The geothermal water at this site contains high sulfur concentrations, which is typical for the volcanic geology of the Lampung region.
The water temperature remains consistently warm to hot throughout the year due to geothermal activity rather than seasonal ambient weather changes.
Unlike commercial luxury spas, the basins are built directly into the ground level, maintaining a rustic and utilitarian aesthetic.
The surrounding terrain is part of the Natar district, an area historically significant for its agricultural output before tourism development began.
