Sama-Sama Reggae Bar is one of the most iconic nightlife spots on Gili Trawangan. Located almost at the water’s edge, it draws locals and travellers alike with its relaxed island vibes, reggae music and late-night party energy. The bar often comes alive around 8 pm and stays open well past midnight, making it a favourite gathering spot for those looking to unwind or dance under the stars.
The atmosphere here is friendly and informal. You’ll find a mix of live bands, DJs spinning reggae and island music, and people swaying to the beat on the sandy floor. The drinks menu is broad, with cocktails, beers and happy hour specials that many guests praise for being affordable. Some evenings there are themed parties, special events and late night jams, keeping the mood vibrant and festive.
Because Sama-Sama is close to the harbour and main paths of Gili Trawangan, it’s easily accessible on foot. Its prime location and legendary reputation have cemented it as a must-visit bar for anyone wanting a night out on the Gilis.
