If you are looking for a place to truly unwind after a day of exploring Bali highlands, the Kintamani hot spring scene has everything you need. Nestled beside the glittering Lake Batur and framed by the towering silhouette of Mount Batur, this volcanic region is home to some of the most soothing natural mineral pools on the island.
Among the hot spring options in the area, Toya Devasya Natural Hot Spring stands out as the most complete destination for families and leisure travelers alike. Spanning 2.5 hectares, it combines natural hot spring pools with water rides, spa services, water sports, and dining, all with an unobstructed view of the volcano and lake.
Why Kintamani Is Bali Best Hot Spring Destination
Kintamani sits in Bali northeastern highlands, roughly 65 km from Denpasar, at the rim of the massive Mount Batur caldera. The elevation brings cooler temperatures and crisp mountain air. The combination of volcanic activity beneath the surface and the surrounding lake creates ideal conditions for natural geothermal springs.
The Toya Bungkah village, where most of the hot springs are located, sits right at the edge of Lake Batur. The water is naturally odorless, colorless, and rich in minerals, making soaking here feel genuinely therapeutic.
About Toya Devasya Natural Hot Spring
Officially opened on December 31, 2018, Toya Devasya is widely recognized as the first hot spring waterpark concept in Bali. The resort spans 2.5 hectares and features 9 warm water pools, a full range of water sports, spa services, camping areas, and a restaurant.
The water is sourced directly from the volcanic springs at a temperature of around 38C. It is believed to carry health benefits, particularly for skin conditions and allergies.
Toya Devasya vs Batur Natural Hot Spring
These two spring facilities are located just 120 meters apart. Batur Natural Hot Spring is the older, more traditional option, quieter and smaller. Toya Devasya is larger, more modern, and better suited for families or those who want more activities.
