SCREEN ON THE BEACH
Saunter across the sand after dinner and you may well
stumble across our impromptu, al fresco cinema.
Sommeliers
and corks –
they’re both
taking a back
seat at LUX
The screw caps used on our special collection
of South African wines reduce the risk of
‘corking’ and oxidation and are kinder to
the planet. We’re also dispensing with the
formality of old world titles, so rather than
appoint a head sommelier, we invited
wine supremo Kent Scheermeyer to
share his pick of the crop.
Sofas, beanbags, rugs and blankets all form part of this cosy scene.
Take your pick and sink into your seat in front of a large screen
erected between two palm trees or stretched across a wood frame.
The projector flickers, the screen comes to life and you’re transported
– from art house films and world cinema to blockbusters and
kids’ classics. The sound echoes romantically around the setting
– celluloid voices punctuating the evening silence, the soundtrack
mixing rhythmically with the music of the lagoon waves.
And it wouldn’t be the cinema without nibbles, so there’s fresh
popcorn on the house, trays of ‘ici’ ice cream and, of course,
drinks served right to your seat. Cinema Paradiso? We think so.
