Divine Divers is located in the North West of Gili Meno whereas the main harbor is in the South East. Gili Meno as well as the two other Gilis have banned motorized transport. You get around by walking, cycling or per horse cart. Bikes can be hired either for an hourly or daily rate, the cidomo horse carts charge you according to distance and walking is of course free. Best is to agree on the price before you hire and friendly haggling always helps. Â Please expect a 20 to 25 minutes leisurely walk to get from the harbour to Divine Divers.
If walking or horse drawn carriages are not what you have on your mind, you can also charter a private boat for little money from either Lombok or the other two Gilis which will drop you off right in front of our sandy doorstep.
The Gilis (and Lombok) are serviced by many fast boats from Bali. Speedboats depart from Padang Bai, Nusa Penida/Lembongan (East Bali) and Serangan (South Bali near Sanur).
Some fast boat companies will pick you up from your hotel and transfer you to the departure harbor. Most companies offer various departures per day – one leaving in the morning and one around lunchtime.
Bangsal harbor in North West Lombok is the main getaway to the Gili Islands. The public (slow) ferries to the islands are very cheap and the trip takes 20 to 30 minutes.

There are also public fast boats that leave every hour.
Lombok International Airport (LOP) is located in Southern Lombok and is the go-to airport for domestic and international flights. From the airport it is a 1,5 to 2 hour drive to either Bangsal or Teluk Nara from where you can catch a public (Bangsal – 20-30 minutes) or speed boat (Taluk Nara – 150minutes) to Gili Meno.

It is easy to find Divine Divers on Gili Meno. We are located on the most beautiful sunset beach. Just follow the path through the center of the island for about 20 minutes (ok, it is a bit of a maze, best use google maps, hire a cidomo (horse card) or rent a bike.

