11:55So I sit down, and I'm fascinated by all these Spanish names.
11:59So I say, this one, this one, this one, this one.
12:01And the food starts flowing.
12:03That is just delicious.
12:05Delicious.
12:07Oh, it's got caviar and everything.
12:09All right.
12:10You want me to cut this in half?

12:13Mix it with the tomatoes.
12:14Okay.

12:23Well, we've completed my half of the boys' weekend,
12:28so it's Miguel's turn now,
12:29and he tells me that we're going somewhere completely different.
12:33And we are heading to the beautiful one and only playground of Singapore,
12:38Sentosa Island.
12:39And we are travelling not just in any normal car.
12:43We're travelling in a cable car.
12:45It's like a deep sea bell.
12:56Shall we?
12:57Yeah.
12:59Miguel does everything in style.
13:01This cable car, I mean,
13:03it's got a little bit of adventure written all over there.
13:05Oh, that's incredible.
13:10It's amazing.
13:11I love this sort of stuff.
13:15You get a panoramic view,
13:17and we're going through buildings.
13:19Oh, my God.
13:23Incredible view from the sky orb.
13:26The city is receding,
13:27and we are coming into this beautiful island.
13:31So you really feel like you're changing total scenery
13:34from leaving behind almost the modern city
13:37and just diving into the experience
13:39of the most relaxed kind of island life.
13:42Oh, without further ado,
13:44Come on, Miguel, the anticipation is killing me.
13:47Here we are in Sentosa Island.
13:48It's very beautiful and lush and green.
13:51You want to know where we're staying?
13:53You mean we're not staying in the cable car
13:55with the chrome-plated top and bottom?
13:57No, no, no, no.
13:58We're staying in the Sentosa, Raffles Sentosa,
14:01one of the most famous, amazing hotel brands in the world.
14:06Now you're talking.
14:07And it's brand new.
14:08Oh, I can't wait.
14:09Well, we're staying in my choice of hotel,
14:18and that is the beautiful Raffles Sentosa.
14:21Good afternoon, and welcome to Raffles Sentosa, Singapore.
14:24It's so close to the city of Singapore,
14:27but it feels miles away.
14:29And the whole philosophy for them
14:31is leaving behind all the stress from the city
14:34and diving into what is being in an island.
14:39So we decided to check my villa first,
14:41and I'm in the one-bedroom pool villa.
14:44And this place is amazing.
14:46Oh, look at this.
14:47You are kidding.
14:49Come on.
14:50This is my one-bedroom pool villa.
14:53You like it?
14:55I love it.
14:56How did you manage this?
14:58Well, Camerandado,
14:59you're not the only one Luxury Escape Society member.
15:02Now it's two of us.
15:03You want a hotel?
15:05Yeah.
15:07We have our own pool
15:09with all these rainforests around,
15:11and it's got this really cool bar
15:12with a Sentosa Slim
15:14in the shaker
15:16with the cold glass in the fridge.
15:18Oh, that's really good.
15:20Nice.
15:21And you see, I love that kind of thing
15:23when, you know, people are going to do so much effort
15:25to welcome someone.
15:26That's pretty cool.
15:28The advantage to travel with Luxury Escapes
15:31is you always get more.
15:32Your expectations, they're always satisfied,
15:35and you get all the good stuff.
15:37It's luxurious, and he's really excited,
15:40and now I cannot wait to see what he's got for me.
15:43After you.
15:45Oh.
15:45Oh, wow.
15:48Welcome to your two-bedroom pool villa.
15:55This is spectacular.
15:57I know, it has the feeling to be in here.
15:59And pool space.

16:12Wow.
16:14Look at the size of the shower.

16:33You have outdone yourself.
16:35This is, this is, this is incredible.
16:38It's just so relaxing.

16:41Ready.
16:41Just like that coming on.
16:43And don't relax too much just yet.

