The Sand Hotel

The Sand hotel is situated at the Weymouth beach, UK and it is made entirely of sand.

It was built in 2008 by sand sculptor Mark Anderson and offered visitors the chance to experience something unique.

For only 10 British pounds per night, guests were able to sleep in an open top sand castle and wake up on the beach ready to enjoy the day.

It took a team of six people eight days to construct 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.
