What Makes Gili Meno truly Unique

Gili Meno is a completely different rhythm of life, not just quieter than the others. Here are the things that are hard to find at other places:

  1. No Beach Clubs
    In Gili Meno, the sound of the waves, wind and birdsong are the main backsound for you. Not the EDM beats or the booming baseline.

  2. No Traffic
    Tired of roaring engines and honking scooters? No need to worry because there will be only sandy paths for you, passed through by walking, cycling or with cidomo, the traditional horse carts.

  3. No Crowds
    Dreaming about having  a private beach? Relaxing in Gili Meno where there are no crowds will help you make your dream come true.

 

Nature’s Sanctuary of Silence

Gili Meno also offers serene natural escapes other than the beaches, such as:

  1. The Saltwater Lake
    In the middle of the island, there is a saltwater lake where you can just watch the birds slide across the sky, sit quietly at sunset or just reflect on yourself without distraction. This lake is known to be one of the most peaceful spots of Gili Islands.

  2. Silent Pathways
    You could ride your bicycle through the whole island and it will only take one hour. During this moment, you could enjoy a leisure ride revealing coconut groves, quiet village atmosphere and hidden stretches of beach. With no rush and of course no deadlines.

  3. Private beaches and magical light
    As there are less tourists compared to Gili Trawangan and Gili Air, you could get the private beach vibes in Gili Meno. And bonus points are that in the east coast, you could get the sunrise view of Mount Rinjani, the highest mountain in Lombok while in the west coast you could enjoy the sunset without the crowds. What a dream!
