Lombok & The Gili Islands Hotels
Lombok and The Gili Islands are how most people envision paradise. The luscious greenery fringed with pearlescent white beaches, a peaceful atmosphere and friendly locals are why many tourists come here to experience the quintessential remote island experience.
Each one of the islands has its own personality. If you’re looking for a chic, cosmopolitan vibe to go with your cocktail, Trawangen is the one for you. With a variety of bars and restaurants to choose from, this island utopia is becoming a hotspot for tourists and holidaymakers, but still remains remote enough to enjoy that castaway experience.
If you’re looking for a quiet retreat that’s full of local character, then Gili Air is perfect for you. With a population of just under 2,000, this tropical island is popular with honeymooners and solo travellers. Gili Meno is the smallest of the islands and is perfect for those looking to sink their toes into untouched white sands during an idyllic island getaway.
The natural beauty of The Gili Islands provides the perfect backdrop to your holiday, and each one offers breathtaking scenery with very little concrete interruption. There is no motorised travel on the islands, so peace and quiet is assured.
There are no airports on The Gili Islands, so flights to Bali from the UK provide the best route. Once you have landed take a ferry to Lombok and catch a local boat to The Gili Islands.
