Sandwiched between Bali and Lombok; Gili Trawangan is one of three gorgeous Indonesian islands that you have to visit.
Known to many as ‘Gili T’, it is becoming increasingly more popular to travellers, and I can see why.
Like most backpackers that visit, I stayed a lot longer than I had initially intended. Gili T steals your heart and soul. I’m not being cheesy, it really does! An unstable power grid and a road system that consists of no motor vehicles makes Gili T quite unique allows for a sense of escapism.
The F**king Food
Gili T has more than a handful of restaurants. However, the local market is the real show-stealer for flavorful dishes. Every evening a local market sells a wide selection of Indonesian food at cheap prices.
Eat there!
The F**king Ocean
My favourite thing about Gili T is the ocean. Undeniably beautiful to look it, what lies beneath is even better. Swimming between the sparkling surface and the heavily occupied coral foundation are Green Sea and Loggerhead turtles. I don’t know how many hours I spent snorkeling in the ocean of Gili T, but it wasn’t enough. I don’t think there is such a thing as enough.
The F**cking Party
Naturally, Gili T is full of people looking to have a good time. There is an area (near the food market I mentioned before) that has several bars that play good music and offer cheap drinks. Gili T even has its own full moon party every month.
The F**king Sunset
Ombak sunset viewpoint is located on the lesser occupied side of the island. The best seat in the house is definitely the swing that is positioned a few metres out into the ocean. I spent the majority of my evenings on this side of the island taking in the natural masterpiece.
The F**king Journey
In comparison to other transportation methods in and around Bali, the “speed boat” (you’ll have to experience it to understand the need for sarcastic quotation marks) to Gili T is not very cheap, but it is worth the effort, there is no excuse! GO!

I would love to spend a bit more time on Gili T. Walked all around the island and watched the sunset on the south east side of the island – a bit quieter than the main bit and so beautiful.

I’d love to visit Gili T. My boyfriend and I spent some time on Gili Air last year and couldn’t get over how beautiful it was!
And I’ve seen that swing in so many pictures… It’s become the swing of my dreams! One day, I will sit on that swing… One day. :]

Emma! You will! You definitely will!! ❤❤❤
There are also other swings beside that one, and one of them is hidden between trees just close to it. It’s beautiful too as it’s more private :’) I really hope you can make to Gili T and firstly sit on swing of your dream and find this swing as well!

They also have the dark moon party every month! I was there last August and went to one.
And totally agree with you in recommending the local night market for cheap local flavors
