Travelling is a magical thing to do. You see and experience the most precious things around you. Sunset is one of those best things you can get while travelling. Although we’re all looking at the same sun every day, no sunset is the same and no venue is the same. So every sunset, even the smallest one, is another gift.
Bali is richly stocked with killer sunset venues. Be it at the beach or in the middle of paddy field, all you need to do is just settle into a comfy sofa or wiggle your toes under the sand while Mother Nature struts her stuff. Order a colourful cocktail and watch candy floss colours streak across the sky, or grab a cold Corona while the horizon turns a raging red – either way, you’re in for a natural light show to remember.
Most travellers go to the southern coast to capture the best angle of sunset. In Kuta, Sunset Point at Hard Rock Hotel Bali is the place to simply kick back and relax. This is an animated and trendy lounge where skilled ‘barockers’ concoct great cocktails with a twist plus bite selections from the chef’s kitchen.

Still facing at the same Kuta Beach, The Stones Legian’s Autograph Suite Room is a perfect formula if you are looking for a private sunset spot.
