Ombak Sunset Hotel

Ombak Sunset occupies a prime position on Gili Trawangan's western shore, offering traditional Lombok Lumbung (rice barn) style cottages that combine cultural authenticity with modern comfort. The resort's defining feature is its three-tiered infinity pool that cascades toward the ocean, creating one of the most photographed swimming spots in the Gili Islands. The pool area is the undisputed best place to watch the sunset on Gili T — Mount Agung in Bali and Mount Rinjani in Lombok both visible on the horizon. The Lumbung cottages feature high thatched roofs, wooden interiors, four-poster beds, and outdoor bathrooms surrounded by stone walls and tropical plants. Higher-category rooms have private plunge pools. Standard rooms start at IDR 1,200,000 per night, pool villas from IDR 2,800,000. The beachfront restaurant and bar are popular with non-guests as well, particularly for the sunset happy hour. Breakfast is hearty and varied with both Indonesian and Western options. The spa offers traditional treatments. Being on the west side means you are a 15-minute walk from the main strip — far enough for peace, close enough for convenience. The resort can arrange diving, snorkeling trips, and glass-bottom boat tours. Horse-drawn cidomos provide transport around the island.
