Gili Islands
Gili Islands, yet another paradise for scuba divers and honeymooners, has gained a lot of name and fame among travelers from all over the world. Gili Islands is an ideal destination for those looking for a place to spend time with their loved ones. White sandy beaches, tropical coral reefs, and warm inviting waters await you on Lombok's Gili islands. And, with no cars, motorcycles, or distractions other than beautiful tropical island scenery, the Gili islands off the northwest coast of Lombok are truly an ideal tropical getaway destination.
