The pristine beaches of Gili Trawangan

Paradise in Indonesia

Gili Trawangan is an island off the island of Lombok in Indonesia. Yes, an island off an island, that’s exotic! Many tourists visit this cluster of 3 islands off the coast of Lombok. You’ve got Gili Trawangan, Gili Meno, and Gili Air.

An example of pretty unsustainable tourism as these islands don’t have any drinking water, and potable water is shipped every day from the nearby island of Lombok. The beaches however are to die for!

Bright white sand and clear blue waters coupled with a temperature that makes you want to jump right in! Indonesia has tons of beaches like this, but Gili Trawangan definitely has an interesting vibe to it!

      Hey Nurul!
      We definitely want to go back to Indonesia and explore way more than what we did last time. We went there a couple of years ago as a mini-break from work in Dubai.. there wasn’t time for much. And of course, there’s more to Indonesia than to just hang out at the beach in touristic places!
      We will be back! ;)

      • Good, and thanks very much for shared about my country….
