Pondok Santi Estate is the ultimate getaway retreat featuring twelve beautiful bungalows set in lawned grounds on an ancient coconut plantation. Each traditional bungalow has a beautiful open-air bathroom, safe, air conditioner, mini bar, fan, lovely front terrace and day bed overlooking the manicured grounds. Private Pool Bungalows also include their own plunge pools, sun lounges and king size outdoor daybed. There are several day beds around the pool, on our beach and on the grounds, which are the perfect place to chill out, sleep or read. During the day, get together around the large 25m central pool where snacks and cold drinks can be ordered, listen to music or just relax on the sun lounges. The resort offers a boutique restaurant, which is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner while the main beachfront strip starts just 400m away with dive shops, restaurants, and beach bars, so you're never short of somewhere to eat. Cooling white stone paths link the areas of the estate, and coconut palms provide welcome shade in the heat of the day. In fact, everything has been designed to make sure your stay is comfortable and hassle-free. The island, with its coral reefs, is a favorite destination for divers, and one of the best dive spots is right outside Pondok Santi. There are plenty of dive shops on the beachfront where you can hire equipment, and arrange a boat trip. You don't need a boat for snorkelling as there's plenty of colorful coral and marine life to discover from the beachfront, including turtles, clown fish and many more! If surfing is your thing Pondok Santi is the perfect place, with a surf break right off the beach. For a couple of hours either side of high tide, you can paddle out and enjoy the waves. Most days and evenings 'Princess Margaux', the resorts luxurious traditional outrigger is available for sunset and snorkeling cruises, the boat can also be hired privately for island hopping adventures throughout the day. The island also offers riding and kayaking, and there are numerous spas on the island, where you can enjoy facials, massage and other beauty treatments. Lombok is just 20 minutes way by boat - a great destination for a game of golf, exploring the markets or a hike up Mt Rinjani.
I had the most wonderful stay at Pondok Santi. The staff go above and beyond. The food is unreal & the whole place is peaceful and tranquil! Cooking class is definitely a must & breakfast on the beach was just magnificent! I highly recommend the mee goreng, strawberry daquari & nasi goreng! The rooms are also beautiful, beds are comfy and the turn down service they provide in the afternoon is fantastic! Ive never stayed somewhere where they have a turn down service! The coconuts are also freshly picked from the trees and the seafood is also so fresh and delicious!

Located on the Sunset Beach with unique sunset views, PinkCoco hotel offers a sexy and relaxed environment combined with sweet tastefully designed rooms. PinkCoco offers special PinkCoco Restaurant and Beach Club and Night Cocktails in the largest lap pool on the island. PinkCoco is set for everyone who visit us to really " Live your Story ".
Pinkcoco is the best place to stay in Gili T. We spent 4 nights more than planned due to the location and the hotel service itself. They have their own chill area with service at one of the best beaches to watch the sunset and offer bike rental which takes you to the city in just a couple of minutes. great if you want to party but not be in the middle of the noise once you are ready to relax. The team was very helpful with arranging transportation and tips on what to do on the island as well. Highly recommend

The most peaceful and authentic resort on Gili Trawangan. We are located on the north part of the island and we have one of the longest beach (170 mtr),you will enjoy having a romantic time or dinner time facing the indian ocean. With only twelve villas on our fifteen thousand square meter property your privacy will be respected at any time during your stay.
We spent three nights at the resort and only wished we could have stayed longer. The location was perfect - quiet and beachfront. The facilities were superb, with a restaurant and relaxation area on the beach. The food was amazing - we ate there every night and most other meals too. Bicycles and snorkelling gear was available. Our bungalow overlooked the beach and the sound of the waves at night was blissful. The traditional style was perfect, yet it offered all amenities including a really comfortable bed and daybed on the verandah. Wifi was always available. What made our stay simply perfect though was the staff - they were welcoming and helpful - nothing was ever too much trouble and they organised everything that we requested efficiently and with a smile. We sure were sad to leave, but we will certainly come back for a longer stay as soon as we can. Thank you Desa Dunia Beda for the most peaceful and relaxing holiday we can remember!

Once upon a time there was an island kissed by the sun, with a cloak of fine white sand beaches and surrounded by pristine azure waters thriving with an abundance of marine life. Only a fairy tale? Not at all. You too can enjoy this tropical paradise. Our rooms embrace Gili Trawangan's rustic charm and tranquil island atmosphere that travellers have sought out for years. Set in tropical gardens they are the classic representation of island life with a hint of luxury.
My second trip to Gili T but last time stayed in a different hotel close by. Loved that location and the Pearl looked fabulous so chose it for this trip. It is definitely the best location on the island and probably the best hotel. Close to the centre but not too close. Wonderful beach front setting with good sun beds where you can order from the restaurant menu. Food served to your sun bed on real plates and drinks in real glasses. Same at the pool. Which is beautiful too (swim up bar). Or eat in the upstairs part of the restaurant looking out over the sea. They have a fantastic bakery (cheesecake is amazing) serving wonderful cakes and really good ice cream. Most of the food we had was very good. Drinks were really good. Breakfast is amazing, best of the trip We had an pool view room which was large with everything you need (great shower) including two bottles of water daily. But have to say was a bit tired (seems normal for Gili) and lacked charm. But the hotel, location, grounds and facilities more than made up for it.. Very friendly staff. Definitely stay here again. Beach was generally very clean until there was a high tide. Next morning the plastic on the beach was shocking. Guests did a beach clean amongst ourselves. Staff could be more involved. Whole island could do better in this regard. Love Gili T, so laid back, hire a bike and nip about. Everything sooooo cheap. Can’t wait to go back. (We are a couple in our 50s)

