Air Panas Banjar

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

Balneazione: Vasca esterna

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.

Perché visitarlo

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.
