Trip Moments Recommendations
Not just Bali! We also recommend the car-free island of Gili Trawangan!
It takes 2.5 to 3 hours by ferry from Bali to reach Gili Trawangan!
(In some cases, the port is small so you may have to wait offshore for a long time!)
There are no cars or motorbikes, so transportation is by foot, bicycle, or horse-drawn carriage🫏
The island itself is not large, so you can get around in about an hour by bicycle!
The sea is so beautiful that you can see the sea turtles right there without snorkeling👀♡
As it is called a party island,
you can party at the pool at night🫧
listen to live music at a cafe, and watch outdoor screenings. It was an island where you could spend your time without getting bored!
If you want to relax in a quiet place, you can look at the sea!
(If you choose the right place, it's not dark so it's not dangerous)
The hotel I stayed at was very good and I was happy to spend time relaxing at the hotel!If you go to Gili Trawangan, I definitely recommend this hotel! (I stayed in a different room both days for 2 nights and 3 days!)
By the way, the pool and shower at the hotel are seawater!🪼
I thought it was water, so I went to sleep after soaking in it and got a terrible sunburn, so be careful! lol
📍Location: Pearl of Trawangan
💰Price per person: About ¥25,000 to 30,000/night
💞Reason for recommendation: All the staff were friendly and helpful!

[Lombok] Hotel Tug Lombok Accommodation Report
Location: Northern Lombok. 1.5 hours drive from Lombok International Airport. 15 minutes to the pier for the Gili Islands. We stayed here on our last day in Lombok. Rooms: Five-star resort hotel. In a word, it's another world. From the moment you step inside, you're drawn into the world of Tugu. The best space you can only experience here. Every experience is moving. We are greeted with a welcome drink of coconut juice. At the back of the hotel is a private beach. You can enjoy a cafe and meals on the beachside. The rooms are unique and spacious. Shower and bathtub included. Basic amenities are available. You can also enjoy coffee from a coffee plantation owned by the Tugu Group in your room. There is also a relationship with the cafe "Kawisari Cafe & Eatery" in Central Jakarta. I highly recommend you visit this cafe. Meals: There is a restaurant and bar in the hotel.
The food is sophisticated and will suit Japanese tastes.
Breakfast: You can choose your breakfast.
Service: Excellent service.
Facilities: Pool, spa, air conditioning in all rooms, Wi-Fi.

It instantly steals the hearts of those who visit.
I hope you will experience this excitement.

[Lombok] Sheraton Senggigi Beach Resort Accommodation Report
Location: Senggigi area, west of Lombok. 1 hour drive from Lombok International Airport. We stayed here while heading north to the Gili Islands. Room: Comes with a wooden deck leading to a courtyard full of greenery. Senggigi Beach spreads out beyond the courtyard. The room was clean, but the humidity was a bit of a concern. Basic amenities are provided. Food: There is a restaurant in the hotel. The Italian restaurant Lotus Bayview Restaurant is within walking distance of the beach and is delicious. 5 minutes walk. Breakfast: Buffet style. A wide variety of menu items. Service: Good service. Facilities: Pool, spa, Wi-Fi. Access: There are no convenience stores or shops nearby. It is best to arrange a car for the next day in advance. I negotiated with the driver I used on the way there. Although a ride-hailing app is available, there were no hits. Recommended points: Located halfway between Lombok International Airport and Gili Islands. We recommend spending a night in Senggigi while sightseeing. #Indonesia #Gili Islands #Gili Island Gili Trawangan #Lombok #Tropical Resort #Southeast Asia

[Gili Islands] Pink Coco Gili Trawangan
Pinkcoco Gili Trawangan is a hotel in Gili Trawangan.
This hotel is filled with pink and is very popular!
I went back after a few years and it had evolved!
You can stay overnight or just use the restaurant, but there were pink beanbag cushions and parasols lined up along the beach!
The bicycles at the hotel entrance were popular, but the bicycles for guests were also pink!
Pinkcoco is full of cuteness. It is a little far from the port, so try going by bicycle or horse-drawn carriage.

Skin Diving in the Gili Islands from Bali
The Gili Islands can be reached in about an hour and a half by high-speed ferry from Bali's port.
The most popular activity on these islands is skin diving (snorkeling).
There are several points of interest, such as the Lovers' Statues, underwater bikes, coral reef areas, and turtle spotting areas, but the most popular is the Lovers' Statues.
This underwater art is beautiful even when viewed from above by drone.
It seems to be getting more crowded year by year. The sea often becomes murky in the afternoon, so it might be a good idea to join a morning diving tour.
