Yes, and it can be found at the Kinabalu National Park!

The Poring Hot Spring and Nature Reserve houses both open-air and private cabin baths with water containing sulphur; known for skin-curative and therapeutic properties. The natural hot spring is perfect to soothe tired and aching muscles, especially for the heroic mountaineers of Mount Kinabalu.
