Is there anything better than watching the sun melt into the horizon on holiday? That golden glow, the sky putting on its best show, and the total ahhhh moment when all your worries just drift away. It’s the perfect excuse to hit pause, soak in the beauty around you, and maybe even snap that postcard-worthy pic.

With that in mind, we’ve rounded up some of the most epic spots to catch the sunset. Whether with family, friends, or newfound travel companions, these are the places where day meets night, and memories are made.

Named after Hollywood’s most infamous shark movie, there’s nothing scary about Jaws Beach. With the clearest of turquoise waters and golden sand beaches, catching the sunset through the trees is a sight that’s nothing short of magical. As the sky bursts into colour, you’ll understand why we just had to name our linen jackets after this dreamy spot.

When it comes to sunsets, few places rival the sheer drama of the Grand Canyon. As the sun sinks low, the canyon’s towering rock formations ignite in shades of fiery red, dusty pink, and burnt orange. With 1.2 million acres of jaw-dropping views, you’ve got plenty of options to watch the sunset, but Mather Point, Rim East of Mather Point, and Yavapai Point are the ultimate front-row seats.

Stretching out for nearly two-thirds of a mile, Mākena Beach is Maui’s untouched showstopper. Framed by dramatic black lava outcroppings, it’s blissfully wind-free, making those sunset views over Molokini and Kahoʻolawe all the more magical. Trust us, this is the kind of place where you’ll want to linger just a little longer.

Tucked away on the dreamy island of Sumba, Nihi Sumba is an adventurer’s paradise—perfect for explorers, wanderers, and anyone with a curious spirit. Whether you’re riding waves, trekking lush trails, or just soaking up island vibes, this place is all about leaving you feeling refreshed, recharged, and ready for more. And what better way to wrap up your day than catching the sunset on their stunning beachfront?

One of the most important archaeological sites of Southeast Asia, Cambodia’s Angkor Wat is a breathtaking Hindhu-Buddhist temple. And while it’s incredible any time of day, there’s something extra magical about seeing it bathed in the golden glow of sunset. For the best view in the house, head to Phnom Bakheng and watch as Angkor Wat’s silhouette lights up against the fiery sky. It’s one of those pinch-me moments you’ll never forget!

Consistently ranked as one of the world’s best beaches (and for good reason!), Eagle Beach is famous for its soft white sand, Fofoti trees and nesting sea turtles. Is there anything more magical than watching the sun dip low, painting the sky in dreamy hues, as baby turtles make their journey down to the waves?

Set among dramatic wilderness where leopards roam free, SUJÁN JAWA is the safari camp of dreams. Imagine relaxing in your own private heated pool as you watch the sunset across the breathtaking landscape.

Accessible only by boat, Railay Beach in Thailand feels like a secret hideaway—a secluded paradise of powdery white sand, crystal-clear waters, and dramatic limestone cliffs. As the sun dips below the horizon, the beach transforms into a serene haven where time slows, and nature takes centre stage. It’s the kind of place where the stresses of the world simply dissolve, leaving you with that blissful feeling only a sunset like this can bring.
