Make the Most of Your Kiawah Island Stay

A coastal sanctuary for golf and nature

Kiawah Island unfolds as a 10-mile barrier island where championship golf courses meet pristine Atlantic beaches, protected by strict architectural guidelines preserving the Lowcountry's natural character. The Ocean Course, site of the dramatic 1991 Ryder Cup "War by the Shore," features more seaside holes than any course in the Northern Hemisphere. Beyond golf, 30 miles of trails wind through maritime forests where alligators sun themselves and loggerhead turtles nest on undeveloped beaches.

Refined amenities without the crowds

The Sanctuary, a Forbes Five-Star hotel evoking a 19th-century coastal estate, anchors island hospitality with its Four-Star Ocean Room steakhouse. Freshfields Village provides boutique shopping and restaurants like Hege's French Bistro in a sophisticated town square setting. The pace favors outdoor pursuits—kayaking tidal creeks, cycling forest paths, or claiming your stretch of the 11-mile beach at Beachwalker Park.

Strategic location for business and leisure

Located 32 miles from Charleston International Airport, the gated island requires a rental car but rewards with an exclusive environment ideal for executive retreats. West Beach Conference Center and The Sanctuary's facilities serve corporate groups, while Vanderhorst Plantation's private estates offer seclusion for high-level gatherings. Historic Charleston sits 45 minutes north, though many find the island's preserved ecosystem provides all the escape they need.
