Finding true privacy on a small island can be a challenge. Gili Trawangan is famous for its vibrant energy, but for the luxury traveler, the goal is often to find a sanctuary *within* the excitement. A place where the walls are high, the pool is exclusively yours, and the service is invisible until needed.
We have curated a list of the finest private estates on the island. These are not hotel rooms; they are homes. Located primarily on the quieter northern shores, these villas offer the perfect balance: access to the island's dining scene, but with a retreat that feels miles away from the crowds.
-
1. The Beachfront Estate (North)
Sprawling over 1,000 sqm of beachfront land, this estate offers direct access to the best turtle snorkeling spots. The highlight is the 20-meter lap pool and a dedicated team of five staff, including a private chef.
-
2. The Coconut Grove Sanctuary
Set back from the beach in the middle of a coconut plantation, this villa offers unmatched privacy. The architecture is a blend of modern tropical and traditional Joglo. Perfect for honeymooners.
-
3. The Sunset Hill Retreat
Located on the only hill on Gili Trawangan, offering panoramic views of Bali's Mount Agung. It is the only villa on the island with an elevation advantage, ensuring a breeze even on the hottest days.
-
4. The Crusoe Eco-Lodge
For the eco-conscious traveler. Solar-powered luxury with bamboo architecture. The open-air bathrooms are a design marvel, allowing you to shower under the stars in complete privacy.
-
5. The Party-Proof Bunker
Soundproofed, high-walled, and opulent. Designed for those who want to be close to the central strip but completely insulated from it. Features a cinema room and a temperature-controlled wine cellar.
How to Arrive
Reaching these villas requires planning. The public harbor is chaotic. We strongly recommend booking a private speedboat transfer that drops you directly on the beach in front of your villa, bypassing the horse cart (Cidomo) hassle entirely.
