In the very first episode, titled "Caribbean Beach Weekend", we are taken on a journey to the exotic islands of the Caribbean, to explore its pristine beaches and glistening blue waters.

The episode begins with Simon arriving in the beautiful island of Saint Lucia, surrounded by an incredible landscape of lush green hills and turquoise waters. With its crystal-clear waters and white sandy shores, it’s no surprise that the island is considered as one of the most sublime beaches in the Caribbean, and Simon is here to explore every inch of it.

In this episode, Simon plans to embark on a beach-hopping adventure in the Caribbean, starting off with the gorgeous Rodney Bay Marina. It's a place that's truly magical – with yachts bobbing gently in the blue waters, surrounded by palm trees and pristine white beaches. Simon quickly dives straight in, exploring the local seafood markets and getting an insight into what life is like on the island. He tries out the local delicacy – a delicious fish fry - before heading to his destination – Sugar Beach Resort on the west coast.

The Sugar Beach Resort is a destination to behold. It's an opulent hotel that sits right on the beach, with immaculate service and stunning views that take in the Piton Mountains that rise into the sky from the sea. Simon wastes no time in experiencing all that the resort has to offer, lounging on the private beach, sipping on cocktails and indulging in the island’s local cuisine.

For Simon, the day is just beginning as he hops into a helicopter for an exhilarating sightseeing tour of the island. Flying high above the rolling hills and the sparkling coastline, Simon takes in the awe-inspiring view from this unique perspective. After the helicopter ride, Simon heads to the town of Soufriere, where the locals celebrate life with a street party. Music fills the air, and the smell of mouth-watering food wafts through the streets as Simon tries out the local dance moves and savors the Caribbean way of life.

Day two of the Caribbean beach weekend sees Simon heading to Pigeon Island National Park. A beautiful 44-acre park that stretches across two beaches, the perfect spot for Simon to start his beach-hopping adventure. He lounges on the white sands, relaxes in the cool blue waters and he embraces the laid-back Caribbean vibe. Simon wastes no time exploring this magnificent island, from the breathtaking view at the peak of Signal Hill to the ancient Fort Rodney.

The final stop on Simon’s island adventure is in the north of the island, at the luxurious Cap Maison Resort. It is one of the most luxurious resorts on the island, with breathtaking views over the Caribbean. Simon takes a dip in the infinity pool overlooking the pristine beach, and with the sun setting, he indulges in a romantic dinner for two under the stars.
