3 weeks in Bali, Indonesia- 5/28- 6/15/2024

Day 15- Dinner at Sunset point, Amed-6/10/2024

For dinner, we walked from The Santai Hotel to Sunset Point, and the setting could not have been better. Perched right along the coast, it’s one of those places where the view becomes just as important as the food or drinks.  Sunset point in Amed is famous for its dramatic, layered sunset views that combine sea, sky, mountains, and design into one unforgettable scene. What really sets it apart is how the experience unfolds over time rather than ending when the sun disappears.

As the sun began to set, the sky shifted through layers of color. Walking up to the upper level of the restaurant, the view opens up even more dramatically.  In the background you can see Mount Agung rising majestically.

From this higher vantage point, you can see the coastline stretching out below, with the sea extending endlessly toward the horizon. The light changes during sunset, the colors feel richer and more expansive.

Below the upper deck is the middle section, centered around a striking infinity pool. You get unobstructed views of the Bali Sea, with the horizon stretching wide and open

 The pool blends seamlessly into the view, its edge visually merging with the water beyond, creating the illusion that the pool spills directly into the sea. It’s a beautiful focal point that draws your eye outward and downward at the same time.

At the lowest level, tables are set right along the edge with completely unobstructed views of the Bali Sea.

The view here is so impressive from the upper deck

View from the upper deck.

The sky is so pretty with a soft orange hue.

We really enjoyed sitting here to watch the sun setting in the horizon.

It is getting darker and the color of the sky is also changing.

I can sit here everyday to watch the sunset.

First the sky shifted through layers of color and then it started with a soft orange glow near the horizon, then deepened into a bright, fiery orange as the sun dipped lower.

Soft music played throughout the space, setting an easy, relaxed mood, and people hanging around to watch the sunset. It wasn’t loud or distracting, just enough to blend with the sound of the sea and the low hum of conversation.

Slowly, that warmth faded into a calm, beautiful blue as evening settled in. The colors reflected off the water, and the dark volcanic sand and silhouettes of boats along the shore made the scene even more dramatic.

I never seen such a beautiful sunset! The way the sky transforms from warm oranges into deep blues, followed by ambient lighting in white, purple, and soft orange that takes over after dark.

Watching the sunset from there felt unhurried and immersive, the kind of moment where you naturally pause mid-conversation just to take it all in. With the sea stretching out in front and the sky changing minute by minute, Sunset Point truly lives up to its name.

In the middle level, people lingered in the infinity pool, their silhouettes framed against the horizon as they quietly watched the sunset, glasses resting on the pool’s edge, time slowing almost without notice.

As the light faded, the sky transformed into something I had never seen before.

The colors deepened into a rich, deep blue, far more intense than the usual twilight. As darkness settled in, lights began projecting upward, glowing in clean white and soft purple, while warmer orange lights glowed closer to the ground. Against the darkening sky, the contrast was stunning, the lights felt almost theatrical, yet still elegant.

Simply beautiful.

It is now dark, and you can see the moon above.

The combination of music, water, silhouettes, and color made the whole scene feel surreal and unforgettable. It wasn’t just a sunset, it felt like a carefully layered experience, one that stayed with you long after the sky had fully darkened.
