Budget
Balenta
This is a great value place if you do not mind being a little away from the action. Very quiet spot overlooking a nice stretch of beach.
Oda's Cafe & Bungalows
Oda's has only two bungalows, so neighbours won't be bothering you a lot. Nice staff, price includes breakfast. No fresh or hot water available. You can rent snorkelling gear for Rp 25,000, and this is really close to the best place to start snorkelling.
Quiet Water
This is another popular budget haunt. The rooms are well appointed with A/C and your very own DVD player.
Pondok Lita
Super clean fan-cooled room with western bathroom. A great safe and friendly place all in a gated garden and in a central location. A favourite choice of budget visitors and they get a lot of repeat custom.

Top end

Desa Dunia Beda Beach Resort
Beachfront resort with wooden Javanese joglo-style bungalows arranged around a large communal pool. Located just about as far away from the action as you can get and still be on Trawangan. A great choice for those seeking some solitude. Quite deliberately, no A/C and no TVs.
Vila Ombak
The first international standard hotel on Gili Trawangan. Features the traditional building style of Lombok. Has a fully fledged dive school attached.
Baruna Villas
Newly built, traditional design, family run villas near the main beach offering privacy and 4 star standard accommodation. Has a fresh water pool and fresh water showers in each bathroom.
Balinese-style luxury villas have started to pop up on Gili Trawangan. They have not yet quite got standards of service right, so although you will be paying up serious dollars to stay at some of these places, be aware that the service might disappoint a little. High end private accommodation is still a relatively new thing on Trawangan, so it is only to be expected that it will take some time to get things right.
Luce dâAlma Resort & Spa
Italian owned and managed 4 star hotel is one of the newest kids on the block. They have just 16 large rooms, which are arranged nicely around a central pool. The rooms are well appointed with quality furniture. Facilities include a spa & jacuzzi, gym and Italian restaurant. About 10 min walk from the beach in a quiet, rural setting.
