The restoration of the world-famous and unique Spitbank Fort in The Solent began in November 2009. The detailed refurbishments, due for completion in March 2012, will see the transformation of this former Napoleonic fort into a sumptuous eight bedroom iconic destination. Truly unique and like no where you have ever stayed before, you will never forget your first visit to Spitbank Fort.

Working closely with English Heritage and other specialist organisations, Amazing Retreats will ensure that the historical aspect of the fort is maintained, whilst at the same time developing this unusual and exciting building into a 5* luxury retreat. Amazing Retreats have commissioned local experts PLC Architects in Portsmouth to transform and restore this ancient building. 

As Spitbank Fort can only be reached by boat it provides a level of privacy, peace and tranquility that is virtually impossible to find anywhere else in the world.

The eight bedrooms will be luxuriously fitted to the highest standard and the decadence doesn’t end there with facilities including three private dining rooms, three bars, wine cellar, an open-air hot-tub , sauna & sundeck and games rooms. Classical style and supreme comfort, together with the latest technology, complete this unique and wonderful venue that you will be talking about long after you have been taken to the mainland.

Spitbank Fort will be the most exclusive venue on the south coast, and available for exclusive hire, special events and corporate hire from March 2012. With accommodation for 16 and function space for up to 60 people, this is the unique venue that you have been searching for that will quite simply blow all others out of the water.
