Calauan, in the southern part of Laguna Province in the Philippines on the slopes of Mount Banahaw, is set in a landscape of tropical rainforest, coconut plantations, and highland farming communities beneath the sacred volcanic peak of Mount Banahaw, considered the most sacred mountain in the Philippines and the focus of numerous religious cults and pilgrimage traditions. Maguiling Hot Spring Laguna draws on sodium-rich geothermal waters from the volcanic geology of the Mount Banahaw-San Cristobal volcanic complex, offering warm tropical thermal bathing pools in a highland setting of coconut and banana farms, the mineral-rich waters reflecting the active geothermal energy of this sacred volcanic mountain. The sacred Mount Banahaw pilgrimage culture, the traditional Laguna weaving and woodcarving craft heritage of the communities around the lake, and the Pagsanjan River gorge boat rides through dramatic canyon walls create a richly spiritual and naturally beautiful backdrop for thermal bathing in this southern Laguna community.

Insider tip — Maguiling sits on the volcanic southern slopes of Mount Banahaw in Laguna Province, where geothermal activity produces sulfurous springs in a setting of bamboo groves and secondary rainforest. The spring is a local favourite for Laguna residents seeking relief from Manila's heat, and the journey through mountain barangays past rice terraces adds to the appeal. Water flows into concrete or natural stone pools and the sulfur content is high enough to carry the characteristic rotten-egg scent from some distance.
