Außen

Air Panas Banjar lies in a jungle ravine behind Lovina in north Bali. Warm sulphur water pours from eight carved naga heads into a first stone pool, then falls three metres from higher spouts into a second, where bathers stand under the stream to take the water on their shoulders. Frangipani and vine cover the walls above.

Warum hingehen

It is the most beautiful public thermal bath in Bali — stone dragons, jungle, warm mineral water — and a working village bath rather than a resort.

Charakter
Warm sulphur water delivered through carved naga spouts into two stone pools, the upper one falling about three metres.

Geschichte

The pools were built during the Dutch colonial period around a spring long used by the surrounding villages, and the carved naga spouts and terraces were extended in the twentieth century. The baths remain in local hands, with a warung and gardens above them.

Praktische Informationen
