Gilis
 From Bali, cross to the west coast of Lombok to find a tiny magical island called Gili Air. Once there, Coconut Cottages would like to warmly welcome you to this tropical paradise. Surrounded by clear blue water, coral reefs and colorful tropical marine life, Gili Air is the perfect place for you to relax and chill out on white sand beaches and get back in tune with nature strolling barefoot along the waters edge. The long days with blue skies and warm evenings with epic sunsets are here for you to rejoice in. There are no cars or motorbikes on the island... only the sound of birds calling, waves lapping and the tinkling bells of the horsecarts.
Gili Air is the closest of the Gilis to the Lombok mainland, and it is also the smallest island making it popular with honeymoon couples and travellers seeking a quiter way of life. It has population of about 1,000 and administratively lies in the East Nusatenggara province. The island offers excellent snorkeling and diving off its east coast, and turtles can be seen along the coral reef. |

 Gili Meno, the middle island, the smallest of the three Gili's and it is the quietest with fewer tourists. A great escape for honeymooners or someone who wants to get away from it all. It has population of about 300, mainly concentrated on the center of the island. The main income of the population comes from tourism, coconut plantation and fishing. On the west side of the island there is a small shallow lake that produces salt in the dry season.
The natural beauty of the islands and the peaceful, relaxed atmosphere make this a lovely spot for stress relief. Some Villas have the accommodation for your holiday right in the centre of all this. These islands are renowned for diving and Blue Marlin Dive is located right next door to our villas. Hire or bring your own snorkelling gear because the fish and coral are wonderful. The island is a coral atoll so the sands are almost pure white and the water is varying shades of aqua and crystal clear. |

 Gili Trawangan, the most popular among the three Gili’s. Just kick back and enjoy the sun, nightly beach parties and sea. The main stripe is full of accommodations, restaurants, and dive shops. If you are seeking a quieter place to stay there are bungalows in the north. This Island is also known as "Party Island", where mostly young European find themselves "Lost In Paradise". With spectacular sunrises over Lombok's Mount Rinjani volcano and breathtaking sunsets that illuminate Bali's towering Mount Agung volcano, together with warm hospitality of the Gili Trawangan residents, it's not surprising that most visitors end up staying longer than originally plan.
Gili Trawangan is the largest of Lombok's Gili Islands and is the only one to rise significantly above sea level. It is 3km long and 2km wide with a population of about 1000. Of the Gilis, Trawangan has the most tourist facilities; the pub Tîr na Nôg claims that Trawangan is the smallest island in the world with an Irish pub. The most crowded part of Trawangan lies on the eastern side. |
