Geno Hot Spring

The Geno Protected Area and its hot spring are among the most popular attractions in Bandar Abbas, located a short distance from the city. The area's beautiful natural setting, together with facilities such as a swimming pool, an amusement park and a restaurant, draws many visitors to Geno from all over the province. Hot springs have long been popular, and their therapeutic properties have always attracted attention. With the growth of the tourism industry, these springs have become tourist destinations, and as they have developed, each one has turned into a well-equipped complex.

The Geno Protected Area has diverse vegetation. Plants that grow here include maidenhair fern, fragrant fern, milkvetch (Astragalus), cumin, thyme, yarrow and Rezuk. It is said that 360 species of vascular plants are found in this area. Mehrkhosh, Vendelio almond and rock primrose are plants that grow exclusively in this part of Iran. This attraction has become a natural habitat for many herbivorous and carnivorous animals such as hares, wild goats, gazelles, foxes, hyenas and jackals, and it is of great environmental importance.

The Geno recreation area enjoys a pleasant climate, which makes it possible to visit even in the hottest months of the year. However, if you want to travel to Bandar Abbas and visit this place in the best weather conditions, choose winter for your trip.

The spring has two relatively large pools, one for women and one for men, equipped with facilities such as several small porches where travellers can rest and stay, and places that sell drinks and other items. The area around the spring is full of beautiful, green palm trees. After leaving the pools, the spring's runoff flows like a small river and, after several kilometres, with a fairly large volume of water, drops down as a small waterfall.
