Gili Meno
The smallest, least developed and quietest of the three islands.
Popular with nature lovers and honeymooners.
Highlights
Beach – With probably the best beaches in the Gili Islands especially on the northern end of the island.
The white coral sand beaches are relaxed and often you will get them almost to yourself. Paradise
Accommodation – There are options for most budgets although the number of upmarket hotels has increased recently
Nightlife – Much more sedate than the other Gili Islands but still enough life to keep you inhappy into the evening / night.
Food – There are a good selection of restaurants, many of these on the beachfront, offering a wide range of food with some exceptional seafood and BBQ. Don’t be put off by the rustic nature of some of the dining options, as the food can still be exceptional.
Things To Do
Gili Meno Turtle Sanctuary is a must visit on the island and, a certain times of the year, you can help to release a young turtle into the ocean.
Much of the coastline is perfect for snorkeling.

Gili Meno saltwater lake makes an interesting change of pace and scenery which is a wonderful location to see some incredible wildlife including lizards and birds
