Meno Island or Gili Meno Island is the home of a fishing community in Indonesia. Unspoilt and untouched by outside influences and grotesque commercialism which has become the main facet of the major tourist destinations of the world, Gili Meno is the place where you relax, recover and connect yourself with the blue sky, virgin beaches and turquoise water and rediscover yourself. Gili Meno will not offer you brazen late night bashes, exotic alcoholic beverages or international cuisine, what it does offer is much more precious in fact, Mother Nature at her unspoiled best is hard to come by nowadays globally. However if this you think that what will you do with your days, you can think again! Spend all your time swimming, discovering the intriguing coral reefs that surround the island. The unique ecosystem surrounding the Gili Islands is the subject of study and observation amongst marine biologists, geologists, botanists and zoologists. Different bright colored fishes will enthrall you. Observe how they play and swim, each species has its own distinct characteristics. If your finesse is in diving, then indulge yourself without inhibition, and spend some time snorkeling.

You will find some good staying places, hotels and restaurants are in sufficient quantity to suit the pockets of all visitors. Enjoy yourself but do keep in mind not to offend local sensibilities. The island has a predominantly Muslim population, be careful to show deference to them. Try to avoid wearing skimpy outfits or topless or nude sunbathing. Some tourists are really insensitive and seem to think that the locals do not mind, when the reality is that they do. Very much.
