Air Panas Banjar

Carved naga spouts pouring warm sulphur water in the hills of north Bali.

Baignade: Extérieur

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.

Pourquoi y aller

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.

Histoire

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.
