La propriété — Atas awan - above the clouds
Atas awan is a basic three-star hotel that trades on its name: it sits high enough on the Tabanan hillside that you do feel above the morning cloud layer. The lobby is open-sided, tiled, with a rattan sofa and a view that drops straight down into the valley; it's quiet, a bit faded, and suits travellers who want a cheap base for exploring rice terraces and temples without any frills. The USP is the terrace at dawn, when the mist sits in the valley and the coffee is instant but the air is cool.
Chroniques de Tabanan
Tabanan was once the seat of a powerful Balinese kingdom that controlled the west coast and the fertile plains between the mountains and the sea. Its royal palace, the Pura Taman Ayun, was built in the 17th century and remains a fine example of water-garden temple architecture. The region never became a mass-tourism hub like Kuta; instead it stayed agricultural, its landscape defined by the subak irrigation system that dates back to the 9th century. Today Tabanan is known for its rice fields, the Jatiluwih terraces (a UNESCO World Heritage site), and a slower, more traditional pace of life.

April, June, and September: dry season with blue skies, low humidity, and fewer crowds than July and August. All three are good for temple walks and bike rides through the terraces without rain ruining the view.
Peak / Festival surge
July and August are peak: European school holidays bring packs of tourists, prices at Atas awan can jump 30-40%, and the town's main roads clog with hire cars. The Bali Arts Festival runs June-July in Denpasar, which pulls day-trippers, but Tabanan itself sees its own crowded weekends from domestic visitors.
La saison des épaules
October and November are the best budget months: the rains haven't fully set in, the terraces are still green from the tail of the dry season, and hotel rates drop to a third of peak. You'll have the hilltop views mostly to yourself.
Météo & Emballage
Tabanan sits at about 600m elevation, so evenings can drop to 20°C even in July — pack a light long-sleeve layer for the terrace at dawn. The afternoons are hot and humid; bring a wide-brimmed hat and insect repellent for the rice-field walks.
Briefing de la ville — Tabanan
- Repair work on the main road from Tabanan to Bedugul (route to the Jatiluwih terraces) has caused long delays on weekdays; allow an extra 45 minutes each way through late 2026.
- Pura Taman Ayun completed its outer-shrine restoration in early 2026, so the temple compound is fully open to visitors again with no scaffolding on the meru towers.
- A new direct bus service from Ngurah Rai airport to Tabanan town began in May 2026, running every two hours; it drops you at the central market, a 30-minute walk (or 5-minute taxi) from Atas awan.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Atas awan - above the clouds, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the 3rd or 4th floor facing the rice paddies at the back. These floors give you the 'above the clouds' viewpoint without street-level rumble, and you’ll likely catch morning mist over the fields.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms and those at the front overlooking the main road through Tabanan. Ground floor can pick up foot traffic and staff noise; front-facing rooms get scooter and truck noise from the street.
Best views
Rooms at the back – likely overlooking the surrounding rice terraces and hillsides that give the hotel its name. The front side looks onto Tabanan’s main road, so no go for views.
Quietest floors
3rd and 4th floors are the quietest, as they’re above street level and away from the lobby and kitchen.
🔊 Noise notes
Tabanan’s main road carries a steady flow of scooters and trucks from early morning until late evening. The hotel’s own breakfast service starts around 6–7am, so rooms above the kitchen or restaurant will hear clatter and staff chatter.
Insider tips
1. If you arrive by car, the hotel has a small front parking area but it fills fast – arrive early afternoon to secure a spot, or park on the street overnight. 2. Request a top-floor back room at booking time – they’re limited and the view is the main draw. No lift beyond the 4th floor, so pack light if you’re on the top floor.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available
