Welcome!
Welcome to Gili Castle, the best hostel on Gili Trawangan for solo travellers!
Voted Most Popular Hostel in Gili Trawangan by Hostelworld! (2024 HOSCARS)
Since 2013, Gili Castle has been the market leader for travellers who want it all. Why choose between a party hostel and a quiet retreat when you can have both?
With three distinct buildings located just 100 meters apart, you get full access to the island's best pool parties, a 6m climbing wall, and our in-house Scuba Dive Centre. Whether you're here to dance, dive, or disappear into a poolside book, the Castle is your home. YOU choose which vibe you want & when, and we have you covered! Check out our activities page to see what's on offer.
How it works: Simply book your base at your preferred location: Chill, Party, or Explore. While that building is your home for the night, you are a guest at all three! You can spend your day lounging by the pool at Chill, then wander down to Explore to book your snorkelling and diving, before heading over for Joss Shots and drinking games at Party. After the night, simply retreat to your quiet dorm for a restful night’s sleep.
People who say “you can’t have it all” have not stayed at Gili Castle yet! Choose your vibe or all 3… the possibilities at Gili Castle are endless!

NEWLY RENOVATED JAN-APRIL 2026! You heard it - The Party building JUST finished some major renovations. Same Gili Castle but newer, fresher, prettier and even better!

Here is where we host all our famous pool parties, FREE family dinners and pizza nights, activities and tournaments, daily happy hours, drinking games and MORE! The bar closes at 11pm every night and that’s when we head out to the club to enjoy the rest of Gili T’s nightlife!