16:48You're going to love it.
16:50See you soon.
16:52Ha, ha, ha.
16:57This is the best Cantonese food on the island.
17:01I love it.
17:06Miguel and I are on Sentosa Island.
17:10It's so close to the heart of Singapore,
17:11but it feels worlds away,
17:13and Miguel's telling me
17:15he has something special lined up for us today.
17:18How good's this, Miguel?
17:19Sentosa Island.
17:20It's full of activity.
17:21It's all happening.
17:22I think this is so amazing
17:24because this is where the Singaporeans
17:26come in to play the games.
17:27It's their playground.
17:28Oh, what are we playing?
17:29Oh, but you and I are playing a very special game.
17:31Is that right?
17:32We're going to go to the biggest zip line in the country.
17:35Oh.
17:36You ready?
17:36Oh, ready.
17:39450 metres all the way down.
17:41We're starting to suit up.
17:43We're getting the harness ready.
17:44Our things are getting real.
17:46I'm fairly good with heights.
17:49I'm fairly good with heights.
17:51The air's a bit thinner up here.
17:53We're a long way up.
17:55Yeah.
17:56You guys ready?
17:57I'm shooting camera and he's really excited.
18:00He's half excited and I'm going to start to feel a little bit,
18:03I'm going to smell a little bit of...
18:04I'm going to smell a little bit of...
18:06When I look across at Miguel and he's...
18:09I'm like, oh, God.
18:12I actually...
18:14My stomach is doing backflips right now.
18:17Ah!
18:18What a hell of a day!
18:20And it was just this absolute take-off.
18:29And I've got an old mate beside me screaming.
18:31Of course, he's screaming.
18:32Yeah!
18:33And it's all the adrenaline run all over your body and you are on!
18:42We are on!
18:42Woo!
18:45Woo!
18:47Woo-hoo!
18:49Yee-haw!
18:51Oh, my God!
18:52Oh, I think Cameron Dado really enjoyed the experience.
19:01He really dived into the experience.
19:04He's always really open-minded when it comes to, like, new things.
19:07And I think we did a very good job, both of us.
19:09Thank you, mate.
19:10Oh, so nice.
19:11That was great.
19:11I think this was really...
19:13With the volume all the way up,
19:15I think now we're going to turn the volume down.
19:17Ooh!
19:17I'll have a little bit of a...
19:18A little bit more chilling experience.
19:20Oh, that sounds good.
19:21Ready for that?
19:21Is there time for it?
19:22Is this the way?
19:23Okay, let's do it.
19:23Lead on.
19:24Lead on.
19:24Let's do it.
19:25So, I'm not quite sure where Miguel is taking me now,
19:28but I sure could use a drink.
19:33Tanjong Beach Club, where Miguel takes us after ziplining,
19:37it's situated on a beautiful little lagoon
19:40with these islands around it.
19:44So, we arrive at the beach club
19:46and it's got all the amazing characteristics
19:48of a really nice beach club.
19:50The pool is right in the middle,
19:51the beach is right there.

