Best Time and Spots to Watch the Sunset at 10/10 Pool Bar

Sunset in Yogyakarta typically occurs between 5:30 PM and 6:30 PM, depending on the time of year. To have the best experience, we recommend you to arrive at least one hour before sunset. This way, you can choose a suitable spot to enjoy the atmosphere before the peak moment.

Here are some recommended spots at the 10/10 Pool Bar for watching the sunset:

1. Poolside Area

Sitting by the poolside while chatting with friends or a partner is a refreshing way to enjoy the sunset view. Moreover, you can feel the gentle breeze as you wait for the sun to set.

2. Bean Bag Sofa

We have several cozy bean bag sofas in the open green space. This spot is ideal for witnessing the transformation of the sky’s colors during sunset into shades of orange or amber.

3. 10/10 Pool Bar Terrace

If you want to enjoy food and drinks while waiting for the sunset, choose a table in the corridor of the 10/10 Pool Bar. From here, you can enjoy the beautiful and calming atmosphere.

Photography Tips for Capturing the Sunset Moment

Sunset moments are the perfect time to capture the beauty of nature. Here are some photography tips you can use to seize the sky’s beauty at our rooftop pool bar:

1. Ensure the Right Sunset Moment

As the sun sets, the sky often changes to shades of pink, purple, and blue. Make sure you are ready with your camera to snap this beauty.

2. Find the Best Angle and Pay Attention to Composition

Ensure you find the right spot or angle to take photos of the sunset atmosphere. Additionally, try to include other elements in your photos, such as the pool or the silhouette of buildings in the background. Use the rule of thirds to create an interesting composition.

3. Experiment with Silhouettes

As the sun begins to set, you can try taking silhouette photos. Position your subject in front of the sun and adjust the exposure, so that the subject appears dark. This will create a dramatic effect in your photos.
