During a relaxing weekend getaway it is often challenging to get up to see the sunrise. Five or six days every week you have to get up early and go through the same old routine. If you feel guilty catching a few extra hours of sleep on a weekend trip – you shouldn’t because these beach sunsets will transform your guilt into pure pleasure.

1. San Juan Beach, Siquijor Island, Philippines

San Juan Beach is quietly located on the south western coast of stunning Siquijor Island in the Visayas region of the Philippines. Considering that it is only 12 km from the Siquijor pier via the Siquijor Circumferential Road, San Juan Beach is extremely laid back with relatively low tourist numbers. It is the perfect place to watch the sun slowly set beside Apo Island in the distance as you crack a few coconuts on the empty beach.

2. Pantai Cenang, Langkawi Island, Malaysia

Pantai Cenang is the most developed beach on duty-free Langkawi Island. Although many domestic and international tourists come to Langkawi in order to enjoy the rock bottom prices of alcohol and chocolates, the sunset at Pantai Cenang only adds to the appeal of this island. After a day of shopping, island hopping or navigating Langkawi by moto there is no better way to end your day than to relax on Pantai Cenang. As the sun gently touches the water of the Malacca Strait beside Pulau Rebak Besar and Pulau Rebak Kechil shades of purple and orange fill the sky.

3. Kuta Beach, Bali, Indonesia

It would be hard to imagine a sunset witnessed by more people in South East Asia than at Kuta Beach. The beach transforms into a community in the late afternoon. Locals and tourists both flock to the sand in order to watch a sunset to truly remember. It seems to take forever for the sun to disappear, but when it does the streets get energized by tourists who want to play an active role in Kuta’s famous nightlife.
