Asin Hot Springs

Asin Hot Springs is a natural thermal spring attraction located in Nangalisan, Tuba, Benguet, along Asin Road northwest of Baguio City. It consists of several privately operated resorts built around naturally heated pools fed by geothermal waters along the Asin River. Notable for its warm, mineral-rich waters believed to have therapeutic properties, it is a long-established day-trip destination for bathing and relaxation in a forested mountain valley setting.

Visitors can expect a cluster of resorts along the Asin River offering concrete pools of varying temperatures fed by natural hot springs. The setting is a narrow, forested valley with river views and mountain surroundings. Facilities typically include open-air pools, private pools, cottages and gazebos for rent, changing areas and food stalls. Visitors bathe and soak in warm waters, swim, and relax in day-use areas. Each resort operates separately with its own pools and fees.

Asin Hot Springs has been known since the early 20th century and was developed during the American colonial period as a health and recreational resort due to its geothermal waters. The springs along the Asin River were harnessed into bathing pools and have since been operated as a collection of private resorts serving visitors from Baguio and La Union.

The springs are valued locally for their perceived therapeutic and wellness benefits and form part of the traditional leisure and wellness culture of the Baguio-Tuba area, serving as a long-standing communal bathing and family outing destination.
