La Cala Beach Club

La Cala Beach Club sits on the east beach of Gili Trawangan, a short walk north of the harbour. It mixes a restaurant with a lounge: you can eat at a table with your feet in the sand or spend the afternoon on one of its good-quality sunbeds facing the sea.

The kitchen covers breakfast, lunch and dinner, with grilled meat skewers, salads, burgers and a charcoal barbecue focused on seafood in the evening. There are vegetarian and vegan options, decent coffee in the morning, and a list of signature cocktails. Reviews often mention fast, friendly service and good happy-hour deals. It is rated 4.8 on Google on its own site.

It opens daily from 08:30 to 23:00. Reservations are not essential, but booking a table or sunbed by WhatsApp is sensible in peak season and for sunset. It is a convenient stop before or after a dive or snorkel trip from the east beach, and the menu is on the website if you want to check prices first.
