Money Changers on Jalan Pantai Berawa
The main road leading to Atlas has several money changers. You will see them as you drive or walk toward the beach. Most display their rates on boards outside, making it easy to compare. Stop at two or three, check their rates against the current Google rate on your phone, and choose the best option.
Competition among changers in Berawa keeps rates reasonable. The difference between the best and worst changer on the same road is usually 1% to 2%, which on a $500 exchange translates to $5 to $10. Worth comparing, but not worth driving across town for.
ATMs in the Area
BCA, BNI, and Mandiri ATMs are available along Jalan Pantai Berawa and surrounding streets. If you prefer to withdraw Rupiah directly, these ATMs accept international Visa and Mastercard debit cards.

Tips for Visiting Atlas Beach Club
Exchange Money Before You Arrive
Do not wait until you are at Atlas to worry about cash. Exchange at a money changer on your way or arrange delivery to your villa earlier in the day. There is no money changer inside the venue.
Book in Advance When Possible
Atlas gets packed, especially on weekends and during events. If you want a specific day bed or area, book ahead through their website or app. Knowing your minimum spend requirement in advance helps you plan how much cash to exchange.
Arrive with Small Bills
For tipping, small denominations are essential. IDR 10,000, 20,000, and 50,000 bills are ideal. If you exchange at a money changer, ask for a mix of denominations. Handing a server IDR 100,000 as a tip and asking for change is awkward.
Bring Both Card and Cash
The safest strategy is a combination. Use your card for large purchases and food/drink tabs. Use cash for tips and any vendor or service that does not take cards. This way you are covered regardless of the situation.
Secure Your Belongings
Atlas has locker facilities. Use them for your wallet, phone, and excess cash while you swim or move around the venue. Do not leave valuables unattended on your day bed.
