Beyond the infinity pools and crowded beach clubs lies Bali's true aquatic treasures—natural swimming holes of extraordinary beauty and spiritual significance. These hidden gems, from crystalline jungle pools fed by waterfalls to sacred spring-water basins and volcanic hot springs, offer transformative experiences in unspoiled settings where local Balinese have revered these purifying waters for centuries. Each pool has its own character—some with exhilarating cascades, others providing serene mineral-rich waters, and a few challenging adventurous swimmers with hidden caves and natural water slides formed by centuries of flowing water.
