Despite being such a small island, Gili Trawangan has a superb selection of dining experiences to choose from. Ranging from Japanese, Indian and tapas, to fresh seafood barbeques and sandwich bars, local treats (Nasi Campur at Khayangan, opposite the Japanese restaurant, is highly recommended) and bakery delights! It’s all there, all you have to do is decide where to go!

If coffee is your thing, Gili Trawangan has two coffee shops over-looking the sea providing idyllic views to accompany that perfect cup. One shop offers Illy coffee, while the other specialises in Caswell’s coffee from all over Indonesia, including coffee from Aceh, Sumatra, Java, and not fogetting Lombok – a real coffee aficionados heaven!

As you would expect for a tourist destination, there are several bars on the island including a daily live music venue and an Irish bar. The main bars on the island take it in turns to host the ‘party’ every evening, which usually kicks off after 11pm and can continue until the wee hours of the morning!

And if partying is not your thing, you can catch a film at the ‘cinema’ or on a private TV, or just chill out overlooking the sea and majestic Mt. Rinjani.
