Visiting Lombok is not complete without visiting Gili islands. Trying snorkeling in those islands.There are some nice hotels, cafe, resto and club to enjoy with.

We stayed at Sengiggi Beach on Lombok and got the local boat across to the Gili Islands. We stopped at all 3 Gillies and some times we jumped straight off the boat to snorkel. Gili T had plentiful small fish, Gili M had the best coral and we saw turles, and we finished off with Gili Air which had big... More

Lovely beaches, although very crowded and tourist. Good restaurants on the hotel but also expensive and very touristy. Had the whole 'reggae' theme going all the time with the music, dancing etc, really poor taste as it is a genuinely beautiful Indonesian Island, no need to push that overdone theme. Has really lost its 'heart' since visiting 20 years ago.... More

Snorkelling all Gili Trawangan, Meno and Air was definitely a highlight of the holiday. Gili Meno and Air would be a beautiful place to holiday with small children as there are no cars or scooters on the islands.

It's a true tropical paradise with great sea life, turtles are not hard to find in the coral reefs. Accomodations are unbelievable, price ranges between 6 dollar and 60 bucks a night. For that 60 dollars you get a gorgeous place with a private swimming pool, breakfast ans extras like bikes. Poolbars, party places and cocktail lounges are everywhere. Just... More

A stunning little bubble in the horror of Bali tourist overload well worth a visit for those who cant leave behind their luxury but wish to explore a bit further than the cultural anachronisms of Ubud or Lovina

Three Gili islands - Gili Travangan, Gili Air, Gili Meno. Gili Travangan - place for fun and parties. Gili Air - respectful place, more expensive. Gili Meno - calm and relax place.

I live in Indonesia so a trip to Gili was a must! We booked Sunrise because of the good price and cute pictures online :) We LOOVED the location, style of rooms, and the breakfast! I stayed in a two story tradition home. The first floor is open air with a twin bed for relaxing, a hammock, table and chairs... More

The three Gilis have something for everyone You want quiet, go to Gili Meno; want to experience a more local experience, go to Gili Air; want to socialize, head to Gili Trawangan, where you'll meet people from all over the world. Gili T is also a great place from where to go snorkeling or diving. There's no shortage of dive... More

The beaches of Gili are nicer and whiter than the one where we stayed in Oberoi. It takes about 20 minutes for the boat ride to the islands from the northern tip of Lombok. You can actually spend a whole day or even a night on one of the Gili islands for a truly rustic adventure.
