Onze favoriete warmwaterbronnen op Bali

Bali maakt deel uit van de Ring van Vuur, een regio in de wereld vol vulkanische activiteit. Een voordeel hiervan is dat natuurlijke warmwaterbronnen en thermale baden overal op het eiland te vinden zijn. We hebben onze favorieten hier op een rijtje gezet.

• 1. Lake Batur Hot Springs (Kintamani)

  Near Mount Batur, Central/North-East Bali

  

  

  

  

  Love it? Check prices now!

  Without a doubt the most beautifully located hot springs, directly located next to the spectacular Batur Crater Lake, in the shadow of the Mount Batur Volcano.

  There are multiple hot springs you can choose between, they are only a few hundred meters apart. We believe Batur Natural Hot Spring (Google Maps) is the nicest for couples, but Toya Devasya (Google Maps) is a great option too. The latter has some slides and thus attracts a bit more families.

  In our view, the best way to enjoy a Batur hot spring is by combining it with a romantic (and relatively easy) Sunrise hike to the top of the Batur Volcano. Linked is a highly rated tour company that offers a package including Hike + Hotspring + Transport from South Bali (they can pick you up in your hotel in Ubud, Seminyak or Canggu).

• 2. Banjar Hot Springs (Lovina)

  15m drive from Lovina

  The public pool invite the wellness time bound

  Visit it on weekday or early morning brings you calming vibe

  Chose the Upper Private VIP Pool for a quality time

  Pick the lower private VIP Pool if you on budget

  Also known as Air Panas Banjar, this spring is located roughly 5 kilometers from Lovina in North Bali. These are traditional Balinese termal baths. The local population believes that the natural hot water from this spring has a healing power.

  On the way to this hot spring, you will pass through various traditional Balinese villages. Visit the hot springs for a relaxed and refreshing dip and allow the natural hot water to help soothe your nerves. Do note this hot spring can get crowded as many locals like to frequent it, especially in the weekends.

• 3. Go private at Penatahan Hot Springs (Tabanan)

  North of Tabanan, 1hr from Canggu and Ubud.

  Penatahan Hot Spring well known as the widest hotspring for the intimate time

  Enjoy your intimate hot spring relaxing time in a hour or more can request

  Here's exist 2 different scale of public pool you should try !

  There are plenty of private hot spring avaible that still budget-friendly

  A hot spring mostly frequented by locals, a bit off the beaten path. However it's great for couples on a honeymoon or on a date as they offer private hot spring pools which you can rent affordably by the hour. As far as we know it's the only hot spring in Bali that offers such private pools.

  When we visited there was no need to book in advance. We just had to wait 20 minutes for our private pool to be ready, and there is a large heated public pool as well. but to be sure it might be worth reaching out to them in advance through Whatsapp: +6285100540851.

  Great as a day trip from Canggu or Ubud (around 1 hour drive from both). It could be combined with a visit to the beautiful Jatiluwih Rice Terraces which are about 30 minutes further up north.

De beste sauna’s voor koppels op Bali

Hoewel de bovenstaande warmwaterbronnen allemaal vrij traditioneel zijn en diepgeworteld in de Balinese cultuur, kan tegenwoordig ook modernere wellness op het eiland Bali worden ervaren. We houden ervan om Fins-geïnspireerde sauna’s te bezoeken, en er zijn veel opties om uit te kiezen, afhankelijk van de regio die jullie bezoeken.

Sommige mensen vragen ons of Bali niet te warm is om van een sauna te genieten. Alle hieronder genoemde sauna’s bieden ook koude baden om af te koelen, en eerlijk gezegd voelen we ons altijd super verfrist na een bezoek. Probeer het eens! Onze twee favorieten zijn de extravagante Istana in Uluwatu en de prachtige en bescheiden Tjampuhan Spa in Ubud. Laten we jullie vertellen waarom we er zo van houden!

• 4. Istana Spa & Sunset (Uluwatu)

  Uluwatu

  The Istana Spa Sauna refers to the wellness facilities at The Istana

  Pouring water over the hot stones in Istana Spa's traditional sauna

  Contrast therapy at The Istana is alternates controlled heat exposure

  The Sound Dome resonates and vibrates as people chant or sing inside of it

  Our favorite sauna in all of Bali. When we were living in Canggu we would sometimes drive the whole 1.5 hour way down to Uluwatu just to enjoy an afternoon of relaxation here. Book this place in advance, you won't regret it.

  On Uluwatu cliff overlooking the Indian ocean, this sauna offers cold baths, steam rooms, two sauna's and large swimming pools. As it's facing east, you will be able to enjoy the most spectacular sunset from this place if you book the evening timeslot. Usually after sunset, the staff will light a bonfire, giving this place magical vibes.

