Mud Pools & Therapeutic Hot Springs

If you’re searching for an unusual way to relax in Fiji, nothing beats the Mud Pools and Therapeutic Hot Springs. Located off a side road near the base of the Sabeto Mountains, this natural experience is one of the best-kept secrets in Fiji. This is more than simply leisure. It has been personally experiencing traditional wellness for hundreds of years, surrounded by nature.

The warm mud surrounds the body from head to toe, and then you wash yourself off in the hot springs with the sounds and sights of nature around you. It is not only enjoyable, but it is also known for its healing and rejuvenating qualities, leaving your skin feeling soft, fresh, and radiant.

Why Visit the Mud Pools & Hot Springs?

1. A Spa Treatment from Nature

The mineral-rich mud is said to cleanse impurities from skin, help stimulate circulation, and offer that natural glow. Local Fijians have been using these pools for generations, and now it has become a simple tourism attraction, allowing people from all corners of the world to experience such a powerful yet simple beauty ritual.

2. Relaxation with a bit of Adventure

What I love about the mud pool experience is that it is completely hands-on and different from other spas. You get to literally play with nature. Slather on the mud, let it dry under the warm Fijian sun, and then go get in the hot springs to rinse it off. It is therapeutic and enjoyable, and something you will remember for a lifetime.

3. Fun for Everyone

Couples love it for the romantic and playful atmosphere, families enjoy it for a fun bonding activity, and solo travelers enjoy it for a peaceful getaway from their travels. If you want either relaxation or a unique adventure, the mud pools are a must-see experience!

The Experience Step by Step

  • Mud Application – Cover yourself in warm, silky mud from the natural pool. Apply as much as you want! The more mud, the better.
  • Drying Off – Then let the mud dry in the sun. This allows your skin to absorb a majority of the minerals and allows you to take some fun pics!
  • Hot Springs Dip – After the mud dries, rinse off in the natural thermal hot springs. The warm water should loosen your muscles and leave you with a renewed sense of energy and fullness.
  • Repeat if you want – A lot of people will go through the mud experience more than once, it is just that relaxing.
