About Us

Trawangan Island

Gili Trawangan is the largest of over 30 Gili islands that surround Lombok. It is also the only Gili island to rise significantly above sea level (60m). Gili Trawangan measures 3km long and 2km wide.
 
The island is located north west of Lombok.  The population of Trawangan Island is approximately 3500 permanent residents. Gili Trawangan’s name originates from the Indonesian word Terowongan which translates to tunnel, due to the cave tunnels built there during the Japanese occupation in WWII.
 
The closest islands are Gili Meno and Gili Air, both are just a short boat ride from Gili Trawangan.
