Tasek Merimbun Hot Spring

Tutong, in Tutong District in the centre of Brunei Darussalam on the northern coast of Borneo, is set in a landscape of tropical rainforest, mangrove coast, and traditional Malay kampung villages along the Tutong River, adjacent to the remarkable Tasek Merimbun — Brunei's largest natural lake and an important wetland Heritage Park set within pristine peat swamp forest. Tasek Merimbun Hot Spring draws on sodium-rich thermal waters from the geothermal resources of the Borneo geological zone, offering warm therapeutic pools near the extraordinary Tasek Merimbun Heritage Park whose peat swamp and freshwater lake ecosystem supports rare Borneo wildlife including proboscis monkeys, hornbills, and monitor lizards in one of Brunei's most ecologically significant natural areas. The Tasek Merimbun Heritage Park's extraordinary peat swamp biodiversity, the traditional Brunei Malay village culture of the Tutong River communities, and the extraordinary wealth and stability of the oil-rich Sultanate of Brunei that has preserved these natural areas from development create an unusually pristine and ecologically rich hot spring destination in the heart of Borneo.
