    Juku

    Eat grilled fish at Juku. It is open from 11:00 to 23:00, so it is ready for an early dinner. The fish is prepared in a traditional open wood grill, and the marinades are creative.

    Sama Sama

    Head to Sama Sama bar for a drink. It is open from 08:00 until late, so it is open now. There is live reggae music and a lively atmosphere.

    Laguna Gili Beach Cinema

    Walk five minutes north-northwest to Laguna Gili Beach Cinema. Arrive ten minutes before the sun sets to secure a good spot on the sand. The cinema is an open-air venue facing the water, perfect for watching the sun dip below the horizon.

Local tip

The walk from the dive center area to the cinema is short and flat. No need to rush, but arrive before 18:12 to avoid missing the first rays of golden light.
