These are the most beautiful outdoor cinemas in Asia

Time Out22-07-2025
Streaming services may have dampened the movie-going lifestyle, but there's still a certain magic around catching a movie in the cinema. And if you want to take the romance and nostalgia up a notch? An outdoor cinema will do the trick.
For where to catch a flick under the stars in Asia, you only have to look as far as Time Out 's list of the 30 most beautiful outdoor cinemas in the world. Our picks range from a cinema in a cemetery to a venue in a Roman amphitheatre, with a gorgeous spot called Westpac OpenAir overlooking Sydney Harbour, the Opera House, and Harbour Bridge topping the list.
However, what we're interested in are the beautiful outdoor cinemas that can be found in Asia, and there are just two spots that rank. The most spectacular one in the region? Hendrick's Sunset Cinema in Singapore, set on the sandy shores of Sentosa Island's Tanjong Beach. Framed by swaying palm trees and expansive sunset views (hence the name), this is where crowds have been settling in since 2017 to catch Oscar-worthy films. To complete the experience: deck chairs, wireless noise-cancelling headphones, and even DJ sets and food trucks before the movies start.
The other outdoor cinema in Asia to make the list is The Grounds in Hong Kong. This one's for those who like lots of personal space – the venue is set up with 100 'socially-distanced' private pods that can seat up to four people. And talk about service: you can order food from various restaurants via QR code and get your items served straight to your pod. Backdropped by Hong Kong's unmistakable skyline, The Grounds also plays host to live music, yoga, and other lifestyle events.

Stunning medieval village is quiet gem that's like going back in time

The fortified medieval village is a hidden gem and is like stepping back in time to the 14th and 15th centuries Paris, Cannes and Burgundy are typically the first ports of call for those touring France. Yet, a quiet renaissance in the French countryside is offering a hidden treasure for those seeking a more genuine and picturesque experience. ‌ Among the lesser-known jewels of France's rural retreat is Noyers-sur-Serein, a fortified medieval village tucked away in the heart of Burgundy. This village, recognised as one of Les Plus Beaux Villages de France (or The Most Beautiful Villages in France), feels more like a step back in time than a contemporary tourist hotspot. ‌ Its allure lies in its well-preserved buildings, some harking back to the 14th and 15th centuries. ‌ The Musée de la Maison à Colombages, or Half-Timbered House Museum, is a museum dedicated to the region's traditional building techniques for unique half-timbered houses, exhibiting local craftsmanship and materials. Maryanne Sparkes, a specialist in French river cruises at European Waterways, explained that the village's undeniable charm comes from its resemblance to something from a fairytale rather than reality, reports the Express. ‌ She said: "Noyers-sur-Serein is straight out of a real-life history book. With cobbled streets lined with half-timbered houses built on stone archways, walking here feels like you've stepped onto the set of a historical film." From the stone archways of medieval fortifications and the tranquil banks of the Serein River, to the delightful Romanesque churches, every nook and cranny is steeped in a history that began with its foundation by the king of the Sequani Gaul tribe just before the Roman conquest. Noyers-sur-Serein is encircled by medieval ramparts and defensive towers that remain intact. A stroll along these fortifications offers breathtaking panoramic views of the village and the surrounding countryside. Despite its historical significance, Noyers-sur-Serein remains delightfully under the radar for international tourists. This makes it a perfect destination for those seeking to avoid the crowds without sacrificing the fairy-tale atmosphere that often attracts visitors to the more renowned spots.

EastEnders legend rushed to hospital unconscious after being pushed

Oscar Branning (Pierre Moullier) makes a desperate attempt for cash in EastEnders next week – with one resident being hospitalised as a result of his actions. As viewers of the BBC One soap know, Oscar is desperate to evade thuggish associate Fat Mike (Tai Hilferink), who he grassed up to the police for stealing a car. In retaliation, Mike attempted to petrol bomb his house, and has continued to try and seek revenge by leaving a series of threatening messages and, in last week's episodes, left a knife in the kitchen chopping board as a stark warning of what he's capable of. After the two lads came face to face in Monday's instalment, a paranoid Oscar attacked a hooded figure in the hallway of sister Lauren's (Jacqueline Jossa) house, believing it to be Mike. …but it was Peter (Thomas Law)! In upcoming scenes, Mike is back on the scene and announces he needs £5,000 in exchange for Oscar's family's safety. At a loose end with where to find the cash, Oscar makes an attempt at forming a business deal with Ian Beale (Adam Woodyatt), but his attempts fall flat and he has to confess all to Lauren. Will she offer to help? Across the Square, Patrick Trueman (Rudolph Walker) has been betting against his fiancée Yolande's (Angela Wynter) wishes, and is on cloud nine to see he and Howie Danes (Delroy Atkinson) have bagged a whopping £6,000! Yolande is furious – having already warned that she'd call off their upcoming wedding if she found him gambling again – but little does she realise, the money won't be staying in his hands for long. The family are all in The Vic when Oscar foolishly breaks into the Fox-Trueman household in a bid to steal the winnings, but is caught in the act by Patrick.

