Banjar Hot Springs

Banjar Hot Springs, also known as Air Panas Banjar, is a natural hot spring complex in Banjar, Buleleng, North Bali. Warm, sulphur-rich water flows through a landscaped bathing area with several pools and carved stone channels. The setting combines tropical greenery, local recreation, and a relaxed wellness experience near the Lovina coast.

Local and national tourism sources describe the spring as a natural attraction in Banjar Village, about 11 kilometres from Lovina. The pools and facilities are managed for visitors, but conditions, operating hours, entry fees, and available services can change. Check current information before travelling and follow instructions at the complex.

What to expect

The bathing area is arranged in sections with warm water, showers or channels, changing facilities, and supporting services that may include food and shopping. The water can have a mild sulphur smell. The tropical garden and carved dragon features add visual character, but the primary activity is soaking and relaxing rather than swimming laps.

Water temperature can feel different from pool to pool, and the body may respond differently to prolonged soaking. Enter slowly, stay hydrated, take breaks, and leave the water if you feel dizzy, unwell, or overheated. Do not treat claims about sulphur water as medical advice or as a guaranteed treatment for a health condition.

Health and family safety

Ask staff about pool temperatures, depths, hygiene rules, and any restrictions before entering. People with pregnancy, heart, circulation, skin, or other medical concerns should seek advice from a qualified clinician before using hot springs. Children need close supervision around warm water, wet paving, steps, and pool edges. Do not dive or run.

Use only designated pools, keep soap and personal products out of the spring, and follow shower and changing-room rules. Wear footwear with grip on wet surfaces, secure valuables, and keep noise considerate. Do not drink the spring water. If you have an open wound or contagious condition, postpone the visit and protect other bathers.

Planning the visit

Banjar Hot Springs can fit a north Bali route from Lovina or the Banjar area. Air Sanih offers a contrasting freshwater bathing experience near the coast, while Banyumala Waterfall and Lake Buyan are separate nature destinations in the highlands. Allow for winding roads, traffic, and time in the pools rather than planning too many distant stops.

Confirm opening hours, prices, pool access, and any maintenance or ceremony-related changes locally. Facilities may be busier at weekends and holidays. Bring swimwear, a towel, water, sun protection, and dry clothing. Respect other guests and the local community, and use the designated rubbish and changing facilities.
