https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/4810774
Review: “This villa was the perfect haven for our 2-week honeymoon. We loved how private and quiet it was. The villa was beautifully decorated and equipped with everything we needed. For anything else, villa staff were available 24/7 to assist. The villa is in the perfect location: in the quiet part of the island, but still only an easy 10 minute bike ride to the main strip of shops, or a 10 minute ride to the sunset side of the island. It’s only a 2 minute walk to the beach and there is excellent snorkelling right nearby. From the time of our booking, Rien was very communicative and organized any transfers we needed leading up to our stay (driver on Lombok, private speedboat and horse and cart on the island). The villa staff, Yanti, Habibie and Ilham are truly wonderful people who made our stay even more comfortable. They were always helpful, happy, friendly and kept the place spotless. Yanti is an amazing cook and made us delicious and interesting breakfasts to look forward to each morning. She even made us some local food for dinner for our last night! She is also an excellent massage therapist and did our laundry immaculately. We could not recommended this place more highly, we had a perfect trip and can’t wait to come back.”

Indonesia Travel Guides & Insurance
Whenever I travel anywhere, I love having a copy (or Kindle version) of the destination I’m going. I’m always surprised at how helpful they can be, and this Bali & Lombok Lonely Planet Guide are my top picks.
While I never travel anywhere without booking a travel insurance policy, this is absolutely essential for all visitors to Bali!
So I’ll repeat…
Please, do NOT visit Indonesia WITHOUT Travel Insurance!
It’s unfortunately all too common that people come to Indonesia, get into a scooter accident, and end up needing a lot of medical attention! This, as you can imagine, is not cheap, and while the Bintangs and good vibes are, don’t expect medical treatment as a foreigner to also be great value!
I highly recommend HeyMondo due to their extensive range of cover for all situations and trip lengths, their fair pricing, and their handy app which allows you to not only manage any claims within the app, but also access free assistance online so you don’t need to rack up an expensive phone bill while in Indonesia where the charges are steep!
So, whether you need a single trip cover for two weeks in Bali, or an affordable annual cover for multiple trips worldwide, be sure to buy your travel insurance before you travel, and relax during your trip knowing that HeyMondo has your back. Nowadays I would never travel without insurance again, especially after hearing so many of those (expensive and dangerous) horror stories from other travellers I’ve met!
Thanks for reading about my favorite Gili Trawangan Villas!

All look awesome buddy but Villa Luna grabs my attention, big-time dude. I love those authentic places that make me feel like I’m in Indonesia. That place checks all marks. We usually stay in Indonesian style homes in Bali and would do the same on these islands too. Genuine feel to the trip if you spend time in one of these haunts.