• 5. Tjampuhan Sauna (Ubud)

  Central Ubud

  Can conclude the spa experience also here

  The only sauna and spa that is one with nature

  Enjoy a spa massage by a clear river with nature as your soundtrack

  The heat from the sauna soothes your never ending relaxes muscle

  The day spa at the Tjampuhan Hotel is a real hidden gem. While we were living in Ubud, we would go here almost every week... Positioned in a cave overlooking the river valley, the sauna complex has an air of mystery and might be our favorite romantic experience in Ubud. You can use the hot and cold whirlpool baths, a sauna, and a steam room. Enjoy the stone carvings around you while hearing the sounds of the river and jungle in the background. It is possible to walk all the way down to the river and take a shower under a natural waterfall. On top of that, they offer massages too!

  TIP: Tjampuhan Spa is located at the start of the famous Campuhan ridge walk. Why not reward you and your partner with a Spa after walking the Campuhan trail?

  A rejuvenating massage at Amo Spa & Health Club

  Amo Spa is the favorite place of many Canggu influencers - you may have seen their ice cold plunge pools in photos on Instagram or videos on Youtube. This health club is located right in the center of Canggu. It offers hot tubs, a sauna, cold baths and a pool. Its also a great place for a massage or multiple types of treatment. We recommend this place if you feel like escaping the buzz of Canggu for a little while.

  The cozy lounge deck is perfect for unwinding rest

  Unique Experience. A Balinese style wooden building in the middle of the jungle, turned into a traditional Russian style sauna. This place is mostly frequented by Russians visiting Bali, but everyone is welcome.

  They have multiple sauna's and baths, and you can even join traditional tea ceremonies - all of it overlooking a beautiful jungle. Check their Instagram for the latest events, as they often host special nights.

• 8. Dragonfly Spa (Ubud)

  Walking distance from Ubud

  Dragonfly's barrel sauna glow beautifully at night

  Ladling water over the hot stones in Dragonfly's sauna

  Inside Dragonfly's wood-fired sauna, fresh oak whisks ready to use

  The Herbal Steam sauna at Dragonfly, overlooking the rice fields at sunset

  Only open on some days of the week, so check in advance. Unique experience between the ricefields north of Ubud. Getting to this place is an adventure in itself. You will need to walk a small path from town, not suitable for cars but with beautiful views along the way.

  This herbal steam sauna is not as fancy or luxurious as some of our other listings. It is however a very unique and authentic experience, almost spiritual and very much what you would expect in Ubud. Alongside the herbal steam sauna they offer a salt water pool as well. It's a bit off the beaten path, but worth visiting during your honeymoon if you're in for a unique experience!

• 9. Soham Wellness Center (Seminyak)

  Seminyak

  Sinking into the warm jacuzzi after a long day

  One of our absolute favorite spots to relax in Bali

  A must do after every visit to Soham

  Our favorite spot for a relaxing couple's massage at Soham

  Modern wellness center in Seminyak, but quite close from Canggu too. This place has a (small) sauna on the top floor with a cold bath, as well as extensive gym facilities and an outdoor rooftop pool. They do offer day passes. Great place to visit for a healthy afternoon during your honeymoon.

  We visited the Svaha Spa in Ubud as well as the Svaha Spa in Sanur. This review is of the Svaha Spa Ubud, check out our review of the Svaha Spa Sanur in our Seascape Sanur article.

  Not a sauna, but a great wellness option for couples staying in Ubud and looking for a romantic experience with a couples massage and flower bath. Svaha Spa Kenderan, part of the 5-star Aksari resort, is an absolutele bliss! We experienced the tropical package for couples, where we were being massaged next to each other with a beautiful setting of tropical lush forest and sounds of a river flowing in the distance. When we arrived in the Spa lobby we were handed an healthy ginger shot and a cold towel. We were then given a sample of all the different oil scents to choose, something we had not experienced in a spa before.We were then escorted to the spa area passing through a beautifully decorated pond with three swans hanging out peacefully.

  The session started with a cleansing and foot bath where our feet were filled with warm water mixed with flowers, sea salt, and lemon. Massages were done very professionally and both masseuses were very attentive to our wishes yet very friendly. Afterwards, we had a flower bath to ourselves. During the flower bath, we were offered a refreshing rosella tea with some addictive ginger candies. Showering in the private facilities afterwards is such a pleasant experience as the amenities are complete including shampoos, conditioner, shower gel, and body lotion, all with a very Balinese scent.

Balinese massages

Balinese massages zijn een geweldige ervaring voor stellen, omdat ze een diep ontspannende en verjongende ervaring bieden die samen kan worden gedeeld. De combinatie van lange strelingen, acupressuur en aromatherapie die wordt gebruikt in Balinese massage, kan helpen spanningen los te laten en de bloedsomloop te verbeteren, waardoor beide partners zich verfrist en energiek voelen. Bovendien kan de vredige en serene sfeer van een Balinese spa een rustgevende omgeving bieden waar stellen tot rust kunnen komen en opnieuw verbinding met elkaar kunnen maken.

De meeste hierboven genoemde spa’s en sauna’s bieden ook massages aan. Maar je zult massages letterlijk overal op het eiland kunnen vinden. Ze zijn meestal relatief duur wanneer je ze direct in je hotel boekt, dus we raden aan om hoog gewaardeerde massagesalons of kleine spa’s te bekijken in de omgeving van waar je verblijft. Op deze manier steun je ook direct de lokale bevolking.
