Movies at the beach

Last night we went to watch one of my all time favourite movies, The Shawshank Redemption, at the beach!

The Jumeirah Beach Club Resort & Spa is a gorgeous setting and as we walked through its beautiful landscaped grounds and inviting swimming pools to get to the beach, it reminded me a lot of our time at The Fijian.

The beach was picture perfect. The movie screened on a projector screen with a beautiful backdrop of rolling waves and distant ships on the horizon. There was a choice of either lying on carpets with cushions, sitting at the bar, or relaxing in a beach chair - all right on the soft sand and under the stars!

What's more, you can get popcorn, a glass of wine or a beer, hot food and shisha! With 5 star waiter service, you don't even have to leave the comfort of your beach chair.


It's hard to believe movies screen for free every week! We're already planning on going back next week for more...
