Gili Trawangan Travel Guide — Things to Do, Food & Hotels
island in North Lombok Regency, West Nusa Tenggara Province, Indonesia
About Gili Trawangan
This is the largest of the three Gili Islands with an estimated permanent population of about 1500. Trawangan was the first of the three islands to attract visitors in any numbers, and it was backpackers who led the way. In the 1990s the island developed a reputation as a wild party destination with cheap accommodation, no police and heavy recreational drug use. While a strong party atmosphere can still be found, Trawangan has since matured into a destination that has a far wider appeal. Any visitor to Trawangan should be prepared for a real mix of fellow travellers; some will be ensconced in US$400 per night, unashamedly Bali-style villas, while others would be quite happy to crash in a dorm after a tough evening of partying. The thriving dive industry of the Gili Islands is centred here
