Gili Trawangan: The Ultimate Island Energy
Welcome to Gili Trawangan—or "Gili T"—the largest, liveliest, and most famous of the Gili trio. In 2026, it remains the ultimate destination for travelers who want world-class diving by day and electric beach vibes by night.
Nightlife & Dining
Beyond the Party
While Gili Trawangan is famous for its nightlife, there is a sophisticated side to the island that many are discovering in 2026. The north and west coasts host high-end luxury villas and quiet beach clubs where the only sound is the rhythmic crashing of waves and the clinking of cocktail glasses.
Night Market
Feast on fresh seafood and local delicacies under the stars.
Island Loop
Rent a bike and cycle around the entire island in 60 minutes.
Underwater Adventures
Gili Trawangan is a global hub for scuba diving. From "Shark Point" to "Manta Point," the waters are teeming with life. Even if you aren't a diver, the snorkeling right off the beach is world-class, with turtles frequently spotted in the shallow seagrass areas.
Insider Tip for 2026
For the best sunset without the crowds, head to the **Hilltop Viewpoint**. Most people stay on the beach swings, but the short hike to the island's highest point offers a 360-degree view of Bali's Mt. Agung and Lombok's Mt. Rinjani.
Getting to Gili Trawangan
Being the main hub, Gili Trawangan is the primary stop for most fast boats from Bali. Whether you depart from **Padang Bai** (shortest crossing) or **Sanur** (best for South Bali travelers), you'll be stepping onto the white sands of Gili T in less than 2 hours.
