- Gili Trawangan is the largest of Lombok's Gili Islands. It is the only one to rise notably above sea level. It is 3 km (1.9 mi) long and 2 km (1.2 mi) wide. The island has a population of about 1000 people. Of the Gilis, Trawangan has the most tourist facilities. The pub Tîr na Nôg says that Trawangan is the smallest island in the world with an Irish pub. The most crowded part of Trawangan is on the eastern side. On Gili Trawangan (as well as the other two Gilis), there are no motorized vehicles. The main means of transportation are bicycles (rented by the people who live on the island to tourists) and cidomo (a small horse pulled carriage). For traveling to and from each of the Gilis, motorized boats and speedboats are used. Some of the first people to live on Gili Trawangan were from Sulawesi. They were fishermen and farmers. Before they came to Gili Trawangan, the island was covered in forest and deer lived there.The economy of Gili Trawangan centres on tourism. The island is too small to support large amounts of agriculture. It is also to far away from other places to be useful for either industry or commerce.
- Gili Meno is an island in Indonesia. It is the middle of Lombok's three Gilis.
It has population of about 300, mainly concentrated on the center of
the island. The main income of the population comes from tourism,
coconut plantation, and fishing. On the west side of the island there is
a small shallow lake that produces salt in the dry season. Until a few
years ago there was also a small production of seaweed
on the reef at the north end of the island. It has swimming beaches all
around the island, as well as an impressive bird sanctuary.

- Gili Air is the smallest of the Gilis and it's closest to the Lombok mainland, making it popular with honeymoon couples and travelers seeking a quiet retreat. It has population of about 1,000 and administratively lies in the West Nusa Tenggara province. The island offers excellent snorkeling and SCUBA diving off its east coast, and turtles can be seen along the coral reef.
