The word “gili” translates to “island’ and there are countless islands in the Indonesian Archipelago. However, when referring to ‘The Gili Islands’, we mean 3 specific islands located just off-shore from Lombok and just a short boat ride from Bali: Gili Trawangan<\/strong>, Gili Meno<\/strong> and Gili Air<\/strong>. These pristine little tropical islands are tiny paradises without motorbikes, cars and any other forms of motorizes traffic. It is truly idyllic.<\/p>\n

The largest and most famous of the 3 Gilis is also known as the ‘party island’ but don’t let that scare you away – there is far more to “Gili T” than the party strip and buzzing nightlife! In fact, Gili Trawangan is also perfect for families! It is the liveliest island where there are lots of activities to keep you entertained ranging from shopping, diving, snorkeling, beach cinema under the stars, night markets, beachfront BBQs and more. There are lots of other families to meet, there are trendy coffee bars, organic health food cafes, laid-back beach bars and many awesome family-friendly villas with private swimming pools.<\/a><\/p>\n
