Maha Oya Hot Springs

Rare natural hot springs

One of very few naturally occurring hot spring sites in Sri Lanka, where warm mineral water rises through several small pools.

Simple, local setting

The springs remain a low-key, community-used site rather than a polished spa resort, giving a more authentic local experience.

Plan your visit

The springs sit in Sri Lanka's central-eastern region, best combined with wider Cultural Triangle sightseeing.
