Explore the Tranquility and Turtle Conservation
We told you about Gili Trawangen earlier, and briefly mentioned there are two other islands nearby. We wanted to save telling you about one of them, to give it its own write up. Gili Meno Island, a serene and captivating island off the northwest coast of Lombok, Indonesia, offers a peaceful getaway for those seeking a slice of paradise. Just a boat ride away, Gili Meno is easily accessible and is a must-visit destination near Sunset Springs Beach Retreat.
One of the notable attractions is the Turtle Farm, a sanctuary dedicated to the conservation and protection of sea turtles. The farm provides a safe environment for the turtles to grow before being released into the open waters. Visitors can learn about these incredible creatures and witness their journey to maturity.
But the island is not just about the Turtle Farm; it also boasts beautiful beaches and crystal-clear waters. Snorkeling, diving, and island hopping are popular activities that allow visitors to explore the vibrant marine life and stunning coral reefs. The island’s serene atmosphere and idyllic beaches make it a perfect spot for relaxation and unwinding.
To reach Gili Meno Island, guests can take Jalan Raya Senggigi to Teluk Nara, which is approximately 20 km. From Teluk Nara, take a boat or ferry to Gili Meno Island. There are public boats available for transportation to the Gili Islands, with the journey taking about 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the weather conditions and the type of boat!
We highly recommend taking the time to visit this wonderful place. Gili Meno Island is a serene and picturesque destination that offers a memorable experience for visitors. With its Turtle Farm, stunning beaches, and opportunities for water activities, it is a place where tranquility and nature intertwine. Easily accessible from Sunset Springs Beach Retreat, Gili Meno Island awaits those seeking an unforgettable island escape.
