You may think this is another one of the famous 3 - aka Gili Tarawangan, Gili Meno and Gili Air. You are wrong but in some way you are close.

Gili Gede (pronounced G'day!) is not part of the same group as the Gili Islands (despite the name), but rather lies in close proximity to the southwest coast of Lombok. The word "Gili" simply means "small island" in Indonesian. Gede is still very much a desert island, and as a result there are only a few options for accommodation on Gili Gede. This means that the best hotels on Gili Gede are the only hotels on Gili Gede as there is very little to choose from.

Gili Gede is free of traffic, with beautiful unspoilt nature, coconut palm trees, white sandy beaches and turquoise blue sea. On Gili Gede the small local population still make a traditional living building wooden boats and (pearl) fishing. Hardly any tourist developments have arrived on the island yet. This makes Gili Gede the region's freshest destination, featuring wonderfully secluded beaches and a thoroughly laid back vibe to enjoy at your leisure.
First at all you need some time to reach the island in the south of Lombok island - the neighbour island of the well known Bali in Indonesia

This is where the party is going on and whenever you like to see some more realistic island life Gili Gede is something to think about.

From the northern Gilis to the southern Gilis there is always a boat of a long trip through the main land of Lombok.
We took the bullet - a small but fast boat direct from Gili Air to Gili Gede

F#CK - This is easy - I love to travel again and I need to see lovely Indonesia again.
During my stay I spend a lot time snorkeling the the spots on top of the island are really nice and unspoiled.
