Limbang Hot Springs are found in Limbang, a town in the Limbang Division of Sarawak in Malaysian Borneo that holds the unique geographic distinction of being part of a Malaysian enclave completely surrounded by Brunei, dividing the Sultan's realm into two separate sections with Limbang River cutting through the middle of what would otherwise be contiguous Bruneian territory. The surrounding Sarawak highlands are rich in primary rainforest and contain access routes toward Gunung Mulu National Park — a UNESCO World Heritage Site famous for its extraordinary cave systems, including Sarawak Chamber (the world's largest cave chamber) and Deer Cave's nightly exodus of millions of bats. The hot springs here provide mineral bathing in this remote and geographically fascinating corner of Borneo, where Malaysian, Bruneian, and indigenous Orang Ulu territorial identities intersect amid ancient forest.

Insider tip — Hidden in the Limbang division of northern Sarawak near the Brunei border, these hot springs emerge from jungle-clad limestone karst. The waters carry a mild sulfur scent and sit at a comfortable 40°C. The surrounding primary rainforest hosts hornbills and proboscis monkeys, making the trek to the springs as rewarding as the soak itself.
