Toyabungkah Hot Springs are situated on the shores of Lake Batur in the Kintamani highlands of Bali, within the Batur UNESCO Global Geopark — a volcanic caldera landscape of singular beauty where an active volcano rises dramatically above a shimmering caldera lake against a backdrop of cloud-capped ridges. The sulphurous hot springs here emerge naturally at the lake's edge, their mineral-rich waters maintained at a comfortable bathing temperature by the continuing geothermal activity of Mount Batur below. Soaking in the open-air pools of Toyabungkah with views across the glittering lake surface and the volcano's smoking crater is one of Bali's most memorable natural experiences, combining geothermal wellness with the island's spiritual connection to volcanic earth.
Insider tip — Toyabungkah village clings to the shore of Lake Batur, a vast crater lake inside the caldera of the Batur volcano in the Kintamani highlands at 1000 m altitude. The sulfurous springs emerge directly at the lake's edge, so bathers can look out over steaming black lava fields from the 1963 eruption while soaking. Dawn is magical here: local fishermen paddle dugout canoes across the mist-covered lake as the sun rises over the caldera rim. Water temperature varies seasonally as groundwater levels fluctuate after the rainy season.
