Gili T: 48 Hour Travel Guide
Gili T is the largest of the Gili Islands, and a great base for spending a couple of days in the region. This handy travel guide features the top things to do in the Gili Islands, where to stay and what you just shouldn’t miss.
After the metropolis of Jakarta, adventure playground of Bandung, the temple land of Yogyakarta, and the untouched paradise of Raja Ampat, it was time for a few days in the Gili Islands. Several friends had been over the last few years and, rather than Bali, it sounded like this might be Indonesia’s hottest ticket.
REVIEW: Hotel Ombak Sunset, Gili T, Indonesia
Hotel Ombak Sunset provides a relaxed base for exploring the kooky island of Gili T in Indonesia, with its legendary sunsets, tasty food and famous Datu Swing.
My time on Gili Trawangan started not at Hotel Ombak Sunset but at its sister hotel – Vila Ombak. It was a smart complex of villas and deluxe rooms just moments from the hubub of Main Street. After a day checking out the hippie beach shops and lively nightlife I was ready to slow things down and head 15 mins by horse and carriage to the quieter side of the island.
Hotel Ombak Sunset’s reputation preceded it.
“The swing! You just have to go on the swing,” my friend Hazel said.
She’d visited earlier in the year, and like many tourists queued up for a photo on the swing at sunset. While there are a few swings located around the island, this hotel is home to the most famous one.
