COUPLE RETREAT SERIES :: GILI GATEWAY
THE GILI'S, LOMBOK
The name "Gili Islands" is a misnomer, because Gili simply means "small island" in Sasak.
The Gili Islands are a group of 3 tiny islands :
Gili Air
Gili Meno
Gili Trawangan
It near the coast of northwest Lombok Island. Characterized by sandy beaches fringed with palm trees, they're known for their coral reefs just offshore. The islands are a popular destination for tourists. Each island has several small resorts, usually consisting of a collection of huts for tourists, a small pool and restaurant. Scuba diving and freediving in and around the Gilis is also popular due to the abundance of marine life and attractive coral formations. Most famous diving spots are Shark point, Manta point and Simon's reef.
GILI AIR
Gili Air is the second smallest of the islands and the closest to mainland Lombok, making it popular with honeymoon couples and travelers seeking a quiet retreat. The island offers excellent snorkelling and scuba diving off its east coast, and turtles can be seen along the coral reef.
GILI MENO
Gili Meno is the middle of Lombok's three northwest coast Gilis. On the west side of the island there is a small shallow lake that produces salt in the dry season. Gili Meno has crystal clear water and idyllic, secluded white beaches for swimming all around the island, and a turtle sanctuary & bird park.
GILI TRAWANGAN
Gili Trawangan is the largest of Lombok's Gili Islands and the only one to rise significantly (30 m) above sea level. The name Trawangan originates from the Indonesian word Terowongan (Tunnel) due to the presence of a cave tunnel built there during Japanese occupation in World War 2. The main means of transportation are bicycles (rented by locals to tourists) and cidomo (a small horse-drawn carriage) and that will make Gili Trawangan is air pollution-free area.
