Let X\ be a smooth projective algebraic variety over a number field k\ and P\ in X(k). In 2007, the second author conjectured that, in a precise sense, if rational points on X\ are dense enough, then the best rational approximations to P\ must lie on a curve. We present a strategy for deducing a slightly weaker conjecture from Vojta{\textquoteright}s conjecture, and execute this strategy for the full conjecture for split surfaces.
