Thermal Spa Ciater

Thermal Spa Ciater is a thermal bathing establishment near the Ciater hot springs of West Java, Indonesia, located on the slopes of Tangkuban Perahu — the 'overturned boat' volcano whose legend of the hero Sangkuriang and his mother Dayang Sumbi is one of the most famous stories in Sundanese mythology — where volcanic geothermal activity heats the mineral springs that have been channeled into bathing facilities serving visitors from Bandung and beyond since the colonial era. Ciater's position on the cooler volcanic slopes at approximately 1,400 meters altitude makes the warm mineral spring bathing particularly refreshing, and the tea plantations that carpet the surrounding highlands add an aromatic freshness to the spa setting unique among Indonesian thermal destinations. The thermal spa draws on the geothermal resources of the Tangkuban Perahu volcanic complex to offer warm mineral bathing in the spectacular highland landscape of West Java's volcanic interior, where the living mythology of Sundanese culture animates the natural landscape.
