Sunsets in the Philippines are always majestic and magical, a love letter from the universe to tell us that endings can be beautiful, too and that endings can also mean new beginnings.
It’s that time of the day when the sun kisses the world goodbye and casts its magic on nature. The round crimson ball slowly disappears into the horizon and beautiful colors make for an incredible backdrop—pink, scarlet, yellow, orange, a kaleidoscope of colors, for sure.
The result is a divine glow that fills the sky and the clouds and the horizon sparkle with purple-red light. Neither your eyes nor your soul will have enough beauty while the sun sets.
If you admire the beauty of sunsets, remember that there are many places where you can experience it or enjoy its calming, beautiful and life-changing moments, be it high up on a mountain, on the lake, or the lush, sweeping natural hills just like at Crosswinds in Tagaytay.
An exclusive Swiss-inspired community
Inspired by the natural beauty of Switzerland that shines just as bright, with verdant forests and glistening mountain peaks, Crosswinds is Brittany Corp.'s 100-hectare exclusive enclave that features lot-only properties, luxury homes and residential buildings.
The cool breeze, crisp mountain air and earthy scent of pine trees are but a prelude to chasing the most beautiful sunset in this jewel of a luxury leisure development.
In Crosswinds, you can enjoy the magical sunset on the balcony of your Swiss chalet-style home with large windows that unite the interior outside and allow you to experience the mountain soul of typical Swiss-chalet architecture.
Here, one can savor the gasp-worthy views of the setting sun any day.

Making the most of Crosswinds sunset
