Gili Trawangan is one of 3 islands that make up the Gili islands located near Lombok. It is not only the biggest but also the most popular of the 3.
My suggestion
Gili Trawangan is the island "reserved" for merrymaking youth from all over the world, especially Australia, but if the atmosphere does not suit you, go to Gili Air or Gili Meno instead, they are a lot more quiet.

Situated off the coast of Lombok and Bali, Trawangan is the most developed of the Gili isles. Its ambience is lively, family-orientated and it offers something for everyone.
My suggestion
To get away from the touristy part of the village, pack a snack and do a walking tour of the island where you'll find some lovely, deserted beaches. You can tour on horseback or by bike, but it's not the best way.
If we have loved the Island of Gods, the pearl of Indonesia, which has had such great tourist success for many years now, we can't deny that it is suffering for its fame. The environment is deteriorating year by year, mainly due to the plague of plastic which is everywhere and which the government does nothing about. Rubbish is not treated and the plastic remains.
Catch nature unawares as she wakes up...or at least that's what it feels like when you are on the wonderful 2,329 metre high Mount Bromo, on the east of the island of Java. An absolutely spectacular and unforgettable moment. If you don't appreciate nature then don't bother!
Flores and the Sunda islands in general are much less touristic that certain other destinations in Indonesia. Go there to enjoy an authentic adventure in the Indonesian archipelago.
A trip to Bali is a series of discoveries, spiritual, cultural, culinary and also of sports. Surfing is one of the attractive facets of the island. Bali with its varied beaches, of sand and of reefs, washed by warm turquoise waters, is a real surfing paradise. There are waves for all tastes and levels. So, hesitate no more and take the plunge!
