Panicuason Hot Springs Resort is a natural hot spring facility in the municipality of Panicuason within Naga City, Camarines Sur Province, in the Bicol Region of southern Luzon, Philippines, where chloride-rich volcanic waters associated with the geothermal activity of the Bicol volcanic arc — which includes the iconic Mount Mayon stratovolcano — emerge in a landscape shaped by one of the Philippines' most volcanically active regions. The resort serves as a recreational and therapeutic bathing facility for Naga City — one of the most culturally vibrant cities in the Bicol region, famous for the annual Peñafrancia Festival honouring the Virgin of Peñafrancia in one of Asia's largest and most devout Marian celebrations. The chloride spring waters, combined with the Bicolano culinary culture known for its fiery coconut cream-based cuisine (Laing, Bicol Express) and the volcanic grandeur of Mount Mayon's nearly perfect cone visible from much of the region, creates a characteristically intense and flavourful Bicolano hot spring experience.
