Enjoy unspoilt fertile green rolling landscapes, terraced rice paddy fields, misty hills and the 2,276 metre Mt. Batukaru, an extinct volcano and the second highest peak in Bali, dominating the landscape in Tabanan. Head to the famous hot water springs welling up down the sides of the mountain and caught in pools and spouts. A cluster of pools and spouts converted into spas and pools can be found in the village of Penatahan in central Bali located on the banks of the picturesque river Yeh Ho. Take advantage of the pleasant climate and have a good soak in a pool and feel the tension slowly leave your body. Enjoy the green tropical landscape around while you sit in your own open air hot water pool.
The hot water in the area from deep within the mountain is known for its healing and therapeutic properties as the water contains sulphur, potassium and sodium, which are also good for clearing skin diseases. The nearby river providing a place to take a quick reviving dip and the spas offering various treatment options make for a great way to spend the whole day spoiling yourself, a once in a lifetime opportunity! The hot water in the springs seem to have different intensities with the hottest reputedly being the Belulang hot spring located in the middle of a rice field.
Tabanan is the capital town of the regency of Bali that has several districts attached to it. Parts of it are in central Bali and parts are in the west. The hot water is found about fifteen minutes out of Tabanan town close to the ancient Batukaru temple. Here nine private spas and two swimming pools provide all the facilities required for relaxing soaks, spa treatments and if more of the same are necessary, accommodation and restaurants for overnight or longer stays. As with the origin of everything in the ancient land of Bali, there are various fascinating tales as to how the hot springs came about.
