Loading ...Gili Islands Nusa Tenggara Indonesia Travel
Just off the northwestern coast of Lombok is a vision of tropical paradise – a trio of tiny coral-fringed islands, each with white sandy beaches and pellucid water teeming with a kaleidoscopic array of reef fish. For years the islands of Gili Air, Gili Meno and Gili Trawangan were a budget-priced stopover for travellers on the Asian trail, but in recent years accommodation options have diversified and now there are luxury villas and rustic-chic bungalows dotted between the simple bamboo-and-thatch huts for rent.
Delightfully free of cars and motorcycles, the Gilis are home to just the tinkling cidomo and the odd bicycle. Each island has professional scuba-diving centres, and the snorkelling is excellent too.
