Kiawah Island, South Carolina


Kiawah Island is a private barrier island located about 30 minutes from Charleston.  It is known for its quiet beaches, abundant wildlife, and five world class golf courses.  


I visited the award winning Sanctuary Hotel at Kiawah Island Golf Resort and continue to be impressed by the quality of service and scope of activities that this 255-roomed beachfront hotel and island resort offers.  Besides the beach, the hotel has three pools (including an infinity adult pool from which you can watch the crashing waves of the Atlantic and an indoor pool), a world class spa, several outstanding restaurants and bars, and a newly built chapel.

A short walk from the hotel is the Roy Barth Tennis Center which houses 22 tennis courts and a year round tennis program which is perfect for your next tennis getaway!!  And if tennis isn’t your game, play one of Kiawah’s five golf courses including the Ocean Course which will host the PGA in 2021!


For your children, the hotel offers a terrific nature program through Kiawah Resort and has miles of biking trails throughout the island (bikes can be rented through the resort).  


The Sanctuary Hotel at Kiawah Island Golf Resort is a member of Virtuoso.  As such, when you book the Virtuoso rate, you will get the following amenities:

The Sanctuary Hotel at Kiawah Island is perfect for couples, families, and getaways with friends!  I am looking forward to my next visit.
