2 best hotels with villas in Gili Trawangan Island

Hotels with villas in Gili Trawangan Island are ideal for travellers who want privacy and space while still being within easy reach of the island’s main sights. Gili Trawangan is the largest and most visited Gili island, with a lively dive-and-sunset scene and a car-free feel—getting around is typically on foot or by cidomo (horse-drawn cart).

When you choose a villa on the island, you’re usually trading a busy shared-hotel lobby for a quieter, more restful base: think villa-style layouts, dedicated outdoor seating, and in many cases direct or near-direct access to the beach (making it easier to step out for sunrise walks or late-day swims). For landmark moments, Sunset Point is a well-known place to watch the colours change over the sea. You can also enjoy the island’s turtle-focused wildlife experiences via the Gili Trawangan turtle sanctuary.

Who villas suit: couples seeking romance, families or friend groups who want separate rooms (or extra living space), and guests who prefer a calmer “home-from-home” rhythm over a more social property. For location, many villa-style stays cluster around the main strip near the harbour for convenience, or along the quieter west/beach-access side for an easier transition into slower beach time.

In our bookable inventory, examples include Coral Flora Villa Beach Front (4★) for beachfront privacy, and Villas Samalama Gili Trawangan (4★) and Gili Joglo (3★) for travellers who want a villa feel without sacrificing access to the island’s core activities.
