Gili Trawangan is the largest of the Gili archipelago and the undisputed nightlife king, but its real draw is the 95% turtle-spotting success rate on a 30-minute snorkel at the north coast. This car-free island, 3km long, offers a density of beach bars and restaurants that is 20% higher than #3 Gili Air's, perfect for travelers seeking easy social buzz. However, it trails far behind #1 Mount Rinjani in terms of physical challenge and solitude. While Rinjani tests endurance at altitude, here you cycle sandy lanes and swim with sea turtles—a gentle reward after the summit's agony.
