Atlas Beach Club

This guide to Atlas Beach Club in Bali opens with a 2022 marketing promotion by its parent nightlife company, Holywings, that used the Prophet Muhammad's name as a giveaway gimmick and set off outrage across Indonesia within hours. You'll hear how police and Jakarta's city government responded, what it cost the company, and how its owners rebuilt on Berawa beach under the new Atlas name rather than fold. Listen for the Kecak dancers and fire spinners who perform along the sand after dark.
