Just when you ‘Fort’ Valentine’s day couldn’t get any more romantic…
With only a few days left until Valentine’s day, it’s time to get those gifts in order. And in case your ordinary bottle of bubbly and box of chocolate won’t cut it, you’re looking for somewhere super special, or perhaps you want an exciting destination to propose, we have the perfect thing from Amazing Venues. Your own private island…
Spitbank Fort is situated just off of the coast of Portsmouth and is offering a once in a lifetime romatic experience from the moment you first step aboard. Already regarded as one of the world’s most secluded private islands in the UK, it is the ideal overnight escape from all the worries and hassles to relax under the stars with your true love.
On arrival, you and your partner will be greeted with a glass of chilled champagne and whisked off on a tour showcasing the Fort’s impressive history with the best of British Military architecture and carefully restored original artefacts. You can then check into your sumptuous suite, complete with added valentine’s touches such as a chilled bottle of Laurent Perrier champagne and a beautiful red rose for your loved one with your own personal message.
Once you have checked in and settled, you are invited to enjoy a delicious buffet lunch in the Crow’s Nest followed by a relaxing afternoon spent in the rooftop hot pool and sauna gazing over the Solent and savouring the sea air. Plus, if you fancy another glass of champagne, simply ring the historic bell next to the pool and one will be whisked over immediately.
The afternoon will proceed with an indulgent Valentine’s themed afternoon tea and then a range of activities such as flying kites or fishing if you wish, before an aperitif and a gourmet five-course dinner in a candlelit setting of the Officer’s Mess. Once you are comfortably full, you can round off the night with a hot chocolate by the rooftop fire pit under the stars.
Could there be a more romantic way to spend this valentine’s?
The overnight stay also includes a full Fort breakfast before heading back to mainland. The Valentine’s Experience starts from £779 per night (excluding activities). For more information and reservations, please visit www.solentforts.com
