The Top Evening Experiences Around The World

When the sun goes down

A day in paradise doesn't have to end when the sun dips out of view. A world of starlit and spellbinding nocturnal adventures awaits in luxury destinations all around the world that are only unveiled as the evening arrives. From stargazing to night snorkelling, these are the activities that help you discover even more magic.

The Maldives by Moonlight

Fringed with coral reefs, and home to traditional thatched roof accommodation, Four Seasons Resort Maldives at Kuda Huraa is a tropical paradise. With the sun's rays dousing the island, there is a lot to discover during the day: powder-soft sands, friendly sea life and crystal-clear waters that are perfect for sailing, snorkelling or surfing.
Evenings at The Night Spa offer even more after-hours relaxation in a scene of tranquillity as its treetop terrace setting lifts you up towards the stars. Here, under the night sky, the Secrets of the Sea ritual teaches your body to find calm and attune to the ocean's rhythm with treatments that incorporate the power of water.

Lighting Up Uluru

Australia's sacred site of Uluru has always been said to have magical qualities, but the internationally acclaimed Field of Light display brings this to life. Created by celebrated artist Bruce Munro, the installation adds a colourful glow to the dark desert landscape through 50,000 glass spheres. It invites you into an immersive experience, walking through a swathe of fantastical spectrums.

Barbados' Serene Sunsets

Perched 1,000 ft above sea level, Apes Hill Barbados Golf Resort offers stunning views of both the Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea. Set on one of the island's most remarkable vantage points, enjoy sun-soaked golf by day and serene sunsets perfect for yoga at one of the highest peaks. Enhance your wellness journey with hiking, tennis and padel across this expansive, picturesque resort.

A Spectacular Show

Polynesian culture is just as entrancing as the astounding landscapes that the islands offer, with a captivating connection to its heritage and ancestors. As night falls upon the island of Tahiti you can get closer to this with a traditional dance show, the 'ori Tahiti. Performed after sunset with traditional music, vegetal costumes and sometimes even fire dancing, the 'ori Tahiti is a cultural showcase.

An Evening With Thailand's Elephants

Anantara Golden Triangle Elephant Camp & Resort is Chiang Rai's beautiful reinvention of wild luxury. Looking out across Thailand's Mekong and Ruak Rivers and into the infamous Golden Triangle region, this is an elegant and enchanting stay. The resort's transparent Jungle Bubbles invite you to spend an unforgettable night observing Thailand's majestic elephants as they roam their natural habitat around you.

Dominica's Nighttime Discovery

Artfully combining sustainability and natural splendour with truly luxurious living, Secret Bay is perfectly positioned on Dominica's secluded coastline for outdoor adventures. Only unveiled at night is a whole other side to the island, and the night snorkelling excursion allows you to get an extraordinary experience of it. Use lights to discover nocturnal fish, lobsters and eels, and play in the bioluminescent water.

The Desert After Dark

The enchanting city of Scottsdale combines the boundless beauty of Arizona's desert with everlasting memories. Whilst the region offers 300 days of sunshine each year, the nights are just as spectacular. Flashlight Nights at Desert Botanical Garden immerses the whole family in the captivating energy of Scottsdale at night, with plenty of family-friendly activities like examining animal tracks and exploring greenhouses.

The Largest Light in Las Vegas

Despite being in a city known for its neon lights, Las Vegas' latest entertainment phenomenon, Sphere, has become an instant icon. It's said that the best time to see the world's highest-resolution screen is just after the sun goes down, lighting up the strip with hypnotic projections, amusing animations and exciting broadcasts.

Island Illuminations

An exceptional stay on the stunning island of Grenada, Silversands Beach House is a serene sanctuary that invites you to explore the wonders of its setting. Among these is the ultra-enchanting evening excursion of night kayaking. Take to the water on a colourfully illuminated transparent kayak to reveal a one-of-a-kind view of the ocean beneath you.

An Epicurean Evening

Mexico's Caribbean coast is a stunning setting for a relaxing retreat, and Grand Velas Riviera Maya certainly lives up to that reputation. This all-inclusive resort makes dining easy at any time, but the warm Mexican evenings here are perfectly paired with the atmospheric bars. Enjoy a sunset cocktail with ocean views at Sky Bar, dine on Michelin-starred cuisine at Cocina de Autor or dance the night away in Koi Bar.

Nature at Night

Surrounded by so much beauty, it comes as no surprise that Royal River takes inspiration from nature. Immersing guests in the tropics and promising an exclusive stay with a mellow ambience, the resort perfectly blends style with serenity. Whilst the essence of the resort already brings you closer to nature, a stargazing experience lets you make the most of Tenerife's Starlight-certified clear skies.