Wilson's Retreat is a small boutique hotel set on a gorgeous strand of white sandy beach on the quiet north coast of Gili Trawangan. The location at the far end of the island lends itself to peaceful, lazy days lounging in the sun waiting for the most amazing sunsets over Bali's volcano and quiet nights under the starlit sky.
We ate at Wilson’s several times. Great friendly service and a wide ranging menu in a perfect setting overlooking the Bali straights. It’s worth jumping on a bike for the visit which won’t disappoint. Service was friendly in an ideal setting.

Aston Sunset Beach Resort - Gili Trawangan is located on a gorgeous island paradise just off the coast of Lombok. There are 3 Gili islands: Gili Trawangan, Gili Meno and Gili Air. Guest traveling from Bali can easily reach Gili Trawangan using a fast boat from Bali’s Serangan harbor(1.5 hr ride) or Padang Bai Harbor (1 hr ride). Once arriving at Gili T’s harbor, its about a 30 min bicycle ride to the resort. Guest staying on Gili T can also easily do day trips to the other islands as they are all less than a 15 min boat ride away. The most stunning sunsets are seen from the hotel’s beachfront, attracting visitors all over the island. Catch an idyllic photo at one of the swings facing the ocean, or plan a snorkeling trip to see some of the aquatic wildlife. The island has beautiful blue waters are pristine with white sand. During low tides, guests can see some of the coral which is protected to preserve the island's original beauty.
It is a beautiful 4 star beach front hotel with best sunset view. We were upgraded to royal suite room, a wonderful room with private pool and garden with gazebo. Location is away from the loud night party and it had movie night every day by the beach.

Although a contemporary resort, we strive to retain the original features that are characteristic of Bali and Lombok. Set amidst tropical gardens, fronting onto the Lombok Straits, The Beach House reminds you of how Bali used to be. Enjoy all that The Beach House offers - the spacious and well appointed bungalows, villas or tree houses; a restaurant set in the sand at the edge of the water that features wonderful, fresh produce, a freshwater swimming pool with a bar and great sun-baking spots; and unbeatable service
What an amazing place !! Fantastic rooms, outside shower. Staff are so friendly. Beautiful pool overlooking the beach. Of course you need to try their amazing infamous night BBQ with an amazing selection of fish and meat and all you can eat salad bar. I wouldn't want to stay anywhere else on Gili T !!

The villa is styled in a minimalist concept, a clean collection of gleaming 10 white villas with the island's first and only square design serving as a perfect canvas to the emerald green trees and sapphire blue sky.All 10 "Villa Nero" rooms are identical and spacious decorated in natural wood, each providing modern interior blended with unique local culture.
While having our vacation on Bali, me and my boyfriend changed the plans and decided to explore Gili Trawangan and booked Vila Nero. And that was the best decision! The rooms are really clean and stylish, outdoor shower was super natural. Location was good - we could walk to the beach and were a lot of spa places/cafes around. There was also amazing pool at the facility. Breakfast was delicious with a great variety of food and drinks. The staff was super friendly, helping us with all the requests and providing best service. We have really warm memories of this place and we definitely be back! Thank you for making our stay amazing!

Stayed in Hotel Lumi for two nights travelling from Lombok. Hotel is situated about a 20min walk from the harbour or 5 mins in a horse dawn taxi, by the way there are no cars. This will cost about 100,000IDR. We had a great welcome from Ricky at the front desk and up graded to a Superior deluxe bungalow. Room is spacious and immaculately clean with good AC and bath room. Breakfast is self serve with great omelettes to order. Restaurant has a good all day menu and is reasonably priced. A must is the bikes. Lumi is a little way from some of the main spots and is quieter but supply a complementary bikes. You can cycle around the island in 30m and get to some great restaurants, snorkelling and diving sites. Coral beach is great for turtles in the morning. Ricky and the team run a great hotel creating a relaxed and value for money hotel.

We visited this hotel whilst doing a tour around Bali. There were a couple of little issues on our arrival but these were NOT related to the hotel but to our tour company. The Front Office Manager Rully was there straight away to sort them out for us and went over and above board to ensure our 3 day stay was absolutely perfect. The hotel itself has just reopened after the pandemic and all the staff, locals and businesses are doing whatever they can to endure the tourists have a fab time. Loved it! Great setting, great staff, wonderful visit!
