Situated within the heart of the bustling capital, Manila Bay offers a unique tranquility amidst the vibrant chaos of the metro. At the end of each day, its famed sunset transforms the horizon into a captivating burst of color that continues to draw the attention of locals and visitors alike. It is little wonder that Manila Bay’s sunset has been ranked in the Sunset Index as one of the most beautiful in the world. [1]  

Despite the ever-changing landscape and occasional obstructions brought about by the continued urban development in certain areas, the iconic Roxas Boulevard remains the perfect vantage point to soak in uncompromised vistas of Manila’s world-famous sunset. Here are the best ways to experience the stunning allure of Manila Bay’s world-class sunsets: 

Go for a Scenic Run Along Manila Baywalk

For those who enjoy an active lifestyle, The Manila Baywalk bask is the perfect setting to enjoy the iconic scenery while getting an energizing workout. This two-kilometer promenade extends from the CCP Complex to the US Embassy adjacent to Rizal Park, providing ample space to enjoy an evening run while watching the sunset. Recently renovated and newly fitted with exercise machines to encourage movement, your next workout along the Baywalk is sure to refresh both body and spirit. 

Immerse Yourself in Art at the CCP Complex

The Cultural Center of the Philippines offers the unique opportunity to immerse yourself in both art and natural beauty. Here, you can explore the latest works by the country’s most renowned artists through insightful indoor exhibitions or grand outdoor installations – all set against the painterly hues of the Manila Bay sunset. As the day turns to evening, you might even catch a live performance at any of the indoor and outdoor performance spaces around the complex. Finally, cap off the day with your favorite coffee al fresco at the nearby Harbor Square, which directly fronts the calm waters of Manila Bay. 

Host a Gathering on a Private Yacht at The Manila Yacht Club

Few things are as magical as appreciating the sunset views right on the water. At the renowned Manila Yacht Club, the country’s premier club for yachting and sailing enthusiasts, you can enjoy the unparalleled experience of sailing into the sunset. Members of the prestigious Yacht Club can enjoy exclusive access to the club’s offerings, including elegant private function rooms and top-notch food and beverage service. However, guests or non-members may still charter a yacht for special occasions. Whether you plan to host an intimate gathering or a large evening party, celebrating with your loved ones as you glide along the bay’s calm waters is sure to be an unforgettable experience. 

Savor A Delectable Dinner on an Exclusive Cruise 

For those who appreciate fine dining as much as breathtaking views, a private dinner cruise offers the perfect blend of both. You and your loved ones can step aboard a luxurious yacht and enjoy a carefully curated dinner menu, all while taking in the stunning seascapes of Manila Bay. With personalized service attending to every detail, you can simply sit back, savor your favorite dishes, and enjoy the sweet sounds of live entertainment—all set against the backdrop of a brilliant sunset.

Enjoy Your Favorite Cocktail at Coconut Grove Rooftop Pool Bar 

One of the most refreshing ways to cap off a long day is to marvel at the sunset with a cool drink in hand. At The Coconut Grove, Admiral Hotel’s signature poolside bar, you can enjoy just that. Dance to the rhythmic beats of the in-house DJs, savor their specialty-crafted cocktails, and indulge in their delectable tapas and bar bites – all while taking in the dazzling panoramic views of the sunset.
