22 Best Boutique Hotels on the Gili Islands: Gili Meno, Gili Trawangan & Gili Air

These are the 22 best boutique hotels on the Gili Islands that you want to know about

Gili means "small island," and there are more than 30 gilis around Lombok. The three most famous are Gili Meno, Gili Air, and Gili Trawangan. Gili Trawangan is the largest island in the archipelago, and it's where you'll find the most restaurants, beach clubs, and bars. Gili Meno is much smaller than Gili Trawangan, making it much quieter. This island is the perfect place to relax! Gili Air is even smaller than Gili Meno, and it's also a wonderful place to unwind. But where should you stay during your trip to the Gili Islands? This list of the 22 best boutique hotels on the Gili Islands will definitely help you decide!

You can make your vacation as expensive as you like. Stay in a super-luxury resort, but a budget-friendly hotel is also an option. The cheapest hotel on this list, for example, costs just €53 per night!

We've personally stayed in several of the hotels on this list, and we've heard such good things about the rest that they definitely deserve a spot on @yourlbb's list.

HAVE FUN PLANNING YOUR VACATION TO THE GILI ISLANDS!
