FIVE PLACES TO SEE A PERFECT SUNSET

Namibia

Huge tracts of sand, preferably with dunes on the horizon, lend themselves to the process of capturing the perfect sunset. Seek out a higher viewpoint, suggests travel photographer Teagan Cunniffe: try organising a hot-air balloon ride. Explore (01252 240701; explore.co. uk) offers an 11-night Namibia Lodge Safari for £2,460pp, including most meals, accommodation and excursions, but not flights

Santorini

The Greek island is the backdrop to Kirsty McCabe’s most memorable sunset. “Everyone rushes to the top of a caldera to look over and watch; that is lovely with the drink in hand.” Tui (020 3451 2688; tui.co.uk) offers seven-nights at the Majestic Hotel (with views of the caldera) from £1,105pp, including flights

Cape Town

The city, where Teagan Cunniffe has lived, is heading for winter, the natural season for sunset views. Try the Leopard Bar at 12 Apostles Hotel and Spa. Kuoni (0800 294 9705; kuoni.co.uk) offers four nights at the 12 Apostles from £1,595pp, including flights

Cornwall

Photographer and West Country resident Justin Foulkes says Cornwall is best for sunset-spotting in the UK. The Bedruthan Steps or any of the beaches near Newquay are “hard to beat”. Sawdays (0117 204 7810; sawdays.co.uk) offers Beacon Cottage in Port Isaac from £95 per night, and sleeps three

Maluku Islands, Indonesia

This is top of the sunset list for photographer Frédéric Lagrange. Experience Travel Group (020 3993 8739; experiencetravel group.com) has a 19-night Sulawesi & the Spice Islands tour from £6,500pp, including flights and accommodation
