FAQs
Can I Use The Outdoor Swimming Pool While It’s Raining?
You can generally use the outdoor swimming pool on Gili Meno even when it’s raining. However, if there’s thunder and lightning, it’s best to leave the pool (and the sea, if you’re in there). While it’s unlikely, lightning can strike the water, so safety should always come first.
If your hotel has any concerns about swimming during rainy weather, they’ll likely ask you to exit the pool.
How Long Is Gili Meno Beach?
Gili Meno Beach stretches for about 5 kilometres, offering plenty of space to enjoy its pristine sand and crystal-clear waters.
Whether you’re looking for a peaceful spot to relax, swim, or walk around the island, Gili Meno is a great tropical beachfront getaway.
Can I Swim From Gili Meno to Gili Trawangan Island?
Technically, yes, you can swim from Gili Meno to Gili Trawangan, but we really wouldn’t recommend it, it is extremely dangerous, even for the most experienced swimmer.
The distance between the two islands is around 1.5 kilometres, which might not sound like much, but there are strong currents in the seas of the Lombok region.
If you’re feeling adventurous, stick to snorkelling off Gili Meno’s beaches or take a short boat ride to one of the other Gili islands, such as Gili Trawangan, which is also a wonderful island, though much busier.
Is Gili Meno Safe?
Yes, Gili Meno is safe; it’s a small island community, and everyone knows everyone. If you’re worried about your belongings, then most hotels located in Gili Meno come with a safety deposit box.
Do The Hotels In Gili Meno Come With Free Private Parking?
No, the hotels in Gili Meno do not come with free private parking, because it is completely unnecessary…there are no cars and motorcycles located in Gili Meno, Gili Trawangan, nor Gili Air, so there would be no need for free private parking, or any private parking for that matter!
What are the three Gili Islands?
The three Gili Islands, from east to west, are Gili Air, Gili Meno, and Gili Trawangan. All three are in the Lombok region of Indonesia, just off the northwest coast of Lombok Island, overlooked by the towering Mount Rinjani. Most visitors travel through Bali as opposed to Lombok International Airport.
Gili Trawangan is by far the most popular and lively, being the largest and home to a decent nightlife scene. Many travellers also come here for the Turtle Conservation Gili Trawangan project.
Gili Meno is the quietest of the three. Often called the romantic island, it’s known for its peaceful atmosphere, pristine beaches, and great snorkelling, especially around the famous underwater statues just offshore.
Gili Air strikes a balance between the two: a chilled-out local feel, with just enough bars and cafes to keep things interesting. It’s popular with backpackers and digital nomads.
Final Thoughts On Hotels In Gili Meno
Gili Meno offers various accommodations, from luxury hotels with stunning ocean views to private villas that provide a relaxing escape. Whether you’re after an outdoor swimming pool, free WiFi access, or a private beach area, there’s something to suit every need.
