Gili Islands Entertainment

    Of all the party bars, this upper level venue has the largest dance floor and the meanest sound system - which pumps out trance and tribal sounds on Mondays. There's also a great outdoor terrace with views across the ocean to Lombok.

  2. Horizontal

    Adjacent to a gorgeous stretch of beach, this super-stylin' place offers a radically different take on drinking culture compared to the usual drinking dens in Trawangan. Primarily an al fresco chillout zone, but with terrific food, the cocktails are the best in Trawangan (try the raspberry margarita or Long Island ice tea). Also serves espresso and cappuccino coffee.
