A wise man once said that the beauty lies in the journey and not in the destination, a fitting statement for the trip to Angseri hot spring.
Trying to reach the spring from the village’s center means navigating miles of severely damaged road. At some points, the road is so damaged that even the SUV preferred by the military would have to give its best, and more.
Another available route is through downtown Tabanan, turning right to Penebel. The road is much better and the route also takes the visitor along one of the island’s centers of chicken farming in Senganan (don’t forget to close your window) and the island’s only butterfly park in Sandan. This route is longer than the first one, but more feasible for those who don’t travel by Land Rover.
From the parking lot, visitors walk down a concrete path to the hot spring compound. The winding path is flanked by beautiful scenery, terraced rice fields, towering trees, sprawling ferns, humble fungi and an open-air food stall that offers chilled beer to soothe the visitor’s palpitated heart and drawn out breathing.
The compound comprises two large pools, one for kids and another one for adults. A not too tall, but impressive, waterfall poses next to the adult pool and forms a narrow stream that adds charm to the compound. The entrance ticket is only Rp 5,000, which also entitles the visitor to unlimited use of the public pool. Those who want more privacy could book one of several available rooms for Rp 20,000 per hour. Each room is equipped with a private pool that could accommodate 4-6 people. Two of the rooms offer a direct view of the opposing hill with its lush tropical vegetation. There is also a villa available for rent on the nearby higher ground. The villa offers a private hot pool and one fully-furnished master bedroom for Rp 350,000 per night.
