Itinerary
Arrive at Toya Devasya, check in and choose between public pools or a private pool/villa.
Bring confirmation if you pre-booked. Reception can advise on pool temperatures and available packages.
Start with a short soak in a communal pool to acclimatize to the water temperature.
Limit initial soak to 10–15 minutes if water is very hot. Drink water between soaks.
Move to a private pool (if booked) or continue alternating between pools for a deeper relaxation.
Private pools offer more privacy and lake views — ideal for couples or families. No soap/shampoo in pools unless designated spa areas.

Spa treatments are by appointment and may require additional fee.
Shower/change and consider visiting nearby viewpoints or proceed to Mount Batur trek start if timed.

Check with staff before soaking if you have cardiovascular conditions, high blood pressure, pregnancy, diabetes, or other serious medical issues.
Avoid long continuous exposure to hot water; limit to 10–20 minutes per soak and cool down between sessions.
Stay hydrated — drink water before, during, and after soaking.
Supervise children at all times; some pools may be deep.
Avoid alcohol before or during hot-soak sessions to reduce risk of fainting or dehydration.
Tips
Book a private pool in advance if you want privacy or plan to visit during peak season.
Arrive early morning for cooler temperatures, fewer visitors, and clearer views of Mount Batur.
Bring swimwear, a change of clothes, and flip-flops; towels are often provided but check in advance.
Combine your soak with a Mount Batur sunrise trek (start very early) or a visit to a local coffee plantation.
Bring cash (IDR) for small purchases; some small vendors may not accept cards.
Respect local rules: avoid using soap in soaking pools and follow staff guidance on pool use and hygiene.
If you want photos, ask staff about best viewpoints — the lakeside and terraces are particularly photogenic.
