Gili Nanggu
About
Gili Nanggu
Gili Nanggu is a small white-sand islet off southwest Lombok (Sekotong area) — a classic stop on island-hopping day trips for easy swimming, snorkeling, and beach photos without the crowds of the northern Gilis.
Soft sand, clear shallow water, and short boat hops from the mainland make Nanggu ideal for families and first-time snorkelers. Most visitors combine it with nearby Gili Sudak and tiny Gili Kedis on the same private boat itinerary.

How to Get Gili Nanggu
Gili Nanggu is reached by boat from the Sekotong / southwest Lombok coast. A private day charter is the most comfortable way to visit Nanggu, Sudak, and Kedis together.
- From Senggigi, Mataram, or Bangsal, drive south/west to a Sekotong boat departure, then island-hop by private boat.
- From the northern Gilis, plan a separate southwest day (or multi-day) — it is a different coastline from Trawangan/Air/Meno.
- Share your hotel and group size — we arrange car + boat so transfers and snorkel stops stay flexible.
- Sea conditions on the southwest coast can change; captains choose the safest order of islands.
Experiences
Things to Do
Nanggu is a relaxed swim-and-snorkel stop rather than an overnight party island.
- Snorkel clear reefs and swim off the white-sand beach.
- Beach time, photos, and shade under casuarina / beach trees when available.
- Continue to Gili Sudak and Gili Kedis for sandbar swimming and more photos.
- Combine with west-coast scenery or a private Lombok land tour on a longer itinerary.

Location
Gili Nanggu sits off Lombok’s southwest coast in the Sekotong region — not one of the three famous northern Gilis (Trawangan, Air, Meno). It is typically visited as a day trip by boat.
Tell us your hotel and preferred pace and we will build a private Nanggu–Sudak–Kedis boat day with pickup from your stay.
