Mala Garden Resort and Spa

Great for a more quiet stay with amazing sunset views. Breakfast location is awesome but could be more varied. Staff is super helpful and discreet.

景色一流，出門就是海灘，在到島的西邊，下午可以看日落，晚上附近還有電影看，就是WIFI信號不太好，還有離港口有點遠，需要坐馬車或者騎自行車前往，交通略顯不便

We stayed at Aston Sunset (neighbour with this place) superfriendly staff, GREAT SUNSETMUSIC, GREAT drinks. We hung out here every night and it's just great. Sunsets are amazing here as well! 🙂 Never tried the food though, but looks good!

My stay at Mala Garden was great. The room was very nice, spacious with necessary amenities like fridge. The bathroom though very large and spacious was very unique- as it was open from the top exposed to outdoors (although rain won’t affect as the shower/ toilet area was covered). The hotel grounds were very beautiful, with lush gardens, swings and a very nice pool facing the ocean. The area itself was close to many other bars, restaurants. They also help with renting out bikes, and you can get horse carriage next to the hotel. The hotel was very close to Mad monkey hostel which was a fun place to hang around with other backpackers. It is slightly far from the ferry, so you’ve to take a horse carriage to get there as it’s a bit far to walk with suitcases and there’s no other transportation on the island except for bicycles. Overall it is a very beautiful hotel, and might stay again here next time

My friend and myself stayed in this resort in December 2022. For the most part we had the place to ourselves as Gili Trawangan is struggling to attract tourists. Little wonder as it’s a bit of a nightmare to get to Lombok at present. Garuda Indonesia are not currently operating their direct flight from Bali and the fast boats can be cancelled due to bad weather with no notice. Our trip back to Bali was cancelled and it took us 17 hours on slow boats, buses and the like to get from Gili Trawangan back to Bali. The stuff of nightmares. Back to Mala Garden. The Manager is affable and does a competent job. He has great people supporting him, namely a delightful lady named Angun and a delightful bar tender named Jackson. The young lads who perform waiting and other menial tasks are also delightful. The resort is not in pristine condition, it is located on a tiny, isolated island so it would be a mighty extreme expectation that it would always be faultless. However, mention any issues to any of the senior staff and they attend to concerns very quickly. My friend and I loved our stay at Mala Garden. It’s a gem with flaws, but embrace the minor faults and you will love your time at this resort. I’ve stayed at 4 different places on Gili T over the years and Mala Garden is my firm favourite. Outstanding staff, massive rooms, great facilities and it’s located on the quiet, sunset side of the island. What more could a reasonable tourist want? I rate it Ten out of Ten!

Premetto che a Gili Trawangan vi sono mille tipologie di alloggi, ho scelto questo albergo per la posizione, per il buon rapporto qualità prezzo e per i servizi offerti. Sono rimasto molto soddisfatto della scelta tant'è che lo consiglio, il personale è gentilissimo e disponibile a tutte le esigenze, colazione locale (buonissima) o internazionale con vasta scelta, piscina con possibilità di sorseggiare un cocktail direttamente dentro l acqua, area relax con sdraio e ombrelloni, bar in spiaggia attrezzata, camere complete di ogni confort (asciugacapelli, figo,bollitore con caffè e the, bottiglie acqua sempre disponibili e gratis). 2 anni di stop per la pandemia si sono fatti sentire ci sono dei lavoretti da fare per sistemare piccole cose nella struttura ma tutto sommato è un buon albergo dove soggiornare. Adiacente è presente il bancomat e il noleggio bici, oltre ad altre strutture ricettive.
