Bali, known as the “Island of the Gods,” has always been synonymous with mesmerizing landscapes, beautiful beaches, and exotic getaways. This tropical paradise is home to some of the world’s most enchanting hotels and resorts, each offering a unique slice of paradise. From clifftop villas in Uluwatu to serene rice paddy resorts in Ubud, Bali has it all. And just when you thought it couldn’t get any better, a new and magical resort is set to open its doors in the breathtaking Besakih hills – introducing Tapa Agung View.
Nestled amidst the picturesque Besakih hills in Menanga, Karangsaem, Tapa Agung View promises to redefine luxury and tranquility. With unparalleled views of the sacred Mount Agung, this resort is a dream come true for nature enthusiasts and peace seekers.
The project has been in the making for two years, driven by the vision of Suyanto Siman, the Director of Tapa Agung View. His love affair with the land dates back to 2021 when he first laid eyes on it. Siman recalls, “I saw land in Bedugul and planned to build a villa. But it turned out to be quite far. 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.”
Partnering with the founders of Tapa Agung View, I Wayan Suarsa Pramana, CEO of Pramana Experience, shares the resort’s vision. He states, “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. Guests will be able to neutralize their burdens and stress and provide cool and fresh air, free of pollution, and the water here is very good.”
Pramana Experience is renowned for its hospitality investments, boasting some of Bali’s most highly regarded hotels and private villas.
Haijanto Lawoto, an investor in the resort, also expresses his affection for the land. He enthuses, “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.'”
Tapa Agung View offers a range of room types, with rates starting at just USD 34 per night. This incredible resort ensures that guests can indulge in true luxury and unmatched comfort without breaking the bank. The deluxe rooms all provide a view of the sacred Mount Agung, creating an ambiance of serenity and awe.
The in-house restaurant not only offers delectable cuisine but also boasts incredible mountain views. Additionally, the resort features a magical infinity pool complete with a sun deck, loungers, and shade umbrellas. Guests at Tapa Agung View are treated to panoramic views of Mount Agung and the rolling green hills of Karangasem Regency.
While Karangasem Regency may not be the first choice for many tourists, it has much to offer. Tapa Agung View Besakih is conveniently located just a short drive away from some of Bali’s most beautiful and culturally significant sites.
Penglipuran Village, a short 19km drive away, is known as the cleanest village in the world, providing a deeper dive into Balinese culture. For those interested in exploring Bali’s famous temples, Tapa Agung View Besakih is the ideal base for visiting the iconic Pura Luhur Lempuyang, also known as the Gates of Heaven Temple. While the temple itself is just over an hour’s drive from the resort, the scenic journey through the heart of East Bali is an adventure in its own right.
