Wailea, Maui, home of Destination Resorts Hawaii and Wailea Beach Villas, recently was listed among the top five places for an incredible sunset by www.travelvacationsonline.com. Noted first on the list, Wailea was recognized as “the perfect island setting where a person can really enjoy nature and revel in an exquisite sunset.”  Nearby Haleakala, a dormant volcano, was noted for its incredible vantage point for amazing views of sunsets. To experience this great view, guests can book at one of the collection’s beachfront condominiums at Destination Resorts Hawaii or select ultra-luxury accommodations at Wailea Beach Villas.

Destination also offers a variety of distinctive settings to watch the sunset – some traditional beachside locales and others, unique places that light up when the sun fall beyond the horizon.

•    Located on a peninsula along the Southern California coastline, Terranea Resort provides one of the most unique settings to watch the sun fall into the Pacific Ocean as the sun both rises and sets over the property. One of the best locations to watch the sunset at Terranea is Nelson’s restaurant located directly above the ocean offering a fun, casual setting to end the day.
•    Another great oceanside destination is L’Auberge Del Mar in San Diego. The Waterfall Terrace and Bleu Bar provide great vantage points for toasting the day’s end. Or, walk to the beach and wrap up in a cozy blanket to enjoy watching the sky light up with color as the sun goes beyond the horizon.
•    A destination that isn’t often thought of for sunsets is the Rocky Mountains. Whether in Vail at Manor Vail Lodge or in Aspen staying at The Gant, guests can watch the mountains light up with hues of blue, purple and red on a clear night when the sun drops beyond the peaks to the West.

Sunsets aren’t the only special way to end the day at Destination Hotels & Resorts properties. The collection offers a number of great restaurants, bars and casual settings that provide a great atmosphere for winding down the day.
