This was our favourite bar, we came here every night for drinks. They have lots of seating area inside and on the beach, from all you can enjoy the different live music they have every night. Really recommend coming here after dinner for a few drinks, it gets lively from about 9:30-10pm.

We loved Gili M! We took the island hopper from Gili A and spent the day - waaay quieter than Gili A with loads of spots to lie in the shade and swim or snorkel, and enough places to stop for food or a drink. My highlight was lying on the beach getting massaged with freshly prepared aloe vera after a day in the sun whilst waiting for the return boat

6. Gili Trawangan Island
Overall Ratings
4.0 based on 2,460 reviews
The islands are a popular destination for tourists. Gili Trawangan is the largest and most popular of the 3 Gilis, thanks to its well-established infrastructure that preceded the other two islands in the group. Each island has several small resorts, usually consisting of a collection of huts for tourists, a small pool and restaurant. Most local inhabitants live on Trawangan in a township stretching along its east side just inland (which is also where most recent development is taking place). Automobiles and motorized traffic are prohibited on the islands by local ordinance, so the preferred method of transportation is by foot and bicycle or the horse-drawn carriage. The main coast near the harbour gets you closer to the ‘castaway’ style nightlife, while those on the secluded western shore offers peace and tranquillity for honeymooners and couples.

The Irish Bar has been part of the Gili Trawangan bar scene since it's infancy in 2000. It's a firm favourite with the islanders and visitors alike, offering a fun, relaxed and safe atmosphere to enjoy our paradise island. We always have great drink specials running and DJ's every night. We show a huge range of live sports on our big screen inside, or you can choose to watch them at the beach front bar if you prefer. Don't miss our weekly party night on Wednesdays when we open late and party hard.

Not a tourist attraction in itself as such but well worth the visit. You can learn all about the turtles and you could tell that the man running the place was passionate about helping the turtles. Allow yourself a little time and make sure you leave a generous donation as the sanctuary is not funded and relies on your support to continue its work.
