Trawangan is the island people mean when they say “the Gilis”. It is the biggest of the three, it has the most places to sleep, the most places to eat, and the only stretch of bars that keeps going after the boats stop running. That is either the reason to come or the reason to take the next boat to Meno, and it is worth deciding which before you book.

What it is not is a resort strip. Motor vehicles are banned across all three Gili Islands by local ordinance, so the traffic on the sand track is bicycles, horse-drawn cidomo carts and people walking with bags. That single rule does more to set the mood than any hotel on this page.

How the accommodation splits

Trawangan has the widest price spread of the three islands, and the spread is genuinely useful rather than cosmetic. Around the US$30–40 mark you are in three-star territory on or just off the beach road — Royal Regantris Trawangan and Trawangan Oasis both sit there, and both score above 9 with more than 60 reviews each.

The middle of the market, roughly US$80–100, is where the beachfront four-stars live. Above that you are paying for a private pool: Kuno Villas is the clearest example, and at 9.7 across 47 reviews it is the highest-scoring property on this site.

Where on the island

Almost every address below is some form of Jl. Pantai Gili Trawangan — the coastal track that rings the island. That is not as unhelpful as it sounds: the harbour, the night market and the restaurants are all on the east side, facing Lombok, and the sunset beaches are on the west, facing Bali. East is convenient, west is quiet and gets the view that people book the island for.

Kuno Villas

9.7/10

Kuno Villas

Jl. Ikan Kima, Gili Indah, Kec. Pemenang, Kabupaten Lombok Utara, 83352 Gili Trawangan

4-star property · 47 reviews · from US$111

  • Pool
  • Villas
  • Diving on site
  • Breakfast praised

The highest score on this site: 9.7 from 47 guests, with every one of them rating the location and the breakfast. One- and three-bedroom private villas, refurbished in 2023.

Alexandra Beaumont

Alexandra's take

A bathtub set into the garden pond sounds like a gimmick until you're actually in it — if villas over hotel rooms is even slightly on the table, this is the one I'd pick.

Opened 2017, refurbished 2023

Pearl Sunset Resort

9.5/10

Pearl Sunset Resort

Jl. Pantai Gili Trawangan, Gili Indah, Kec. Pemenang, Kabupaten Lombok Utara, 83352 Gili Trawangan

Alexandra Beaumont

Alexandra's take

Adults-only on a coastal track this social took me by surprise — but the free yoga on the garden podium is the kind of small touch that tells you who this place is actually built for.

Nero North

9.4/10

Nero North

M26M+5V3, Jl. Pantai Gili Trawangan, 83352 Gili Trawangan

4-star property · 55 reviews · from US$91

  • Breakfast praised

Unanimous on the three things guests were asked about: every reviewer rated the location, the rooms and the breakfast positively. Open since 2019 on the coastal track.

  • 100% of guests called the rooms comfortable and spacious
  • 100% of guests were happy with the location
  • Picnic area, barbecue and garden
  • Review scores in the top 19% of nearby four-star properties
  • Airport pick-up available
Alexandra Beaumont

Alexandra's take

A hotel that gets 100% on three separate questions doesn't happen by luck — worth a look even without one standout gimmick to sell it.

Opened 2019

Trawangan Oasis

9.2/10

Trawangan Oasis

Gili Indah, Pemenang, Lombok Barat, 83352 Gili Trawangan

3-star property · 68 reviews · from US$36

  • Diving on site
  • Breakfast praised

The oldest property on this page, open since 2008, and still rated above 88% of the island for both cleanliness and service. Every reviewer who mentioned the breakfast was positive about it.

  • 100% of guests were impressed by the breakfast
  • Cleanliness rated above 88% of properties in the area
  • Service rated above 88% of properties in the area
  • Diving, snorkelling and horse riding on site
  • Free parking
Alexandra Beaumont

Alexandra's take

Open since 2008 and still out-scoring newer builds on cleanliness says more about how it's actually run day to day than any renovation date would.

Opened 2008

Pearl of Trawangan

9.2/10

Pearl of Trawangan

Pemenang, North Lombok Regency, 83355 Gili Trawangan

4-star property · 138 reviews · from US$83

  • Pool
  • On the beach
  • Breakfast praised

By the beach and within reach of the centre, the port and the night market, which is a rarer combination on Trawangan than it sounds. Open since 2009 and last refurbished in 2015.

  • 88% of guests singled out the breakfast
  • Poolside waterfall bar with sunbeds; private pool rooms
  • Balconies with ocean views
  • Cleanliness rated above 68% of properties in the area
  • Airport pick-up available
Alexandra Beaumont

Alexandra's take

Being able to walk to the night market and still fall asleep to the beach is the actual selling point here — the waterfall bar is a nice extra, not the reason to book.

Opened 2009, refurbished 2015

Royal Regantris Trawangan

9.1/10

Royal Regantris Trawangan

Jl. Pantai Gili Trawangan, 83352 Gili Trawangan

3-star property · 123 reviews · from US$32

  • Diving on site
  • Breakfast praised
  • Opened since 2021

The cheapest room on Trawangan that still has three figures of reviews behind it. Open since 2021, on the coastal track, and rated for cleanliness above four fifths of the properties around it.

  • Cleanliness rated above 81% of properties in the area
  • Service rated above 68% of properties in the area
  • Diving, snorkelling and horse riding on site
  • 21 guests specifically praised the breakfast
  • Free parking
Alexandra Beaumont

Alexandra's take

This is the one I'd point a budget traveller to first — three-figure reviews at Trawangan's lowest price on this page is a rare pairing, not a compromise.

Aston Sunset Beach Resort — Gili Trawangan

9.0/10

Aston Sunset Beach Resort — Gili Trawangan

Jl. Pantai Gili Trawangan, Gili Indah, Pemenang, North Lombok Regency, 83111 Gili Trawangan

4-star property · 189 reviews · from US$41

  • Pool
  • On the beach
  • Diving on site
  • Breakfast praised

The most-reviewed property on this site — 189 guest scores behind a 9.0 — and a four-star beachfront rate that starts at US$41. It looks west across the strait towards Bali.

  • 82% of guests singled out the breakfast
  • Swim-up pool bar; villas with a private soaking pool
  • Nightly beach movie screenings
  • Diving, snorkelling and horse riding on site
  • Beachfront buffet breakfast
Alexandra Beaumont

Alexandra's take

189 reviews at this price is the sample size that makes a 9.0 mean something — I'd trust this score over a flashier place with a dozen reviews and a nicer photo.

Opened 2011
