Get Away to Gili Trawangan this Holiday Season

2020 may not have been a great year for traveling but within Indonesia there are still amazing options for travel over the holiday season. The Gili Islands are open and Villa Almarik, Gili Trawangan will be reopening on December 16th. Get ready for a Christmas and New Year to remember!

The easiest way to get to the Gilis is on one of the many fast boats from Bali. Over the past months, there have been very few boats going but from Nov. 7th 2 companies started up sailings 6 days a week. Eka Jaya is running Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Ostina on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. These boats will easily deliver you from Bali to Gili Trawangan in a little under 2 hours.

There are a number of reasons it’s actually the perfect time to travel to Gili Trawangan for the holidays. The islands have been massively affected by the Covid-19 pandemic, as tourism is their number one industry. Restaurants, bars, and hotels are more than ready to open and welcome you to enjoy the holidays on the beach. Your stay could help locals in need and give hope to the tourism industry on the islands.

You can also enjoy the Gili Trawangan of yesteryear. Christmas and New Year is usually one of the busiest times of the year. This year you will enjoy less crowded boats, whole beaches to yourself, and quite paths to walk or cycle on. It may be much less of a party atmosphere, but if that’s what you’re looking for, there’s no time like now to book.

Many of us staying long-term in Indonesia have been separated from our family and friends for months. Many would be getting ready to head to our home countries for the festive season. Without the option to travel easily this year, spending the holidays on the beach is a great option. The beauty of Gili Trawangan could help to take your mind off being away at this time of year.

For others, Christmas and New Year is a time to just get away from all holiday songs, present buying, and everything that comes along with the season. If this is you, what could be better than escaping to an island? White sand beaches, crystal clear water, and sunshine await you. There won’t be a fairy light or Santa hat in sight.

Whatever the reason, a trip to Gili Trawangan is always a good idea! It’s been a rough year. Book now and you’ll have a great trip to look forward to, ending this year with a beautiful memory of sunsets, swimming with sea turtles and lounging on quiet beaches.
