A while back I told you all how much I love outdoor cinemas. Yep, I love outdoor cinemas more than kittens. I also mentioned in that post all the problems about watching movies outdoors - its uncomfortable and hard to see and hear. Well, I thought that was true... until now. The clever people at Le Royal have come up with what is, in my humble opinion, the ultimate outdoor cinema. Best of all it's super comfortable and no-one obstructs your view.
Welcome to Cinema Paradiso...
Yep, a cinema full of sun-lounges. Why didn't anyone think of this earlier?
Being Raffles, the service is fabulous. We were welcomed with Martinis, which always make me feel so sophisticated.
Of course, you can't watch a movie without snacks. At Raffles your munchies take the form of a bottle of wine and luscious canapes (naturally, dah-ling).
With snacks and drinks sorted, the only thing left to do is sit back and enjoy the movie. Cinema Paradiso only shows classic movies. We were entertained with Dirty Dancing.
As you can see, even though we were in the last row we had a perfectly clear view of the screen.
All in all, a great evening. If you want to check it out, the last screening for this season is the last Thursday in March and I recommend booking ahead. The price is $20 per person including drinks and canapes.
