Forget the 'Sunrise War' of Humans: TOP 3 'Secret Sunset' Spots to Bid Farewell to 2025

Every year on December 31st, humans across the globe are noisy with excitement, welcoming the coming year. From Sydney’s fireworks to the countdown in New York, their civilization is obsessed with lighting up the world to drive away the darkness. But for us, who live through the eons, true peace exists in that mysterious blue twilight—the moment immediately after the light perishes.

2025 was a year of exceptionally high UV indices. It is now time to peacefully send that scorching star beyond the horizon. Vampire Now has curated a selection of ‘Secret Sunset Spots’ from around the world that remain untouched by human tourists, preserving a primordial silence. Pack your passport and a sufficient supply of blood packs; it’s time to depart.

1. Skeleton Coast, Namibia
Location: Namibia, Africa (South Atlantic Coast)
Humans fear this place, calling it the ‘Gates of Hell,’ but to us, it is nothing short of a celestial paradise. The thick fog created by the cold Benguela Current acts as a natural UV shield, gently enveloping our skin even in broad daylight. The endless desert and the remnants of shipwrecks scattered along the coast offer a sublime aesthetic that only those who have endured for ages can truly appreciate. The true value of this location lies in the raw vitality of the Cape Fur Seal colonies that fill the beach. Watch the red sun bleed into the mist and enjoy a sense of total freedom, stripped of the noise of civilization.

2. Poveglia Island, Venice, Italy
Location: Venice Lagoon, Italy
While the main island of Venice teems with the frantic energy of tourists, the nearby island of Poveglia is a 'Secret Domain' where time seems to stand still. Thanks to the restriction of human interference, we can enjoy a completely private time here, undisturbed by anyone. Sit atop the spire of an ancient, crumbling building and watch the light fade over the Adriatic Sea. What humans call 'eerie silence' is, for us, the deepest form of solace. Once the twilight deepens, slipping into the main island to blend into the splendor of a Masquerade is an elegant way to welcome 2026.

3. Manu'a Islands, American Samoa
Location: South Pacific Ocean
This is one of the last places on Earth where the sun of 2025 lingers. Located right next to the International Date Line, this place is physically like a ‘Guardian of Time.’ While the rest of the world is already plunged into the bustle of the New Year, here, the last warmth of 2025 is still cherished. Since most vacationers stay on the main island, the deep shadows of the cliffs on the Manu'a Islands provide a perfect sanctuary for us. We recommend this spot to the meticulous and graceful immortals who wish to savor every last second of the year. The experience of seeing off the world's final sunset amidst the dense greenery of the tropical rainforest is permitted only here.
