About Angseri Hot Spring
Angseri Hot Spring, Bali, Indonesia, also known locally as Air Panas Angseri, is a village-managed geothermal bathing site in Angseri village in the Baturiti District of Tabanan Regency, central Bali. It has been operated by the Angseri village administration since October 2007. The site consists of two large open-air public pools fed by natural volcanic hot springs at approximately 35 to 40 degrees Celsius, a smaller pool for children, and several private enclosed stone or bamboo-walled cabins available for rent by 30-minute session. A small waterfall is located within the site. Changing rooms and toilets are on site. Entry is paid and prices are low by international standards, with foreign visitor fees typically higher than local rates.
The hot spring waters contain sulphur and minerals from the volcanic geology of central Bali and are locally considered to have therapeutic properties for skin conditions and circulation. The setting is rural highland Bali at around 1,100 metres elevation, surrounded by bamboo forest, rice terraces, and coconut trees. The site is popular with Balinese visitors and sees fewer international tourists than the more developed hot springs at Banjar in North Bali or Toya Devasya near Kintamani, making it a quieter option for travelers passing through the Tabanan highlands between Bedugul and Jatiluwih.
Location & Access
Getting to Angseri Hot Spring
Angseri Hot Spring is in Angseri village, Baturiti District, Tabanan Regency, Bali, approximately 20 km from Tabanan City and around 5 km northeast of Batukaru Temple. The address is Jl Munduk Lumbang No.1, Angseri, Baturiti, Tabanan Regency, Bali 82191. From Denpasar, the drive takes approximately two hours via the Bedugul route. From Ubud, the drive is around one and a half to two hours. From Canggu or Seminyak, allow two and a half hours or more. Black and white directional signs along the approach roads in Angseri village mark the route to the hot springs.
There is no public transportation serving Angseri directly. The standard approach is to hire a private car and driver, which is widely available in Bali at reasonable daily rates and allows flexible return transport. Renting a scooter is possible but the roads to Angseri are narrow and can be steep and slippery in wet conditions. From the car park, the hot spring is a short walk of approximately 150 metres along a stone and earth path through rice terraces. No taxis or ride-hailing services reliably return from the area, making pre-arranged transport strongly recommended for any visitor planning to return to Ubud, Seminyak, or Denpasar.
Suitability & Accessibility
Who Angseri Hot Spring Suits
Angseri Hot Spring suits travelers already exploring the Tabanan highlands, particularly those combining it with nearby Jatiluwih Rice Terraces, Batukaru Temple, or Bedugul. It is best suited to visitors who prefer a local, low-key bathing experience over a developed spa, and who are comfortable with facilities that are simple rather than polished. The rural highland setting, small waterfall, bamboo forest surrounds, and affordability make it a distinctive stop compared with Bali's more commercial hot spring destinations.
Families are welcome; a separate shallow pool for children is on site, and the private cabin options allow family groups to soak together away from the public pools. The site is popular with Balinese visitors, which gives it a more authentic local character than the tourist-oriented hot springs elsewhere in Bali. Foreign visitors should confirm current entry fees on arrival as pricing for international visitors is higher than local rates and may vary. Cash only.
Wheelchair access is not documented for Angseri Hot Spring. The walk from the car park passes through a rice terrace path and involves uneven ground and steps down to the pool area. The site has not confirmed step-free access or accessible pool entry for wheelchair users. Visitors with mobility requirements should contact the site directly before travelling.
Safety & Etiquette
Angseri Hot Spring Safety Tips
Angseri Hot Spring is generally safe for soaking in the public pools, which are managed by the village and cleaned regularly. The main safety considerations are the elevated water temperature in the hotter pools, the sulphur content of the water, the uneven terrain on the access path and around the pools, and the absence of formal lifeguard supervision. No lockers are provided; leave valuables at your accommodation.
The public pools run at approximately 35 to 40 degrees Celsius, which is comfortable for most adults but requires shorter sessions for children and heat-sensitive visitors. The hottest pool reportedly reaches 40 degrees Celsius; test before entering and limit time in hotter pools to around 10 to 15 minutes before moving to a cooler area. The sulphur-rich water is generally considered skin-safe but visitors with open cuts, rashes, or sulphur sensitivity should bathe cautiously. Bring your own towel and soap as these are not provided.
The path from the car park to the pools is approximately 150 metres on a stone and earth track that becomes slippery in wet conditions. Sturdy sandals or water shoes are strongly recommended. The site is in highland Bali at around 1,100 metres and weather can change quickly; afternoon rain showers are common, especially during the wet season from October to March. No food is reliably available on site; bring snacks and water. A small warung near the entrance may be open but is not guaranteed. The nearest significant services are in Tabanan City, approximately 20 km away.
