Aston Sunset Beach Resort - Gili Trawangan
What is this place?
Beachfront Resort – This is a resort located on the western side of Gili Trawangan , one of the three Gili Islands. It offers a range of accommodations, from rooms to villas, designed for a relaxing island getaway.
Why people come here
Sunset Views – Many guests choose this resort specifically for its prime location to witness the famous Gili Trawangan sunsets directly from its beachfront. It's a popular choice for those seeking a tranquil escape with direct access to the sea and a peaceful atmosphere away from the island's main harbor area.
What to expect
Relaxed Atmosphere – You can expect a serene and laid-back environment, often quieter than the bustling eastern side of the island. The resort typically attracts couples, families, and travelers looking for a comfortable stay with good amenities. The vibe is generally relaxed, with opportunities for swimming, sunbathing, and enjoying the natural beauty of the area.
What to do here
Water Activities – Here, I find that guests typically enjoy swimming in the resort's pools or the ocean, snorkeling directly off the beach, or simply relaxing by the shore. The resort's location makes it ideal for watching the sunset, and some may also arrange boat trips or diving excursions from here.
Practical info
Island Access – The resort is situated on the quieter western side of Gili Trawangan , which means it's a bit further from the main harbor where boats from Lombok or Bali arrive. Transportation on the island is typically by bicycle or cidomo (horse-drawn cart), as motorized vehicles are generally not permitted. The journey from the harbor to the resort can take around 20-30 minutes by cidomo.
Good to know
Western Shore – Being on the western side of Gili Trawangan means you'll experience a different pace than the more lively eastern strip. While it offers stunning sunset views and tranquility, accessing the main dining and nightlife areas on the east requires a short ride or a walk, which can be part of the island adventure.
