South Carolina's Pristine Kiawah Island Resort
Kiawah Island Resort's 10 miles of beaches beckon visitors to enjoy the sun.
Vacationers looking for a world-class travel experience need look no further than beautiful coastal South Carolina and the charming and picturesque Kiawah Island Resort.
Located near the southern border of the state, close to Georgia, Kiawah Island has become the chosen vacation destination for those searching for a quieter beach vacation, away from boardwalks, theme parks, and other activities that tend to make an area crowded and noisy.
Kiawah is just the opposite. Small enough to be considered cozy yet large enough to offer a variety of activities and amenities, this island entices travelers to come and enjoy a little oceanside tranquility.
Lodging
The planned community of Kiawah Island Resort offers visitors a choice of cottages, villas, or homes for their stay. These accommodations range in size from 1 bedroom or studio units to 6- and 7-bedroom homes with more amenities than you can imagine.
Because the accommodations are so varied, everyone can find comfortable lodging, from individuals and couples to large families or groups of friends traveling together.
Some accommodations are within easy walking distance of the beach while others are located near the golf courses or within the wooded confines of the community. Choose the location that best fits your needs and desires for the perfect vacation.
Island Activities
If you love golf, you'll delight in the five world-class golf courses that are located on Kiawah Island and the dozens of others situated in neighboring communities. Kiawah Island Resort courses have hosted both the Ryder and World Cup championships.
Tons of fishing charters are available on or around the island, with experienced guides who know exactly where to go to nab the catch-of-the-day. Fishing gear rentals are available and family boat tours combine a little education with a day of fishing, crabbing, and dolphin watching.
Kiawah has been consistently ranked as a top tennis resort by Tennis Magazine. The resort boasts a total of 28 courts for those who wish to practice their backhand or challenge their partner to a rousing match.
Families may want to consider renting bikes and touring the island on their many miles of paved bicycle trails here. If you're not bringing along your own bike, remember to schedule your rentals in advance as bikes disappear quickly, especially during the spring and fall.
Kayaking and guided kayak tours are quite popular at Kiawah Island resort, as is water-skiing and wakeboarding. Swimming and playing in the sand are, of course, favorite activities of the little ones.
Historic Charleston is just minutes away from Kiawah so, when you're ready for a little culture and education, travel to this amazing city and enjoy its stately homes, interesting museums, and beautiful waterfront.
Dining
There are plenty of options for dining without ever leaving the resort. An on-site General Store provides a place to stock up on necessities or foods like luncheon meats and cheeses.
Three casual dining spots offer everything from sandwiches to steaks while the resort's four-star restaurant provides a fine dining experience with a contemporary flare.
