The Gili Trawangan Night Market is one of the island’s most popular evening food spots. It comes alive at around 6:00 PM, when local vendors set up open-air stalls along the main beachfront near the harbour. The market usually stays open until about 11:00 PM, though some stalls remain serving food later into the night, especially in high season.
Visitors will find a wide variety of freshly cooked Indonesian and Sasak dishes: charcoal-grilled seafood such as fish, prawns and squid, skewered meats, fried rice (nasi goreng), mixed rice plates (nasi campur), noodle dishes, soups and local desserts like fried bananas and sweet pancakes.
The night market is especially popular with travellers who want to enjoy authentic local flavours at affordable prices in a casual, lively setting. Many visitors come here for dinner before heading out to the island’s bars and nightlife.
Located just steps from the harbour on the eastern beach, the night market offers an easy way to experience Gili Trawangan’s food culture — with smoky grills, friendly vendors and the buzz of locals and tourists sharing long communal tables.
