Smallest and quietest of the three Gili Islands off Lombok's northwest coast — car-free and motorbike-free (cidomo horse-carts and bicycles are the only transport). Most stays cluster on the east coast (sunrise side, near the harbor) or the south coast (sunset side). Same Indonesia visa story. The structural draws are car-free island geography, sub-Bali rents, and direct reef diving from the beach. The structural friction is logistical — power and internet are functional but not Bali-grade, and the only access is by boat from Lombok or Bali.
