There’s a new attraction in Puerto del Carmen for visitors and residents to enjoy. The Starlight Rooftop Cinema has opened! It’s situated on the top floor of the Biosfera Shopping Centre, just up from the old town, and offers the unique experience of watching top quality movies in the open air!
Recent movies are played on the huge 6 X 4 metre screen, and everyone watching is given a set of top-quality headphones which allow them to choose English or Spanish language for the audio.
As well as the novelty of open air viewing, the cinema also offers a choice of really comfortable seating – lie-back couches and pouffes to rest your legs are the order of the day, and each seat has a side table for drinks and snacks which can be ordered by pressing a button to summon a waiter from the “Starcaf.” Everyone is given blanket in case their is a cooling breeze.
Movies already shown include The Martian, the latest Star Wars movie and The Heart of the Sea, which was filmed in Lanzarote. There are 17 different movies planned for this month. Viewings in summer start at 9PM, and guest are advised to arrive by 8.30PM to purchase their tickets and popcorn, and a pre-viewing cocktail from the Starcaf. Cine 6D The rooftop area is also open during the day and visitors can enjoy a thrill ride on the 6D cinema which has been installed. This is a similar unit to the one we have enjoyed so much at Marina Arrecife, and shows a range of adventure rides, as well as the famous Lanzarote Skyride, where you get to see the island from a totally new perspective. The 6D cinema, together with the Starcaf, is open every day from 10AM. There is also a mini golf course there, which is currently being set up and will open soon.
