With the hot weather rolling back in, The Hut is the perfect place to have a bite to eat, enjoy sea views and have a dance.
The bar sits on the edge of Colwell Bay on the Isle of Wight which has a shingle shoreline and calm waters.
The Hut itself looks like it belongs in the Mediterranean with gleaming white walls, retractable glass windows and long wooden tables.
Just like some of the most exclusive Mykonos bars, you can get to this one in style, by boat or even helicopter.
For those taking to the water, you can get a boat out onto the water, then on approach to The Hut drop anchor as their own tender will bring guests to shore.
Those wanting to arrive like a celebrity, you can even come via helicopter.
This will land at the helipad at Afton Manor next door - no one will forget that.
One visitor wrote on Tripadvisor: "The food was superb and watching the dingies taxi service bringing in the customers from their boats for lunch was incredible."
With a boat to shore service, and the bar being right on the coast, guests have said it looks like it could be in the Mediterranean or even the Caribbean.
Another said: "I still marvel what the owners made out this old humble beach cafe- this would not look out of place in Mykonos."

Posts on social media show The Hut hosts lots of live events with DJs, dancers, live musicians like saxophone players with guests getting up and dancing on the tables.
For anyone wanting more of a relaxed vibe, avoid Saturday lunch time as The Hut warns that's when the DJ will be at it's loudest.
The Hut's menu thrives on seafood, there are surf and turf sharing platters as well as oysters, crab and mackerel.
Fish is their speciality with eight dishes dedicated to the likes of sole, sea bass, cod and sea bream.
But you can also dig into a juicy cheese burger, steak and Korean chicken.
When it comes to drinks The Hut has so much choice including 15 house cocktails which are £15 each.
There's also an eight page wine list as well as a choice of beers and non-alcoholic drinks.
The Hut is busy, so it's recommended to book before setting off, and for bigger groups you'll need to put down a deposit of £15pp to secure your spot.
Each year, The Hut holds its own annual party with live music and DJs.
It costs £250pp whole table buyout which includes a Hut Feast, bottomless rosé, and a welcome cocktail.
The Hut has private parties too for anyone who wants to celebrate with incredible views.
Both the Roof Deck and the Top Deck can be made indoor our outdoor because they have retractable roofs, sliding glass walls, and heating.
Plus one travel writer discovered London's best rooftop bars – and one felt more like Mykonos than being in the city.