Denise Fox (Diane Parish) and sister Kim (Tameka Empson) return from the pub and are shocked to discover what's happened. Concerns grow for Patrick when he's rushed into hospital, and as everyone keeps vigil at his bedside, Lauren is suspicious of Oscar's overwhelming worries for a man he doesn't really know. More Trending Later, realising he's planning to leave Walford, she confronts him with the stolen cash. When the police start doing door to door enquiries, Oscar knows that the time is ticking on his new life. Will Patrick be ok, and will Oscar get away with his crime?

The hitmaker was seen smouldering at the camera for a number of glamorous shots. She completed her look with a face of flawless makeup. The singer then shared a snap of her getting her tresses retouched by her hairdresser as she took a break from filming. The long sleeve mini dress showed off Demi's incredible legs and resembled a frock KUWTK star Kim, 44, once wore in 2017. Kim often puts her famous curves on display and stepped out in an off-the-shoulder dress for the The Launch Of KKW Beauty. Snippets from Demi's new video bared a striking resemblance to the US reality star. Demi captioned it: "Me when i serve my favorite dish… FAST OUT FRIDAY." The Let It Go singer has been a busy woman after having tied the knot with fiance fiance Jordan 'Jutes' Lutes in May. Demi said "I do" in California in a fairytale ceremony surrounded by their friends and family. Demi Moore hugs celebs pals on red carpet at Oscar nominees event Demi looked sensational in a pearl white Vivienne Westwood dress made with silk satin fabric and featuring a corset bodice. For the reception, Demi changed into an ivory silk satin dress with a draped corset top, also by Vivienne Westwood. The dress featured a number of pearls cascading from the neckline. The night before the wedding, Demi was seen in a white dress as they hosted a rehearsal dinner. The songstress wowed onlookers as they floated down the aisle before becoming a wife, in snaps obtained by The Mail. At the walk through, the couple's loved ones were in attendance, as well as their three sweet dogs. Then, after the rehearsal, the group that were in attendance were all said to have headed out for an intimate dinner. Heading to a small restaurant, the love birds called it an early night ahead of their big day when they will say "I do" for real as they officially become a married couple. 'BEST THREE YEARS OF MY LIFE' "Jordan, I cannot WAIT to marry you!!" Demi gushed in February, hinting at an imminent ceremony. "The past 3 years have been the best 3 years of my life and I have you to thank for that. I'm obsessed with your heart, your love and your light. "I can't wait to grow old with you and start a family together. Happy Valentine's Day to the love of my life. I love you honey!!!" Jutes, 34, proposed to Demi, who goes by she/they pronouns, in December 2023 with a massive pear-shaped diamond. "I'm still speechless! Last night was the best night of my life and I can't believe I get to marry the love of my life," Demi wrote at the time, showing off her stunning sparkler. "My love, I'm beyond excited to marry you. Every day I've spent with you has been a dream come true and I can't wait to love and cherish you forever. Here's to the rest of our lives. I love you baby!" TMZ first reported the couple planned to wed over Memorial Day weekend. PAST STRUGGLES The singer has been down a rocky road on her way to happily-ever-after. She called off her wedding to fiance Max Ehrich in 2020 after a nasty split. And after a long struggle with sobriety, she overdosed on opiates in 2018, suffering three strokes and a heart attack. "My doctors said that I had five to 10 more minutes [to live]," she admitted in a 2020 documentary, claiming she still suffers side effects from the scary health crisis. 'I don't drive a car because I have blind spots in my vision. "For a long time, I had a really hard time reading. Reading was a big deal when I was able to read out of a book, which was two months later because my vision was so blurry. 'I dealt with a lot of the repercussions and I think they are kind of still there to remind me of what could happen if I ever get into a dark place again. 'I'm grateful for those reminders but I'm so grateful that I'm someone who didn't have to do a lot of rehabbing." Most recently, fans were concerned after she appeared to be shaky in a cooking video, after admitting she was really nervous. "I'm okay! I promise," she assured fans. Demi has said she is now completely sober and happy. 7 The pop star smouldered at the camera while filming the sexy scene Credit: instagram 7 Demi has changed drastically over the years Credit: Getty
