Let’s face it, the times when our vacation pictures were just meant to go in our family photo album are long gone. Back then, nobody besides you (and maybe your mom) cared about how you looked in those. Or where they were taken. Or how aesthetically pleasing they were. It was all about capturing that moment, whether it was to be able to prove afterwards that you threw a tantrum over a scoop of ice cream or because your dad really wanted to remember climbing that mountain, pulling it out of the album every now and then for years after when he wanted to brag about it over Christmas dinner.
Nowadays, however, things are a bit different. We no longer take the effort of putting together a photo album (at least not a physical one) and most of our pictures end up on our social media instead of anywhere else. That entails a few different things. First of all, more people can look at them and judge on your pose, your outfit or your facial expression. Secondly, if you want to keep things balanced on your Instagram or TikTok feed, you’ll have to think about colour and exposition. Thirdly, our vacations now tend to adapt themselves to the picture we (have to) take instead of the other way around.
And even though that is a bit sad, you can also try to see the positive side of that. After all, if you’re thinking more about where to go, you might discover new places and actually get to enjoy that little outing. That being said, we’re all for spontaneous discoveries and walking around without phone or anything else to guide you – more often than not, that’s how you discover the real gems.
Today, however, we are telling you where to go. More precisely, we’ve gathered a list of 10 different pink places all over the world that’ll do great on you social media profiles. Whether you’re posing for Instagram or filming yourself for TikTok, you don’t want to miss out on these little pink gems.
1. Pink Restaurant, Belgium
If you’re looking for the perfect place to have your next brain storming session with the team or if you want to impress a client, the Pink Restaurant is the perfect way to do so.
2. Pietro Nolita, United States
When you’re in New York, you don’t want to miss out on Pietro Nolita. All pink everything and delicious Italian food, what’s not to like?
3. Bywater Street, United Kingdom
You don’t necessarily have to go inside a bar or restaurant to make cool pictures. In London, on Bywater Street and in many other locations, you’ll find some of the coolest pink houses to capture that glorious pink glam.
4. Sketch, United Kingdom
Another famous pink hotspot in London and probably the most well-known is Sketch. A pink toilet? Yes please. And let’s be honest, it’s not just the pink stuff that’s cool at this place.
5. Salt Lakes of Las Coloradas, Mexico
Want to go for something a bit more natural? The Salt Lakes of Las Coloradas are man-made, but the actual colours come from a kind of algae. Watch out: touching the water is forbidden these days.
6. The Royal Hawaiian, Hawaii
Why go to an ugly hotel when you could opt for a more aesthetically pleasing option as well? The Royal Hawaiian certainly checks that box.
7. Jaipur City, India
Go big or go home, right? In Jaipur, you don’t have to go looking for pink spots: they’re all around you. The perfect way to make sure ALL your pictures and looking fine after your holiday.
8. Muralla Roja, Spain
If you’re a fan of both architecture and the colour pink (the two tend to combine well together), the Muralla Roja is your perfect destination. Built by architect Ricardo Bofill Levi, the postmodern apartment complex is even for rent through Booking.
9. Higashimokoto Shibazakura Park, Japan
Let’s finish with yet another natural wonder, located in the Higashimokoto Shibazakura Park in Japan. During the months of May and June, the whole hillside gets turned into one big sea of pink.
10. Buddy Buddy, Brussels, Belgium
Healthy nut butters, yummy coffee and a very memorable interior. What else do you want from your morning coffee run before work or in between shopping?
