Hostels
Where most first solo trips start, and where meeting people costs no effort.
- Mad Monkey Gili Trawangan
The female dorms have lockers and air conditioning, and the staff consistently make solo arrivals feel settled from the start. The description is upfront: quiet hours are not this hostel's strength.

Hotels and guesthouses
A door of your own.
- Pearl of Trawangan
Features outdoor pools with poolside bar and restaurant directly on the beach.
Hotel · 4.5 from 2,121 - Hotel Lumi Gili Trawangan
Reception open 7am to 10pm daily; the main pool has been under repair.
Hotel · 4.6 from 1,134 - Tipsea Turtle Gili Air
One woman came back after three weeks away, which tells you something. Staff hand out local knowledge freely, and the daily activities mean you are not eating breakfast alone on day one. No specific catch surfaces in the reviews.
Hotel · 4.8 from 237 - La Cocoteraie Ecolodge
Solo women single out this ecolodge for sitting well away from Gili Trawangan's party strip, in a quiet coconut grove. The reviews are thin on specifics beyond that, so finer detail on staff or evening access is hard to confirm.
Hotel · 4.8 from 222 · about $37 a night - Molah Gili VillaHotel · 4.7 from 121
