A girls' trip to Guam. A local writer will guide you to some highly satisfying spots for a short weekend.

Spectacular views and Guam cuisine. A luxurious restaurant that will satisfy both your heart and stomach opens in a scenic spot

Terraza at Dos Amantes

Tumon Bay is Guam's busiest shopping district, lined with resort hotels, restaurants, and shopping spots. On the northern outskirts is Two Lovers Point, one of Guam's most famous scenic spots. Many couples visit this place to pledge their eternal love, where legend has it that two lovers threw themselves off a cliff into the sea to affirm their forbidden love. As a testament to the thousands of loves that have been forbidden, countless heart-shaped locks are hung on the fence at the observation deck.

In 2016, the restaurant "Terraza at Dos Amantes" opened at Lover's Point. It stands on a cliff over 100 meters above sea level, with the deep blue Philippine Sea stretching out in front of it. On the right is Lover's Point Observation Deck. And on the left, overlooking the beautiful bow-shaped Tumon Bay, the hotel lights sparkle at night, creating a mesmerizing view.

Recharge your energy with a cold beer and hearty meal while soothing yourself with the pleasant breeze and sound of the waves from the ocean. The recommended dish is the Fiesta Plate (pictured in the foreground). This dish includes two types of meat, pork and chicken, cooked in Guam-style BBQ, which involves thoroughly seasoning the meat and grilling it over several hours, along with red rice colored with achiote nuts. Both dishes are representative of Guam. Along with the spectacular view, they will satisfy your stomach and your heart.

Natural cosmetics derived from plants, utilizing ancient Guam wisdom

Guam Museum Gift Shop

About 20 minutes south of Tumon by car is the Hagåtña district, which has flourished as the political center for over 500 years. It is still the center of politics and business today, and is a popular area for tourists, dotted with many historical heritage sites. The Guam Museum, which opened in 2016, is a museum where you can experience the unknown side of Guam, including the ancient Chamorro culture of the indigenous people.

The gift shop attached to this museum is also a must-see. It has many one-of-a-kind items from Made in Guam, such as paintings by artists who create works in Guam and jewelry with modern arrangements of traditional Guam designs. One thing you should definitely check out is the natural cosmetics made from plants that grow indigenous to Guam.

The people of Guam, who have lived in harmony with the rich natural environment, have used various plants to treat illnesses and injuries since ancient times. This knowledge and techniques have been passed down, and even today many people use medicinal herbs to treat mild colds and other physical ailments. There are many natural cosmetic brands in Guam, which were born from the wisdom and teachings of these ancient people.

You can get cosmetics from the brand "Cham Glam" at the Guam Museum, which is hard to find at major souvenir shops or select shops. The brand's name is a combination of the indigenous Chamorro people of Guam and the English word "glamorous," which means "attractive." As the name suggests, which represents the beauty of Chamorro women, the owner himself grows the plants that are the raw materials and creates the ultimate natural cosmetics using traditional methods. Herbs such as hibiscus are used in the lip butter, ylang-ylang in the solid perfume, and mint in the healing balm, and the tropical scents will soothe your soul.

"LITI", a cosmetics brand also available for purchase at the museum shop, is a Guam-based cosmetics brand. Their products are made from plant ingredients grown in the earth and sun of Guam, such as lip balms made from tropical fruits like guava, pineapple, and mango, and body lotions made from hibiscus. They are perfect for women who want to achieve tropical beauty.

There is also a cafe inside the shop where you can enjoy cold drinks such as smoothies and tropical tea, as well as sweets such as Danishes and cookies. You can also just use the gift shop and cafe, so it is recommended as a break from shopping after a stroll around the Hagatna area.

Enjoy a sunset dinner or a drink with live music in the background. Experience the tropical nightlife.

The Beach

End the day at "The Beach." Located on Gun Beach, the northernmost beach in Tumon Bay, it is a popular spot among locals for its open space and delicious food.

The seaside at dusk, quietly waiting for night to come, lingering with the heat of the day at the crowded beach. The sun sinking into the horizon is exceptionally beautiful, painting the western sky a dreamy salmon pink.

For those who want to fill up on dinner, we recommend the BBQ and red rice set. The menu also offers a wide variety of meals, including a hearty hamburger with a 1/2 pound (about 226g) beef patty, a 12 ounce (about 340g) steak, and snacks such as nachos.

After the sun goes down, bands and DJs come on depending on the day, creating a romantic tropical evening. Enjoy the music with a drink in hand, or dance with the locals.

From sunset time to dinner time, or relaxing after dinner, you can spend your time however you like according to your travel schedule and situation. It's a nightlife spot for adults where you can fully unwind at the end of the day.

Guam is a place where you can spend a richer time than you would expect, considering how convenient it is to go whenever you feel like it. While it is lined with modern buildings and brand boutiques, you can also experience the rich nature and culture that has been passed down since ancient times. The charm of Guam is not limited to marine activities, but is diverse. It is said that there are many repeat visitors to Guam, and this is probably because they can discover something new about Guam every time they visit. Even if you have been to Guam before, we hope you will enjoy your second or third visit to Guam on your next vacation.
