the majority of those working on it are ignorant and rude. I am deeply disappointed. Not everyone, but most. Here's why: 1. Near the helipad, various banned substances are openly sold. While cycling, you're directly offered drugs. Drugs are illegal in Indonesia, so why does the police allow such open sales? 2. Beach vendors are also very annoying. You're trying to eat at a cafe, and they shove goods in your face. I go to a store when I need something, not to the beach where I want to eat and swim. 3. Abuse of animal rights. Poor horses stand without food or water in the heat. Why not use electric tricycles like in Boracay? Does Allah approve of animal suffering? 4. I've often encountered terrible attitudes from workers, ranging from simply mean to outright attacks. Ignorant, rude, and if given the chance, I'm sure they would literally tear tourists apart. Gili is a great place, but not because of its people. There are very few good people on the island. We came as guests! I behave more than decently, but that doesn't mean I'll tolerate rudeness from locals. The peak of their behavior is during Ramadan. Once, a man who sold me a boat ticket (which left an hour earlier without warning) yelled at me on the boat which I caught myself cuz I was not able to wait next few hours, that we whites came here and insulted us. We are insultes, me personally? Can you imagine? Is that normal at all? Fasting is your choice, if you can't handle it, stay home and avoid interacting with people. I wish more attention was paid to the locals' terrible behavior and rudeness. I'd like to see how they would react if tourism halted and no one visited anymore. A bit more, and soon there will be killings and robberies of tourists on the island.

the sea is clean, the water is blue green, and the beach is beautiful.

I’ve been to some isolated islands in some countries and I can tell one thing that makes tourists unhappy or upset is the tricky tickets whether it’s harbor tax, unexpected entrance fee, or whatever people call it. I don’t mind to pay IDR 10.000 per person as an entrance fee but I don’t want to line up AGAIN just to pay that. The government should add that to the tickets from the harbor so the tourists don’t need to wait again after two hours in the boat and few hours delay. But this voice will not be heard by the government because all they want is the cash! The island is pretty. However still lack of waste management (as many part of Indonesia). I like the idea of zero motorbikes and cars but there should be legal regulations about how many hours the horses can work. And to be honest, some tourists like that information to be public so there will be some appreciation to the local people. I can’t say that for the next couple of decades this island will still be beautiful but this year 2022, you can enjoy the tranquil life here.

It’s a dream island. Love this place so much. It’s a fairly small island, life is very slow here and I enjoyed every second of it. Sunrise here is amazing, the sunset as well. It’s not hard to find good food here, some are vegetarian and vegan friendly. Local people are really friendly here. Riding bike around the island is very much recommended. snorkeling and island hopping are both recommended activities as well. if you’re lucky, you will get to see turtles at the turtle beach. ❤️ Gili Trawangan, I will be back!

Nice small island, you can only use cycles and horse carts for traveling. There is good part of the island near the harbour were you will find most people and there is a shady were you will not feel safe. There is a roadside market though on the other side of the island.

Nice and busy island. A lot of diving and snorkelling spots. Prices of food are good. Nice night market. A lot of young people. Plz don’t ride the horses over there. And enjoy the vibe up there. Always be nice to your staff of the hotel or bar Super friendly people and respect them Plz give them a tip or a little extra 👌🏻

The absolute best place. So beautiful and a must to visit. The island is a vibe, the nightlife is great, the people are amazing

Crystal clear beaches and live music in the evening. It is the busiest of the other 2 gili. Around Gili Trawangan you will find the possibility of renting fins, snorkeling masks and rock shoes or you will find people who will sell you snorkelling to see turtles. Outside the tourist area there is a lot of poverty. Unfortunately it's something that no one sees. The thing I didn't like is that they exploit the horses a lot. They didn't give him water or food all day. On the island there is the possibility to rent bicycles for little money, please DO NOT TAKE horse carriages. I heard them screaming in pain, they are exhausted. They cannot carry 40 kilos of suitcases + 100/200 kilos of people. If all tourists avoided taking them, this thing would end. Thank you.

Very cool island; stay at the west side, where it is less crowded and you can watch the great sunsets; do a snorkeling tour!

Gili Trawangan is like a dreamy island with beautiful beaches and clear blue water. It's special because there are no cars, only bikes and horse-drawn carts. You can explore the island easily and enjoy the relaxed vibe. If you're feeling adventurous, renting a bicycle is a fantastic way to discover the island at your own pace, taking in the scenic beauty and coastal breeze. The underwater world around Gili Trawangan is fantastic for snorkeling and diving. It's like a colorful underwater city with fish and corals. Don't forget to catch the stunning sunsets on the west side – they're breathtaking. People on the island are friendly, and you can try delicious local food in cozy beachside cafes. These cafes add a special touch to your island experience, offering a perfect setting to unwind with your favorite drink and enjoy the panoramic views. Fresh seafood, vibrant colors, and artistic decor make these cafes a delightful part of Gili Trawangan's charm. You'll find renting a bicycle is convenient, allowing you to explore the island's nooks and crannies effortlessly. Accommodations range from cozy huts to nice resorts, so there's something for everyone. Evenings on Gili Trawangan are peaceful, and you can enjoy a bit of nightlife if you're in the mood. The best part is that everything is close by, making it easy to explore. Whether you're into adventure or just want to chill, Gili Trawangan is a little piece of paradise where you can forget about time and make beautiful memories.

If you have time and money, visit this island at least once in a lifetime! lately, Gili Trawangan is very crowded and touristic but the beauty of this island isn't vanished. Just take a few hours to walk around the island, it's just a small island. If you don't like walking, stroll around the island using bicycles. You will see a quiet place, without any pollution and public transportation, with beautiful blue beaches along the road. Breathtakingly beautiful!

Gili Trawangan is a tropical paradise! The crystal-clear turquoise waters, powdery white sand, and vibrant coral reefs make it an idyllic escape. Snorkeling with turtles was a highlight, and the laid-back atmosphere of the island is perfect for relaxation. Enjoyed stunning sunsets and a diverse range of dining options. A must-visit destination for those seeking serenity and natural beauty!

Amazing island with plenty of things to do. Great for families, couples, or for the solo partier. Small island but big enough for everyone to do the things they like. Vibrant party vibe on the east, quieter on the western sunset side. Cidomo horse carts are the only primary transport for cargo, the rest is all about renting bikes, or walking. Spent most of our time in the resorts on the western side. Did some snorkeling. Hit up the full moon party. And the New Year's party. Did a lot of pool siestas and watched many sunsets on the beach with great beats provided by DJs and live musicians. Oh, and the mushroom happy juice. The perfect vacation!

Going back in time, where life is much less hectic than your average daily grind. Biking everywhere, great vibes and food, amazing shores for your vitamin sea needs. Whether you're into sunset or sunrise, both are easily covered in this island. During Sunrise (east) you'll get the view of Mt. Rinjani and sunset (west) you'll get the view of Mt. Agung.