Looking for a perfect holiday paradise? Then look no further. With its white-sand beaches and coconut palm trees the Gili islands are just that vision of paradise.
The three Gilis, namely, Gili Air, Gili Meno and Gili Trawangan are located off the north west coast of Lombok and are relatively easily accessible from both Lombok and Bali. Each island has its distinct personality. Â
The Gilis offer some of the best snorkeling and diving possibilities in the region and you’ll forever be surrounded by the key element that makes the Gilis Islands an unbeaten tropical paradise. Island hop the three or chose one – you wont regret either.
Gili Meno is known for its relaxed and serene beauty away from the other two island’s.
The smallest and quietest of the three Gilis, Meno arguably has the best beaches of the lot – imagine white sand scattered with palm trees, fringed with crystal clear water. Gili Meno has a population of only around 500 locals. The interiour of the island is mostly palm trees surrounded by grass.
The main village is located on the eastern side of Gili Meno where you will also find the the tiny harbour alongside some accommodation options, restaurants and the doctor’s clinic. After the earthquake the west side of Gili Meno has seen more development.
You can’t always influence the time your employer let’s you go on holiday and if you have children in school, you are pretty much dependant on school holidays. Overall, the Gili Islands are a great destination to visit all year round. Compared to Bali and Lombok the Gilis experience less rainfall but the rainy season is of course noticeable on Gili Air, Gili Meno and Gili Trawangan. The dry season runs from April to the end of October with the peak season being July and August. A large number of tourists visit the islands during these two months. However, Meno usually doesn’t get as busy as the other two islands so you are pretty sure to still have a super relaxing holiday.
The Gili’s are largely powered by an undersea cable from Lombok. Gili Meno as well as the two other Gilis experience power cuts at times especially when the demand is high.
Our generators provide electricity for the fridges to ensure an uninterrupted cooling chain and for the lights in your room. The power cuts don’t usually last long and they provide a perfect opportunity to use the time, look up from a screen and talk to each other.
Our sockets are made for European plugs. Coming from other parts of the world you will need to bring an adaptor. Or simply ask us, we have a few to lend.
Gili Meno has a health center which is located near Divine Divers. Only 800 meters further on Gili Trawangan you’ll find several 24-hour clinics. The doctors on Meno and Gili T can deal with minor injuries, medical problems and can prescribe certain prescription drugs.
The International hospitals in Mataram offer an excellent standard of service.
The hyperbaric chambers are located in Mataram (1 hour)Â and in Tanjung (20 minutes).
Overall, there isn’t much crime on the Gilis. However, no place on this planet is 100% free of it.
Petty crime does happen, very, very rarely but it does. Therefor the same applies as anywhere else in the world: do not leave valuables in your room. Our rooms do have a safety box so please leave it there or you can also store it in our safe at reception.
There is one ATM machine on Gili Meno. In case it is not working usually it helps to just wait a day or two.Â
Divine Divers (and many other places) accept visa and mastercard payments. Please be aware that we have to add 3% additional bank fees to all credit card payments.
Since we are in in the 21st century we do accept PayPal payments, google pay, apple pay but of course also the old fashioned cash and bank transfers.
If you are a party animal and want to boogie into the early morning hours then Gili Trawangan is your place to go – the biggest of the three Gilis is famous for its legendary parties. Gili Air and Gili Meno are far more sedate but not boring.
You’ll find plenty of beach bars, cafes and of course life music at Gili Meno. You’ll get to know like-minded people from around the world while enjoying a cool drink and a relaxed atmosphere.
If you don’t’s want to miss out on the fullmoon parties, then Gili T is only an 800-meter boat ride away an easy to reach for a night out while still enjoying quiet days on secluded white sandy beaches.
Gili Eco Trust is an NGO based on Gili Trawangan. It was founded in 2002 to protect coral reefs around the Gili islands from destructive fishing such as dynamite fishing and the effects of coral bleaching. The Gili Eco Trust has grown and expanded its activities from marine conservation to waste management and sustainable eco-tourism. In 2004, Gili Eco Trust started the Biorock project. The creation of artificial reefs and restoring the natural habitat of thousands of fish in previously destroyed and overfished areas of the reef.
Indonesia is the biggest muslim country in the world. Most people are mistaken by Bali and its Hindu religion but most of Indonesia, including Lombok and the Gili Islands comprise a large muslim population who are just as welcoming and accepting of tourists.
The daily calls for prayers can be heard across Gili Meno from the local mosque. If the wind blows over from Travangan you might even hear the mosques from there at times.
Our Indonesian friends and neighbors are totally aware and understand cultural differences but please be respectful and don’t go shopping in the local village only wearing a bikini. Topless bathing is frowned upon. Actually it is prohibited by law so please accept the tan lines as a souvenir from paradise.
As in many places all over Asia, please don’t point at someone or something with your feet and use your right hand when taking something that is handed to you.
If you see shoes at the entrance of a house, a shop, or any other place, please also remove yours – even if it is only fipflops.
And finally, don’t get angry, try to solve problems with a smile.
Water is scarce on the islands and is supplied by desalination plants, underground or the rain. Please be conservative with water anywhere on the islands. Take shorts showers and let us know when your bed or towels need changing. Tap water is not suitable for drinking but bottled water is cheap and readily available. Please refill your bottles at refilling stations rather than buying new ones to also avoid plastic waste.

You won’t find dogs on Gili Meno or any other of the Gilis. Much to the delight of the cat population, dogs are not permitted on either of the islands.
In the village and around you will find chickens, goats and cats roam around as well as grazing cows in the shade of coconut trees.
Geckos are endemic in Indonesia and you will see and hear them in and around pretty much everywhere. Geckos are small lizards and they are totally harmless.
Against rumors, Gili Meno is NOT mosquito island. The beautiful lake on the island consists of brackish water and is not suitable for mosquito reproduction. Gili Meno has the same number of mosquitoes as Gili Air and Gili T do:Â a usual amount for a tropical island. They become active in the twilight hours. Light and long clothing helps, so does mosquito repellent which is available as coils, spray, stickers or bracelets.
