Tucked away in the turquoise waters just off the coast of Lombok, Gili Trawangan is a place where time slows down and nature takes the spotlight. There are no cars or motorbikes on this island—only the sound of waves, bicycles passing by, and the occasional gentle clip-clop of horses on sandy paths. It’s the kind of destination where families can truly unwind, reconnect, and enjoy experiences that feel both magical and grounded in the natural beauty of island life.
One of the most memorable ways to explore the island? Horse riding along the beach—a peaceful, safe, and unforgettable experience for all ages, including young children.
