BANJAR HOT SPRING

Banjar Hot Springs, locally referred to as ‘Air Panas Banjar’, are located approximately
5km southwest from the famous Lovina coast in North Bali. The hot water springs share the same
district as the Brahmavihara Arama Buddhist monastery which is located only 1.5km to the east.
The centuries-old hot springs have been upgraded with modern facilities over time, and have
become a favourite retreat and recreational site among locals and international visitors.
From the Seririt-Singaraja main route, a series of village routes up the hills of the Banjar district
lead to an intersection with clear signposts to the hot springs. At the spring’s site entrance, a ticket
office is adjacent (berdekatan) to a parking space. Cars and coaches stop here, while motorcycles
are permitted further access along the row of shops to a smaller parking space next to a roofed
stone gate with a signage that reads, “Permandian Air Panas” – ‘hot water bathing place’. The
souvenir shops that line the route before the stone gate sell various items, from framed art,
handicrafts, souvenirs, Bintang shirts to batiks and dyed cloths.
The short pathway and bridge after the gate is by a small river, leading you to a further flight of
steps. From here, the first smaller pools can easily be seen, where spouts gush onto visitors
enjoying the soothing splashes. Further up the steps is a shop selling snacks and refreshments. The
hot water springs complex comprises four main pool sections, with the largest and central bathing
pool featuring a restaurant perched high above the northern side. Beside the restaurant are
restrooms, lockers and changing rooms, and a spa and massage facility.

The bathing pools are constructed around the hot water spring source and feature a tiered structure.
The first level features eight dragon spouts with a smaller pool also adjoining this section. The
large size of the central bathing pools enables families to join in on the soothing dip. Down on the
second level is the main central pool. The hot water springs provide a recreational and therapeutic
experience, due to the water’s sulphuric content. This can be seen from the yellowish red
sedimentation at several points of the spouts and pool walls.
The complex is known to have been further developed during the Japanese occupation of Indonesia
during World War II. At the time, the waters of the hot springs were known to have cured various
skin problems as well as rheumatic ailments. Banjar Hot Springs continue to provide an enjoyable
and health-benefitting retreat up in the hills of the north, for those seeking relaxation, fun,
sightseeing, and a totally different experience. Those not willing to go for a swim can easily enjoy
the lush tropical gardens, or the view from above at the Komala Tirta Restaurant, or shopping for
souvenirs at the rows of art shops just outside. The hot springs are an easy itinerary on trips to
North Bali, approximately 25km west from the town centre of Singaraja, the capital of the Buleleng
regency.
 LOVINA BEACH

Beach is the name. Lovina is really a string of coastal villages to the west of Singaraja. Escape
from the hustle and bustle of Kuta to Lovina Beach located in north Bali, about 100 kilometers
from southern tourist hotspots. It is well known as an excellent site for sunset watching, snorkeling,
and diving. Darkly beautiful, Lovina offers quiet and calm, and is popular Asian tourists and those
avoiding the hustle and bustle of the southern beaches. A number of coves offer tranquil, protected
waters and Lovina is one of them. Although the sand is grey, it is quiet and peaceful, and popular
among those who shun the glitzier beach resorts of the south. It is a popular place for dolphin
watching; dolphins play in the water off Lovina. Famous for its early morning dolphin-watching
boat trips, Lovina also offers good snorkeling and diving, and trekking in the nearby mountains.

best in Bali. Boats are readily available to take divers over to the island, where there are no

what Kuta offers but do not like the crowd. With a wonderful variety of hotels, restaurants and
bars located on or very near the calm beach, Lovina offers something for everyone. It is also a
good base to take day trips to the nearby attractions of north and west Bali.
