Hot Spring Tips: How You Can Relax Like a Pro in Kintamani

To keep your holiday fun and your relaxation game strong, check out these tips before heading to Kintamani’s hot springs!
Make sure you’re fit
Before you dive into a steaming hot pool, make sure your body is in tip-top shape. Hot water can put extra pressure on your system. So, it’s not ideal if you’re running a fever, battling the flu, or feeling weak.
If you have a history of high blood pressure or heart problems, it’s best to check in with your doctor first. High water temperatures can trigger a spike in blood pressure, and that’s the last thing you want to deal with on your getaway, right?
Rinse off before you soak
Once you’ve arrived at the hot spring, take a quick rinse before hopping in. This simple step helps keep the pool water clean for everyone. Plus, rinsing with cool water first helps your body adjust to the temperature change, so you won’t feel that big shock when you ease into the warm water.
Adjust to the water temperature
If it’s your first time soaking in a hot spring, the heat might surprise you. Before you slip in, let your body ease into it by soaking just your feet for about 15 minutes at the pool’s edge. Another option is to splash the warm water over your body for the same amount of time.
Trust Bob, this gradual adjustment helps your body get used to the heat, making your soak a lot more comfortable!
Limit your soak time
Ideally, you should soak in a hot spring for only 15–20 minutes. Why? Staying in too long can leave you feeling weak, dizzy, or even dehydrated.
When the water is quite hot, your body will keep sweating. You might lose fluids without even realizing it.
If you want to stay longer, take a break first. Step out, relax by the poolside while enjoying the view, then hop back in after a few minutes. It’s a safer way to enjoy the hot springs without risking your health!
Stay hydrated
This one ties in with the previous tip: make sure you drink enough water before and after your soak. The heat can leave you feeling dizzy or weak faster than you think.
The key is to bring your own water bottle and sip regularly, especially before and after your dip. Don’t wait until you’re really thirsty because by then, your body is already running low on fluids.
Bring extra clothes
A hot spring visit is all about getting wet, so one of the most important tips is to pack fresh clothes. Wearing damp clothes afterward is uncomfortable and can even lead to health issues like skin irritation, chills, colds, or, in extreme cases, hypothermia.
Sure, you could buy clothes nearby, but expect the prices to be double the usual. Better to come prepared so you can head home feeling cozy!
Don’t forget your toiletries
Even though you’ve “bathed” in natural hot spring water, you’ll still want to rinse off with regular water before heading home.
Hot springs are public spaces, so it’s best to wash away any bacteria or impurities that might linger. Bring your own toiletries such as soap, shampoo, a towel, and so on, because not every hot spring offers complete or clean amenities.
Visit in the morning or late afternoon
Soaking in hot water under the blazing midday sun? Not exactly the most relaxing idea.
For the best experience, visit in the morning, late afternoon, or early evening when the air is cooler. Mornings are often quieter, giving you that peaceful “private pool” vibe with birdsong in the background.
If mornings feel too early, late afternoon is also perfect, especially after a full day of sightseeing. Tired muscles plus warm water equals the ultimate relaxation combo!
Go on a weekday
Weekends are prime time for visitors, which means bigger crowds. If you’re after peace, plan your trip on a weekday. It’s not just more relaxing, you’ll also have more freedom to take photos from all the best angles without waiting for your turn!
Choose a private pool
If available and you want maximum comfort without distractions, a private pool is worth the extra cost. These pools are usually reserved for one person or group at a time, with fresh hot water prepared just for you. Not only is it quieter, but it’s often cleaner than the public pools.
