Location
Beachfront location on the northern side of Gili Trawangan Island
Situated on the northern side of Gili Trawangan Island, Jambuluwuk Oceano Resort has a slightly quieter location away from the island's party scene on the southern coast. Cars and motorbikes aren’t allowed on the Gili Islands, so visitors can only get around by bikes, horse-drawn carriages (cidomos), or on foot -- the hotel allows guests free use of their bicycles. The property is located right on the North Beach, which is a popular spot for snorkeling on the island. There are a couple of restaurants within a close walking distance from the hotel, otherwise it's about a 15-minute cycle or 20-minute walk to the main action in the center of the island. It's a 10-minute horse-carriage ride from Gili Trawangan Port. For those flying into Lombok International Airport -- it’s about an hour- and 30-minute drive to the Lombok dock and a 15-minute boat ride to the Gili Islands from there.
