FYI, Gili translates as ‘island’ so you just effectively called the place Island Islands. It seems like a lot of tourists do this, but it’s inaccurate.
Beautiful place whatever you call it, Gili Trawangan is worlds of fun!
Thanks for the translation! Never knew that!
GORGEOUS!!!
Coolness. Can’t wait to get to the Gilis soon!
They are beautiful! (Lots of Swedish people there too!)
We visited the Gilis last summer and I fell in love instantly. If you’re ever heading back, stay at Marta’s…great two story rooms with breakfast and a lovely little pool. The owner, Joanna, came as a Scuba instructor and never left. She’s wonderful!
Wow this looks so pretty! I’m Indonesian but I’ve never been there myself, such a shame. Thanks for sharing this!
You should go! It’s beautiful!
Gili Islands are beautiful!! I loved more Gili Meno than Gili Trawangan, there you can really feel like you’re Robinson Crusoe!
