A sunset in Gili Trawangan is tough to miss, but certain locations stand out from the rest. One point is the highest point on the island, Gili Trawangan Hill, which offers a sweeping vista of the island. Another we recommend is Villa Almarik, which takes around 25 minutes to walk or a short bicycle ride to get to the hill, then another 10-15 minutes to get to the summit. Read on to find our best picks to experience a beautiful evening view of the island.
1. Deserted Sunset Restaurant
This restaurant that is closed down is just a short distance up Gili Trawangan Hill. There are lovely views from this former restaurant, and there is even a wooden platform for seating. Even if the views aren't quite as expansive as those from the top of the hill, they are still rather breathtaking.
2. Gili Trawangan Lighthouse
It is always peaceful at the lighthouse! However, this one is not for the weak of the heart. A daredevil's approach to getting to the greatest spot on the island for the sunset is to climb the Gili Trawangan Lighthouse. This massive lighthouse may be seen at the end of Jl. Kelapa on the island's northwest side. Although the ascent is somewhat intimidating, you must take a deep breath and move forward if you want to see the entire island.
3. Sunset Point
Most tourists head toward Gili Trawangan's southwest side every evening an hour or two before sunset. Though it might become a little crowded, sunset point is where the sunset vistas truly sparkle. Instagrammers are drawn to this location because it has several bars and overwaters swings. This place can give an edge to your social media handles. Although you might have to wait for a swing, there are many beaches where you can enjoy stunning views of Bali's Mount Agung.
4. Villa Almarik
You would love to stay on the oceanfront at Villa Almarik if you'd like a more tranquil beach. Even though it's on the island's eastern side, you can still enjoy a stunning display of sunset colours and avoid having to ride or walk back to your accommodation in the dark.
5. Sunset Cruise
The experience of being on the sea at sunset is unique. You may reserve one of the evening boats that round Gili T at sunset and return just before it gets dark if you'd like to see the island from a different perspective. It is one of the most romantic activities on the island, and this is also perfect for gatherings of family and friends to share a memorable experience.
6. Paradise Sunset Bar
Paradise Sunset Bar is one of the best spots for hanging out with loved ones and enjoying a fantastic view of the sunset in Gili Trawangan. The view from the bar is mesmerizing, and you can grab your meal and enjoy the view comfortably!
