Pemandian Air Panas Way Belerang is a volcanic hot spring destination situated at the base of Mount Rajabasa in South Lampung. The site features multiple natural pools containing sulfur-rich mineral water known for its distinct yellowish hue and therapeutic properties for skin conditions.

The area is maintained by the local government as a regional public recreational site.
The elevated stone steps overlooking the main swimming pool provide a clear view of the water's steam against the forest backdrop.
Bring a change of clothes and a towel as on-site rental quality may vary.
