Hotels in the Sand (Melt into the Sea, Eventually…)
During a checkered traveling past, HostelBloggers have slept in some fairly unusual places: there have been castle hostels, treehouse hostels and even a couple of haunted hostels. When luck and planning have been against us, we’ve had to make do with a park bench on a few occasions…
Beaches have also, naturally, featured quite highly. But never, in all our days, have we slept in a giant sand castle.
And a giant sand castle is exactly what the ’sand hotel’ that’s been built on Weymouth Beach (in Dorset, England) is. It took four eager sculptors (and a JCB) over a week to build, and is made up of over 1,000 tonnes of sand. As for the price? A very reasonable £10 a night. But then, of course, it doesn’t have a roof!
