The perfect pad for a James Bond villain

If you ever wanted to push the boat out (literally) and stay at one of the most unusual hotels on the ocean, look no further than No Man's Land Fort, a Victorian sea fort in the middle of the Solent, which is set to open this month. 

The spectacular isolated fort, one of three guarding the entrance to the Solent, just off the coast of the Isle of Wight, has been turned into a luxury impregnable haven complete with a rooftop hot tub, shops and even its own nightclub, thanks to a multi-million pound revamp.

The unique hotel looks like could be a fortress of a James Bond villain and can sleep 44 guests with a capacity of 200 for parties and events.

The sea fort is located 2km out at sea, meaning guests have to make an exciting entrance by helicopter or by boat.

On arrival at the ocean hotspot, guests can hit up the shops, restaurants, luxury spa, rooftop bar and firepit, cabaret bar, nightclub or LaZer Battle Arena.

If water sports are more your style this is the perfect base for enjoying RIB rides, jet biking, sea kayaking, or kite surfing.

A spokesman for AmaZing Venues said: 'No Man's Fort is an inspiring private island that offers an unrivalled experience.

'It is three times the size of Spitbank Fort and boasts its own lighthouse with spectacular views across the Solent.

'You'd think being a mile offshore is unique enough, but we've crammed every possible space with unusual things to see and experience.

'The potential of this magnificent sea fortress is only restrained by your imagination.

'A trip to the fort can be as relaxing or action-packed as you wish.

'For those intent on relaxation, No Man's offers its own spa, a choice of bars and a large sun deck.' 

Described on the website as '75,000 sq ft of fun,' adventurers can unwind overlooking the spectacular rooftop views, whilst enjoying a BBQ, before retiring to one of the 23 luxury suites which cost £450 per night. 

Those who have the means to splash out on the best suite in the fort, the plush lighthouse facilities can cost £1,150 a night during the summer.

The unusual destination boasts a colourful history and was even featured in the 1971 Dr Who episode, The Sea Devils, with Jon Pertwee.

Built between 1867 and 1880, it was originally used to defend the coast against French invasion, and was used during both world wars to protect Portsmouth Harbour from attacks.

In order to construct the impressive fort, huge blocks of granite were transported by barge to the site, and were lowered onto the seabed for its foundations.
