Ever wanted to stay in a military fort in the middle of the ocean? Well, now you can. No Man’s Fort is a massive 19th-century sea fort turned luxury hotel, sitting right in the middle of the Solent between Portsmouth and the Isle of Wight in England. Originally built to fend off Napoleon III (seriously), it’s now a high-end escape with 23 rooms, a lighthouse, and even a freaking laser tag arena. You have to arrive by boat, and once you’re there, you’re completely surrounded by water—no neighbors, no traffic, just salty air and panoramic sea views. The rooms are plush, the food is gourmet, and the rooftop hot tubs make you feel like royalty in a Bond villain’s lair. It’s part history, part luxury, and 100% outrageous. If you’re looking for a place where no one can bother you—literally—this floating fortress is hard to beat.