20:07A couple of cocktails,
20:09just a moment to let the shoulders come away from the ears
20:11and chill out for a little bit and catch our breath,
20:15which I kind of really appreciated, actually.
20:20Had a fantastic sleep for our last night at Raffles Centoza.
20:24We're ready for our final day.
20:28To start the day, I'm going to check out the Wellness Centre
20:31and it's this beautiful barracks from, like, really old school.
20:35They've been all refurbished.
20:36It's a very charming place.
20:37And when you walk through,
20:38it's got this beautiful pool and the waterfall
20:41and it feels really tranquil and private.
20:44I'm just wondering,
20:45what is Mr. Cameron Dada?
20:46Hopefully he's organising something for our delicious lunch.
20:50Because I'm hungry.
20:52I've organised this fabulous lunch at Royal China,
20:55which is the premium Cantonese restaurant at Raffles,
20:57and the moment we walk through the door,
21:00you just know you're in for something special.
21:04Wow.
21:05Beautiful place.
21:06Yeah.
21:08That's all stunning.
21:09Will this do?
21:10Yes, Cameron Dada.
21:12Well, given this is our last day in Centoza,
21:15this is the best Cantonese food on the island.
21:19I love it.
21:20Every detail in this place is just a feast for the eyes,
21:25and I'm thinking it's going to be a feast for our tummy hairs too.
21:29Here we are, the Tim Sam.
21:32Lovely.
21:32First to serve to you is about the crystal prawn dumpling.
21:36Crystal.
21:37Scallop prawn dumpling.
21:38Oh, thank you.
21:39Thanks, Colin.
21:40Thank you very much.
21:41You think it's a little bit far?
21:42Come on.
21:43Yeah, yeah.
21:43Can you just adjust that for me?
21:44Yeah, I'm going to ask one second.
21:46The thing is, I mean, a lazy Susan is only lazy.
21:52This is the laziest Susan I've ever seen.
21:54On top of the gold table.
21:55I mean, I've never seen anything more luxurious than a lazy Susan with a remote control.
21:59It's got a remote control.
22:01So when Colin brings the food, it doesn't matter if it's a little bit far away.
22:07You know why?
22:08Because I've got the remote control.
22:09Click, click.
22:10It's remote control.
22:12And, oh, how did he get the remote control?
22:16Here he comes.
22:17Here's the next dish just to you.
22:18Yep.
22:19This chicken.
22:21The chicken.
22:22The soy sauce.
22:23Chicken.
22:25Wow.
22:25I love it.
22:26Would you do the honours?
22:27We've got these scallops.
22:29They were just stunning.
22:30I just enjoyed it.
22:32I thought the sauce was a little bit far away.
22:34Hey, doesn't matter.
22:35You get the remote control.
22:36Click, click.
22:37Eee.
22:38So nice.
22:40Oh.
22:41I love sharing these moments with you, Cameron.
22:43Yeah.
22:44You're a perfect partner in crime.
22:46Before we move, will you like some more scallop?
22:48One second.
22:50Miguel and I have had this beautiful Cantonese meal at Royal China.
22:54It's our last meal for our boys' weekend, and it's like, no, we can't leave it here.
22:58We've got to button this properly in the chairman's room, and this is one of the most beautiful
23:04rooms in raffles.
23:07Ooh.
23:08Come and welcome to the chairman's room.
23:10Oh, look, this is elegant, isn't it?
23:13So nice.
23:14This is my speed.
23:15You like it?
23:16I'd love it.
23:17Let's have a drink.
23:18You know, it's almost been like the old school cigar bars from the movies,
23:22where Humphrey Boger was having a cigar.
23:26The mixologists welcome us really nice.
23:28Cookers and tossers lean for me.
23:30So delicious.
23:32And Cameron get this lovely Macallan, 30 years.
23:36Well, here's to you and the Luxury Boys Weekend.
23:38Oh, and thank you so much for showing me such a sophisticated side of Singapore.
23:44Have the best time ever.
23:45And for you, you brought the adrenalina.
23:48Oh, let's eat it.
23:49It's energy.
23:50That's so much fun.
23:52So good.
23:53How good.
23:53Have the best time.
23:54Yin, yang, ha.
23:57Cheers.
23:58Cheers.
23:59This is absolutely delicious.
24:00Mm-hmm.
24:01It has been my first time in Singapore, and I was looking for a place that I wanted to
24:11feel some refinement.
24:13I think Singapore is a perfect, sophisticated escape for a boys' weekend with Cameron.
24:19The Pan Pacific Orchard is an ultra-luxury urban experience.
24:24When you can be in the beach or go to the clouds or just have a walk in the forest.
24:29Rafa Sentosa has got an amazing attention to detail.
24:34The staff, the design, you know, the menus, the food, the drinks, everything is really
24:40nice, tailored.
24:41It's one of the places that really feel like really exclusive.
24:46Cameron is a great companion.
24:47He's got that suave gentleman.
24:49He's got so much class.
24:50And traveling together, we really made this weekend to be the amazing weekend.
24:57And just being with Miguel, I love being with Miguel.
25:00We have such a fun time together.
25:02He has an innate kindness about him, which makes him wonderful to be around.
25:08To do something like this and have a luxury escape like this, the luxury boys' weekend,
25:14it's just a cherry on top.
25:16To book these luxury escapes and more, head to LuxuryEscapes.com.
25:21That is the incredible Mediterranean Sea.
25:24So pumped to be cruising it for the next seven days on the Sun Princess.
25:28It's an incredible ship.
25:30No way!
25:31Almost like a penthouse in Manhattan or something.
25:34I love French food.
25:35Love cheese.
25:36I think I'm in for a good day.
25:37The fact that we've seen so much and done so many things without having to take our suitcase
25:43out of our room, you can't get any more luxury than that.
25:47I've seen a little bit of everything.
25:48I've seen things that I never thought I'd see.
25:52Life doesn't get better than this.
