Mainit Hot Spring is a natural thermal spring located in Barangay Montaneza, Malabuyoc in southern Cebu, Philippines. The spring features warm sulfuric waters channeled into developed concrete pools surrounded by forested hills and rural landscape. Managed as a local community attraction, it is known for its warm temperature and reputed therapeutic properties. The site offers a simple, rustic bathing experience and is visited for relaxation and wellness by locals and travelers exploring southern Cebu.

Visitors can expect a rustic, open-air hot spring complex set in a hilly, forested area of Montaneza. Warm, slightly sulfuric water flows into one or more concrete pools of varying depth and temperature where visitors can soak and bathe. The surroundings are rural and quiet with views of hills and vegetation. Facilities are basic, including cottages and changing areas. The experience is focused on bathing, relaxation and picnicking rather than resort-style amenities.

Locally valued as a natural wellness resource, the spring is traditionally believed by residents to have therapeutic benefits for muscle pain and skin conditions and serves as a community gathering and leisure spot for Malabuyoc residents.
