Popular sunset
points across the world attract visitors in big numbers
Look closely at the world’s
leading resorts and retreats that offer romance on a platter and you will find
smart options for sunrise and sunset viewing points.
Here are some:
ROMANCE IS IN THE AIR
ROMANTIC SUNSET SPA
Region: Fiji
Fiji’s numerous vistas of crystal clear waters on
clear sandy beaches are inviting indeed. Experience what it would be like to
own a private island for a day; charter
a helicopter or seaplane to reach the most far flung of them all,
and touchdown on a remote deserted island to enjoy an intimate champagne beach picnic for
two (with a friendly hermit crab
for company). Indulge at one of Fiji’s lavish spas, or arrange an
exquisite candlelit dinner to share with your special one. There are
numerous fine dining options here.
From exclusive resorts to luxurious private villas and quaint little beachside
bures, watch the sunset with a perfect setting all around. Fijian hospitality is one that
can’t be missed.
ON TAHITI TIME
BORA BORA WANDERLUST
Region: Papeete Harbour, Tahiti
in French Polynesia
Bora Bora may have sprung up in your wishlist when
luxury and romance was on top of your agenda. Indeed, this destination offers amazing
exclusivity. This celebrated island in the South Pacific is French Polynesia’s leading resort
stretch. Internationally acclaimed as a honeymoon destination, couples head
here to make the most of what this destination can offer. During your visit, plan
a sunset cruise where the boat drops you off to a point where canoeing and rowing is apt.
Later, your cruise boat shall pick you up and get you back to the vantage point
of the jetty where a champagne spread awaits as you watch the setting South Pacific sun. The boat trip can
also take you around the most spectacular views all over Bora Bora’s lagoon. At
the end of the sunset cruise, head for a relaxing spa and top it with a delicious candle light dinner.
SANTORINI SUNSET
SUNSET VIEWS IN OIA & FIRA
Region: Santorini
There seems to be a constant tussle between the town
of Oia and Fira to hold the title of being the best sunset vantage point. While
Oia is certainly picturesque with its narrow streets, it does have a charming
appeal that makes it perfect as a wedding destination too (couples exchange
vows during sunset). The sky, sea as well as the signature white houses offer a panoramic feel around sunset
time as the amber tint spreads across.
On the other hand, Fira being the capital city of
Santorini draws many visitors to view the sunset. Fira too is typified by white
small houses and white churches with blue cupolas built on the caldera. The narrow streets have
quaint markets where you can shop
for souvenirs, clothes, food items and local drinks. Some eateries have
decorated little terraces that work as a sunset point. Sip on some
refreshing Greek wine as
you see the sun go down and share your magical pictures with friends later.
Compliments are sure to follow, we assure you.
BHUTAN AHOY! TREK UP TIGER’S
NEST
Region: Paro, Bhutan
The Tiger’s Nest Monastery is a sacred Buddhist site
located near Paro in Bhutan. This religious and heritage site has immense spiritual significance for
Buddhists. The Taktsang Monastery (also
called Tiger’s Nest) got its name due to a legend. It was constructed in 1692,
around the cave where Guru Rinpoche first meditated, the event that introduced
Buddhism into Bhutan. There is a legend that Guru Rinpoche was carried from Tibet to this location on the
back of a tigress, thus giving it the name ‘Tiger’s Nest’.
A trek here is a fabulous experience that can indeed
test your fitness levels. However, once you gain the tempo with other trekkers,
you will feel blessed to have headed to the top of the cliff and watch the
sunset amidst the fluttering prayer
flags.
