Cipanas (Indonesian pronunciation: [tʃipanas]) is a town in Cipanas district, in the northern part of the Cianjur Regency, West Java, Indonesia.[1] It is situated in the valley of Mount Gede, 86 kilometres (53 mi) south-east of the Indonesian capital city of Jakarta. The name of the town means "hot water" or "hot spring" in Sundanese (ci, water; panas, hot), due to the presence of sulphuric hot springs in the area.
Apart from the hot springs, Cipanas was also a hill station for the then Dutch East Indies Governor-Generals, as it was a popular getaway from the intense heat and humidity from the low-lying lands area (including Jakarta). Maintaining its legacy to present day, Cipanas continues to become a popular destination for holiday seekers mainly coming from Jakarta and its surroundings, as the district saw a recent boom on villa complexes and rental houses.
The town had a population of 15,435 at the 2010 Census (the district held a population of 103,911). It is best known by the Cipanas Palace complex, a residence for former Dutch Governor Generals of the Dutch East Indies, and a country retreat of former president, Sukarno. Since the Dutch colonial rule, and before the Enhanced Indonesian Spelling System was established, the town name was spelled Tjipanas.[2]
