Aquasale Villas Location
Gili Trawangan is an exotic destination and is located about 40 km East of Bali and West of Lombok, in the West Nusa Tenggara Province in Indonesia, and looks like what Bali was more than 50 years ago.
The island is located in an archipelago of three stunning islands such as Gili Air, Gili Meno, and Gili Trawangan, and it' s just a 10 minutes boat ride from Lombok. Gilis' each island features superb white sandy beaches, picturesque coral reefs, azure blue water, and multi-colored fishes.
Gili Trawangan is the most popular of the Gilis, the point of entry of this paradise island is the tiny jetty, where the daily fast boats from Bali and Lombok deliver an ever increasing flock of both travelers and affluent jet set types, looking for a different kind of tropical island experience.
It is a perfect spot to relax and unwind, also providing superb dive sites scattered around this particular area. It has been recognized as one of Indonesia’s top destinations for Scuba Diving and Snorkeling with a reputation for being the “Turtles capital of the world”.
Year round water temperatures average about 28 degrees celsius, often with infinite visibility, well suited to beginners and experienced divers alike. There are also numerous other activities such as canoeing, boating, fishing, wakeboarding, horse riding and cycling.
Dining is a major event on Trawangan with the top restaurants and cafes located on the North beach area, offering a selection of Asian and European cuisine and of course the freshest seafood and lobsters cooked at your own taste.
The evening continues on with numerous all-night-parties giving way to stunning sunrise over Mount Rinjani. It’ s still hard to resist the seductively slow and relaxed pace of life on the largest of the three islands, where cars and motorbikes are outlawed and the preferred method of transport is the humble bicycle or local Cidomo ( a small horse-drawn carriage).
Gili Trawangan is truly a paradise, no wonder why vacationers including honeymooners visit this amazing destination all year-round. However, the attractions are not just beaches, beyond that there are plenty of sightseeing options also available in the neighbouring island of Lombok, dominated by the magnificent Mount Rinjani, perched about 3500 meters above sea level, with activities like trekking, waterfalls and stunning Golf courses.
Trawangan has, over the course of the last year, emerged as a luxury destination in its own rights, thanks largely to the incredible beaches, its beautiful landscape of swaying palm trees and coconuts plantations and views of the charming towering volcano which becomes truly magical when twilight sets in.
Gili Islands are much popular among the westerners as well as travelers looking for a secluded island experience and that is the reason why top end villas have been springing up, and prices are rising fast. |
