Sukabumi, in the highland volcanic terrain of West Java Province in Indonesia, is set at the foot of Mount Gede and Mount Salak in the volcanic highlands south of Bogor, where the extraordinary biodiversity of the Gede Pangrango National Park — home to the endemic Javan gibbon and Javan leopard — surrounds a landscape of tea estates, rice terraces, and traditional Sundanese village communities. Cisolok Hot Spring Sukabumi draws on sodium-rich geothermal waters from the active volcanic geology of the West Java arc, offering warm tropical thermal bathing in a highland setting near the dramatic Cisolok River gorge where hot spring waters bubble into the riverbed creating natural thermal pools in a spectacular rainforest setting. The Cisolok waterfall hot spring area where thermal and cold river waters mix in the gorge pools, the Gede Pangrango National Park wildlife including rare Javan fauna, and the traditional Sundanese arts and cuisine of the Sukabumi highland communities make this a rewarding natural thermal destination in the volcanic highlands of West Java.

Insider tip — Cisolok lies on the wild southern coast of West Java where the Indo-Australian tectonic plate plunges beneath the Sunda Arc, producing highly active sulfurous vents along the Cisolok River. Water erupts at scalding temperatures above 70 degrees, requiring careful mixing with cooler river flow before bathing is possible. The jungle-clad ravine setting, with hot and cold streams converging beneath dense riparian vegetation, is dramatically beautiful and unlike anything found in Java's more commercialised highland resorts.
