Kundasang Mineral Springs are located in Kundasang, a cool highland vegetable-growing town at the foot of Mount Kinabalu in Sabah, Malaysian Borneo — the highest peak in Southeast Asia at 4,095 meters and a UNESCO World Heritage Site recognized for its extraordinary concentration of plant diversity, from lowland rainforest to alpine meadow within a single mountain massif. The area is also the site of the Kundasang War Memorial, a moving tribute to the Allied prisoners of war who died during the infamous Sandakan Death Marches of World War II — one of the worst atrocities suffered by Allied POWs in the Pacific theater. The mineral springs here provide refreshing thermal bathing in the cool mountain air, offering wellness and reflection in a landscape of exceptional natural and historical significance.

Insider tip — Set at the foot of Mount Kinabalu, Kundasang Mineral Springs draws cold-mountain air and volcanic heat into the same valley. At roughly 1,500 m elevation the ambient temperature is cool enough that the 40°C mineral pools feel intensely restorative. The surrounding Kinabalu Park UNESCO landscape adds exceptional scenery to every visit.
