Exploring the Bali Pool at WorldSprings

Each year, the Indonesian province of Bali attracts millions of tourists. While many flock to the archipelago for its exquisite beaches and unique landmarks, some of its lesser known, yet remarkable, features lie within the region’s mineral hot springs. Whether you’re planning an island adventure or seeking a thermal pool experience a bit closer to home, here’s what you should know about the calming waters of Bali’s hot springs.

What Is Unique About the Waters of Bali?

The waters surrounding Bali are influenced by the Indonesian Throughflow, an oceanic current that delivers nutrient-rich waters from the Pacific to the Indian Ocean. Not only does this allow a diverse range of ecosystems to thrive, but it also creates thermal layers with varying temperatures. Furthermore, Balinese culture holds water sacred, and bodies of water, like holy springs and the ocean itself, are core components of Hindu purification rituals.

As you venture to north and central Bali, you’ll also find mineral-rich hot springs that receive their warmth from the nearby active volcanoes. The most prominent is Mount Agung, the highest volcano in Bali, which is held sacred by its people.

What Minerals Are in Balinese Hot Springs?

Bali’s healing hot springs brim with minerals that have beneficial wellness properties. Our Bali Pool draws inspiration from the Banjar Holy Hot Springs tucked in the northeast mountains of Bali in the Singaraja region.

The destination (known as Air Panas Banjar to locals) boasts a large swimming pool, with a depth of six and a half feet, plus a three-foot-deep children’s pool, and a refreshing pool shower. Like the popular Indonesian attraction, our Bali Pool contains high concentrations of sulfate and magnesium.

You get these minerals through your diet, but you can also receive them via absorption. Research shows that we can absorb nutrients through our skin and that the benefits of mineral hot springs extend across a variety of health outcomes, from improving skin conditions to supporting vascular health.

Specifically, magnesium is responsible for many core bodily functions, from maintaining heart health to supporting bone formation and metabolism. The nutrient has also been associated with a number of benefits, including:

• Reduced muscle soreness and inflammation
• Improved skin health
• Enhanced sleep

Magnesium may also contribute to stress management by controlling cortisol levels throughout the body.

Additionally, Bali’s calming pool is rich in sulfate, which aids detoxification, removing harmful substances (including heavy metals) to relieve muscle pain naturally — no medication required.

While Bali’s mineral hot springs are certainly worth booking a flight for, you can enjoy thermal pools inspired by Bali’s waters stateside. At both our Dallas, TX, and Colorado hot springs facilities, we have a series of mineral pools with wellness properties found in waters across the globe. Our Bali pool is located within our all-ages region, meaning the whole family can enjoy a Bali-inspired soak. It’s also our only freshwater pool onsite, making it a unique experience that shouldn’t be missed.

What minerals are in the hot springs found within our Bali pool? Like the actual Balinese hot springs, our waters are infused with magnesium, potassium, and bicarbonate. In fact, the Bali mineral pools at our Colorado and Dallas facilities were inspired by the Banjar Hot Springs, which is made up of high magnesium content.
