The most spectacular cinema locations in the world

In the "Segera Retreat", a former farm in Kenya, even private cinema evenings can be organized on request.

The idea is too beautiful: to see "Beyond Africa" ​​somewhere in the wild African nature on an outdoor screen - that would be something. And there really is! Read what the most unusual cinema locations in the world are.

Nature has formed a huge cave at a depth of almost 90 meters. The Balver cave in Balve near Iserlohn can accommodate almost 2000 people. In Europe's largest cultural cave there are regular concerts and TV shows, but also cinema screenings (from June 25th, www.balver-hoehle.de). The atmosphere: great!

There are no blockbusters here, but guests can learn a lot about elephants, their protection and behavior in the camp's outdoor cinema. There are also snacks and cocktails - and sometimes incredible sunsets. In the camp, which is located in the Okavango Delta and is managed by the eco-safari provider Wilderness Safaris (wilderness-safaris.com), you can also watch the gray giants live. The animals that live there have been freed from dangerous living conditions and remain in the camp for a while. Info: Between January and March, the night in the camp costs 1770 euros.

Open air cinema on the mountain (Barcelona)

Montjuic, Barcelona's local mountain, always turns into an exciting open-air cinema in summer (salamontjuic.org). The screen is set up between historic castle walls and films from classic to blockbuster are shown. Tickets cost 6.50 euros, if you like, book an eco picnic for 11 euros.

Film fun on the sandbar (Maldives)

It could hardly be more romantic: In the middle of the sand, surrounded by countless candles, you can not only have your dinner at the hotel "The Nautilus Maldives" (thenautilusmaldives.com), but also enjoy the cinema under the stars. The canvas stands on the beach or on a sandbar that can be reached by boat. If you like, combine food with film fun and let the private chef and butler spoil you with fine dishes before the film begins - and you can choose it yourself. Info: Villa from 2384 euros per night.

I had a farm ... in Kenya

Whoever goes on vacation here really feels like Karen Blixen in “Beyond Africa”. The "Segera Retreat" (segera.com) is located on the 20,000 hectare site of a former farm in Kenya. The conservationist Jochen Zeitz has created a sustainably managed refuge in which you can not only see unpublished letters from Karen Blixen and Ernest Hemingway, but also go on safaris in the style of "Beyond Africa". Even the yellow double-decker plane from the film can be seen here! If you want to see the film (or another) on site, the team organizes a very private cinema evening. Info: Villa from 1227 euros per night.

Cemetery cinema in London

Not for the faint of heart: In summer at the Brompton Cemetery in London there are scary classic films like "The Shining" or "The Birds" in the Nomad Cinema (whereisthenomad.com), but in between there are also less hair-raising works. The area creates additional goose bumps.

The palm trees are real, the sound of the sea too - the "Cinema Paradiso" is the perfect backdrop for an open-air film evening at the "Six Senses Yao Noi" resort in Phang Nga Bay (sixsenses.com/en/resorts/yao-noi) recommended by the luxury travel operator Awayfromitall.de. The James Bond classic "The Man with the Golden Gun" is shown on the screen, and this is no accident, since parts of the film were shot in the area. The movie night "Cinema Under the Stars" is on offer three times a week. If you like, you can also rent the cinema for private screenings. Info: Accommodation from 1104 euros per night.

Cathedral in the mountain (Graz)

The people of Graz wanted to create a very unusual place for culture. And just knocked a huge room out of the rock. The space that was created is 733 square meters, with eleven meter high ceilings and plenty of space for culture from concerts to theater to film.
