It has all: Sun, Sand, Sea minus Beach. If you are willing to compromise on the presence of beach then located on Weymouth beach in Dorset, UK, here stands the world’s largest and only sand castle hotel made wholly of sand. And it is also missing on clandestine or any shower or toilet services and hence leaving you with the only option to sit with legs crossed. A team of six was engaged for continuous eight days (12-14 hours/day or 600 hour’s total) to erect the 50 foot square by 13 foot high sand hotel. Featuring sand pillow, sand bed and other sandy interiors, the structure is formed using 1,000 tons of Weymouth beach sand and water from the sea.

The under sky family room offers scenic beauty and features a double and single bed constructed using sand and costing a petty $21 (£10) for a night stay under starry skies. The structure is a creation by sculptor Mark Anderson who was bespoken by the site LateRooms.com, designed to offer an appeal similar to that of a giant sand castle.

I would suggest you to reserve yourself a room a tough tide or rain washes it off. It can be done by calling ‘LateRooms’ sand hotel booking hotline, citing “Under the Stars” on 020 7841 6682.

Aptly put down by Jean Baudrillard: “I have already said that, as I see it. To bring a real world into being is in itself to produce that world, and the real has only ever been a form of simulation.” Until date, we have witnessed mobile libraries; mobile medical clinics and other forms of mobile creations that once installed turn the heads of the travelers. And following the same lines, here stands Caravan, another green offering by designer Kevin Van Braak. To be precise and straight: it is park-on-wheels. All you need to do is to park it in an empty space, unfold the accessories, position the trees and you are all set to enjoy beautiful evening in the green environs.

To go a step beyond, I reckon Caravan as no less than a green-space simulator that lets you feel the green warmth irrespective of your location in a barren geography.
