#1 Family Resort in U.S. and Canada by Travel + Leisure Family
Travel + Leisure says...
"Oceanside estate with world-class golf and tennis facilities and a lovely beach, on a barrier island just 30 minutes south of Charleston.
Rooms to Book: The oceanfront suites facing the sea--corner suite 578 has three balconies.
Insider Tip: Play the Ocean Course, site of the 1991 Ryder Cup and the 2012 PGA Championship.
Like a super-sized Tara, the Sanctuary at Kiawah Island belongs to a fictional plantation family. In the morning room, a portrait of the “Mistress” presides over moss-green brocades, floral drapes, and porcelain bibelots. The “Master” hangs his hat in the lobby bar. Tobacco-stained walnut planking creaks like the timeworn floors in an authentic antebellum mansion. Landscape architects transplanted 160 mature live oaks for the resort’s entrance avenue, and Kiawah’s beach glows pink at sunset as a shrimp trawler anchors in front of the resort. Treatments at the second-floor spa also have a distinctly Southern drawl: the Mint Julep Facial incorporates the Anakiri line’s pure-peppermint essential oil."
