At Air Panas Banjar, warm sulphur-rich water pours from carved stone dragon (naga) mouths into a series of stone bathing pools. The site has drawn bathers for generations and is held sacred locally, and the water runs comfortably warm rather than scalding. Ease in and let the minerals work on tired muscles.
The pools sit in a shaded garden of frangipani and tropical plants, a short, flat walk from the road. It is a calm, photogenic spot, equal parts soak and stroll, and a world away from the crowds of the south. It can fill up in the middle of the day, so mornings tend to be quieter.
It slots neatly between the Lovina sunrise dolphins and the Sekumpul trek: a warm-up after the boat and a loosen-up before the climb. Bring swimwear and a towel, though changing rooms and a small cafe are on site. The sulphur can leave a faint scent on swimwear afterward.

We pick you up from your hotel or villa in the Ubud area at the time you choose. Your driver shares their details the day before.
Comfortable shoes, sunscreen and a hat, and some cash for entrance tickets (Standard) and lunch along the way.
