Gili Trawangan is an island of many contrasts. Spectacular scenery and warm ocean waters, are the setting for the most peaceful of retreats. The island has banned all cars and motor bikes so it really is a tranquil paradise. Yet after sunset the island hosts some of the best nightlife in Lombok. Visitors enjoy the spectacular sunrises over Lombok's Mount Rinjani volcano and breathtaking sunsets that illuminate Bali's towering Mount Agung volcano.  With the warm hospitality of the Gili Trawangan locals present all year round, it's not surprising that most visitors end up staying longer than originally planned.
