 Gili Meno is the middle and the smallest island of the three Gili island on the north coast of Lombok, and also Gili Meno has the lowest population. Gili Meno is the quitest island than the others Gilis.
The natural beauty of the islands and the peaceful, relaxed atmosphere make this a lovely spot for stress relief. The island just beginning developped it's shown from few new accommodation built on the west part of the island. The pace is a much slower with the laid back charm of a true castaaway tropical island experience. The accommodation are limmited, small hotels and basic beach side huts provide accommodation for those seeking a peaceful place in the sun, with unspopulated beaches, clean waters and quite walks under the stars filled skies at night.

The Island can be reached in 30 to 40 minutes by outrigger boat from
Bangsal harbor, near by Pemenang, and 1 hour by
outrigger boat from
Senggigi Beach. There is a few alternatives to get Meno. Sometimes public boat from Bangsal harbor could be problem because the passenger list should 20 person at the ticket counter, otherwise you have to charter, most likely the public boat goes to Gili Air and Trawangan. what you can do is try to look other travelers that you can share cost for the boat charter. if you have no option, rather than charter boat, we recommended to stay one night at Gili Trawangan or Gili Air and next day you can take island hoping boat to Gili Meno, its leave twice a day at approximately 9:00am and 14:00 pm.
