Is a night on a Napoleonic private island the most romantic way to spend Valentine’s Day?

Is this the most romantic trip ever? Well this Valentine’s Day you could be wooing your other half with one of the most romantic breaks ever – a night on an island.

Put a tick on your bucket list and treat your beloved to a trip that will see you spend the night on a defence fort built to protect England from Napolean III in the the water of The Solent. Choose from Spitbank Fort or No Man’s Fort, both of which lie between Portsmouth and the Isle of Wight, and enjoy a night of luxury not to be forgotten. During your night on the unique forts guests will receive a bottle of Laurent Perrier to pop, a box of chocolates and of course a red rose.

The romance continues as couples enjoy a dip in the rooftop hot tubs, fly kites in tandem off the roof of the fort and end the night following an A La Carte dinner wrapped up in snug blankets around the fire pit toasting marshmallows.

And to really push the boat out one lucky couple could enjoy a totally exclusive, private meal for two at the top of the lighthouse, waited on by their very own butler.

Mark Watts, manager of the Solent Forts, said: “Each of the forts offers a beautifully unique place to spend Valentine’s Day away from the hustle and bustle of the mainland.

“Out here you and your partner can enjoy each other’s company as well as the amazing surroundings.

“On top of this unique setting we work very hard to ensure all our guests have the best time possible and leave feeling rested, relaxed and pampered.”

Prices to stay on No Man’s Fort for one night this Valentine’s weekend start from £550 per couple, with a stay on Spitbank Fort beginning at £650 per couple.
