A little south of Charleston lies Kiawah Island, a large barrier island and resort town with over ten miles of beautiful white sand beaches. 

Kiawah Island Golf Resort is one of the most prestigious resorts in the Southeastern United States and definitely offers something for everyone.  We were fortunate enough to stay at the resort’s main hotel, The Sanctuary, as part of a retreat for my husband’s job.  However, we both agreed that it would be worth the splurge if we were to return on our own.  Along with the most beautiful beaches the Charleston area has to offer, Kiawah is known for its world-class golf courses and pristinely preserved natural landscapes.  Enjoy fishing, nature tours, spa treatments, tennis, kayaking, bicycle rentals, miles of walking trails and so much more.  If you're looking to experience Charleston in luxury, this is where you want to be.
