[2025 Gili Trawangan Stay] Travel Guide for Aston Sunset Beach Resort - Gili Trawangan (Updated Jan)

#Overseas travel #Bali travel #Gili Trawangan #Unique travel This is a unique travel destination in Gili that only I want to know about I moved the resort to a quiet place on the other side of Gili Port, and luckily discovered an outdoor movie theater while wandering around! It's a place that doesn't come up often even when I search blogs~ I really like watching movies, so I sometimes watch movies while traveling. An outdoor movie on the beach🫢 I couldn't just pass it by. They show different movies every day. The day I went was Top Gun Maverick I had already seen the movie before coming to Bali, but Maverick was fun to watch again (Tom Cruise's face)~ so I couldn't pass it up This place with a screen on the beach is a place where they have a movie night at a restaurant in a resort. So you can lie on a beanbag and watch a movie, and instead of paying for the movie, you can order a simple dinner My favorite beer🍺 and a movie📽️ and stars🌌 in the night sky Totally romantic japchae… It was a perfect day in Gili😘 🍯Tip｜It's a little chilly at night, so bring a thin cardigan It's good to go early, settle down, order a beer, and watch the sunset Since you lie on a beanbag without steps, if you go late and sit in the back, you might end up looking at the heads of the people in front of you more than the movie..👥 📍Location｜Aston Sunset Beach Resort 🎞️Showtime｜Two times at 7pm and 9pm 💰Price｜Binhtang + shrimp & french fries around 24,000 won

Gilli Trawangan or Gilli T is one of three gili islands just off the coast by Lombok, but they are also accessible from Bali, which is where we took the boat from. One morning I wandered off down to the port at Pandangbai and started chatting to some locals in a cafe/bar. They recommended that I head to Gilli T and helped me get a ticket for the ferry. It was significantly cheaper buying it at the port than online. I had a few hours until the boat departed so packed a few essentials and booked an unbelievable hotel for a very affordable rate. (Aston Sunset) We set off from the port in Padangbai on the ferry and had a few beers on the deck as the boat took around 2 hours. Once we arrived on the island, into the main bar area and port, we jumped off and headed through the middle of the island on foot passing by the locals houses (you could also walk around the beach path), but there are no cars, only bikes and horses. The hotel was perfect for relaxing in as it had a beachfront restaurant, secluded pool, friendly and helpful reception and lots of local seafood restaurants nearby. Food!!! For those that like seafood this is paradise, huge prawns, fresh fish and simple salads were what they were catching and selling in the restaurants. the tables and beenbags were placed along the waterfront so you could watch the pink sunsets. Ok I saved the best for last. On Gili Trawangan you can head out to see sea turtles, there are boat tours that will drop you off above the turtles for an easy find or you can rent the gear and swing out from the beach. I'd recommend only swimming out like this if you are a strong swimmers as it took me almost an hour swimming against the tide to get back in. This is a spot I will return too!!! Seafood 🦞 sunsets 🌅 Turtles🐢
