The Gili Islands, three in number (Gili Trawangan, Gili Meno, Gili Air), off Lombok, ban motor vehicles: getting around is on foot, by bicycle or traditional horse cart.
Snorkeling and turtles
The shallow water around the three islands is home to a sea turtle population visible while snorkeling right off the beach, no boat trip needed.
Three different vibes
Gili Trawangan concentrates the nightlife and buzz, Gili Air offers a calmer middle ground, and Gili Meno, the smallest, stays the quietest of the three.
The Gilis are reached by fast boat from Bali or Lombok; like the rest of the region, the dry season runs May to September.
