Aston Sunset Beach Resort

Aston Sunset Beach Resort is one of the biggest hotels on Gili Trawangan, on the west coast where the island's sunset beaches are. It is far quieter than the east-side harbour area, and the sunset views across the strait to Bali are the main draw.

Accommodation ranges from standard rooms to one-bedroom villas with private pools. There is a large communal pool, a beachfront restaurant with a mix of Indonesian and Western dishes, a movie bar and an outdoor cinema with daily screenings that are free for guests. It is one of the few properties on the island with full resort facilities, which makes it a practical option for families.

Guests highlight the warm, attentive staff and good value for a resort of this standard. The village is around 20 minutes' walk or a short ride away, and the resort can help arrange bicycles and transfers. Book direct through the Aston website or by email.
