Why you'll love it
The Gili Islands are three small coral islands off Lombok's northwest coast: Gili Trawangan, Gili Meno and Gili Air. They get Triptakeo's top score for beaches and 9 out of 10 for romance. There are no cars or scooters, so you get around by bicycle, on foot or by horse-drawn cart.
The best time to visit the Gili Islands is May to September, the dry season, when the sea is calm and the water is clearest for snorkelling. Boat crossings can be rougher in the wet season.
Each island has its own pace. Gili Trawangan is the liveliest, with bars and dive schools. Gili Air is relaxed but social, and Gili Meno is the quietest, a favourite for honeymooners. Turtles are commonly seen while snorkelling just off the beaches. Boats run from Lombok and from Bali.
The Gilis suit couples, honeymooners, snorkellers and divers wanting a slow island holiday.
