Gili Meno – Lombok – Indonesia
PHOTO GALLERY: Gili Meno Island – Lombok – Indonesia
I’ve landed in paradise!
A Robinson Crusoe-style white-sand island with thatched huts, no motorized vehicles, crystal-clear aquamarine seas, a fringing coral reef, ‘restaurants’ on sand and very few people.
At Gili Meno I’m simply surrounded by the soothing sounds of nature: gentle waves lapping the shore, a distant roaring ocean, wind rushing through pines and palms, birds, insects, cows, roosters and goats.
Ponies & carts (cidomo) provide Gili Meno’s only transportation. Their jingling bells warn of their slow aproach along the island’s sand roads.
Powdery-white sand beaches rim the entire island. Just offshore, below the glassy sea, are extensive coral reefs full of colorful marine fish and sea turtles.
Helpfully, Gili Meno offers a few modern ‘necessities’: electricity, internet access, and espresso coffee. That’s all I need!
To top it off, Meno has plenty of my favorite of all creatures: cats!
My perfect paradise, I do believe.
Please enjoy these 36 images of stunning Gili Meno… and start dreaming!

Boat sizes vary from cute little one-man fishing outriggers to large sampahs used as ferries between islands, which can easily hold 50 people or more. Then, of course, Meno’s boats also sport a wonderful rainbow of vibrant colors.If you’re intrigued by boats like I am, check out my photo collection of Gili Meno’s lovely boats.SEE FULL GALLERY And here are more photos of Gili Meno’s charms- Photo Gallery: Gili Meno Island———————————————————————————————————————————— /* /* Leave a Reply Cancel replyYour email address will not be published.Name:Email:Website:Message:You may use these HTML tags and attributes: <a href="" title=""> <abbr title=""> <acronym title=""> <b> <blockquote cite=""> <cite> <code> <del datetime=""> <em> <i> <q cite=""> <strike> <strong> […]
