Largest of the three Gili Islands off Lombok's northwest coast — car-free and motorbike-free (bikes and cidomo horse-carts only), with a denser nightlife scene than Gili Air or Gili Meno. The eastern coast (the harbor side) anchors the dense walkable core; the western coast is the sunset-and-quieter side. Same Indonesia visa story (E33G remote-worker, B211a tourist + extension chain). The structural draws are car-free island geography, dive-from-the-beach access, and sub-Bali pricing. The structural friction is the party-tourism culture, which dominates the main strip.
