The Island of the Gods is home to some of the most magical hotels and resorts in the world. From the clifftop villas of Uluwatu to the rice paddies resorts of Ubud, there is incredible accommodation in every corner of the island.

Just as we thought it couldn’t get any better, a new and magical resort is about to open in the mesmerizing Besakih hills. 

Tapa Agung View in Besakih is opening its reservations platform for pre-opening bookings.

The new resort is nestled in the Besakih hills in Menanga, Karangsaem, and offers truly magical views of the sacred Mount Agung. 

The project has been two years in the making. The Director of Tapa Agung View, Suyanto Siman, told preparers that he first saw the land back in 2021 and instantly fell in love.

Siman told the media “I saw land in Bedugul and planned to build a villa. But it turned out to be quite far.”

He shared “The reason I like [this spot] is that the road to this location is not too difficult and there are rarely any traffic jams. Apart from that, the view is very beautiful.”

The CEO of Pramana Experience, who has partnered with the founders of Tapa Agung View, I Wayan Suarsa Pramana, shared the vision for the new resort.

He said “Our target market is couples or guests looking for peace. That’s why our tagline ‘Mountain Escape’ is a way to get away from routine, by looking at the view of Mount Agung.

Haijanto Lawoto, one of the investors in the new resort, shared his love for the land “I came here with my family several times. When I saw here, I said What do we want to do, what if we could run this together like [hotels] before the pandemic.”
