Gili Trawangan
Trawangan is the largest and liveliest of the Gili islands, known for a beach party and bar scene that's louder than anything else in the trio, alongside genuinely good diving and snorkeling and a walkable perimeter road with a viewpoint hill on the island's south side. It draws a younger, more social crowd than Air or Meno.
Beyond the nightlife, the island has solid dive infrastructure with numerous PADI centers and easy access to reef sites and the chance to see sea turtles while snorkeling just off the beach — it's not purely a party destination even though that's its reputation.
