Flavors of Boracay: A Gin and Tonic and a Sunset at Movenpick Resort & Spa Boracay

What's your cocktail of choice for a magnificent sunset by the beach?

A classic Old-Fashioned or simply an ice-cold beer, everyone has their own choice of libation to enjoy the sunset. At the Sol Marina Beach Club of the elegant Movenpick Resort & Spa Boracay, I'll go for a refreshing Gin & Tonic and rest my trusty Old-Fashioned for the moment...

Maybe it's the warm tropical clime or the dazzling glare of the setting sun, but a Gin & Tonic with its light and crisp notes seemed to be the perfect choice. But when you're at Movenpick Resort & Spa, any cocktail would still be an excellent choice. Nestled on a gently sloping hill leading to a private beach, the expansive 312 room and suite property offers some of the best views of Boracay's famous sunset. The impressive multi-level pool is just one many unique attractions found at Movenpick Resort & Spa Boracay...

Then, there's the outdoor bar. Movenpick Resort & Spa Boracay's open air Sol Marina Beach Club is the perfect spot for both a soothing cocktail and a seat to a dramatic sunset.  

At the bar, cocktails for the group were prepared...

...while I pick a spot with my Gin & Tonic.

And there's so many to choose from, but the best part is near the bar.

Don't be tempted to dive in the pool just yet, though it's also a good spot. Have another G & T, and nature's show is about to begin... 

In one final dramatic blaze, the setting sun bows out on the distant horizon...

...leaving an ethereal afterglow with a palette of vibrant hues.

The day's end is as spectacular as the way it started, leaving a memorable canvas filled with color.

Then again, this is Boracay where this happens everyday. That calls for another round of drinks, don't you think?

Light and crisp, sweet with a subtle tartness, a Gin & Tonic is the way to go with Boracay's epic sunset. Boracay's reopening is just in time for summer (for more on Boracay's reopening, see my post on my other travel blog, Summer's Back On Track at Boracay's White House Beach Resort).

Good company and a whole lot of good vibes. For Movenpick Resort & Spa Boracay General Manager Andre Brulhart (third from left), it's just another day in paradise. For me, it's one more reason why Boracay is special. Cheers!
