Just outside the charming, historical destination-city of Charleston, South Carolina, Kiawah Island Golf Resort boasts villa and condo
accomodations and world-class golf and tennis in a setting found nowhere else. For thousands of years, eagles, egrets and other natural residents of Kiawah have enjoyed its lush, semi-tropical environment, while remaining sheltered from the world. Today, Kiawah Island remains a haven for those who stay. However, the reasons for visiting have become more varied. From ten miles of romantic, unspoiled beach to 30 miles of paved, biking trails. From kayaking and canoeing adventures to alligator and birding walks. From oceanfront fine dining to riverside oyster roasts. Then there's the golf. Five championship courses, including the world-famous Ocean Course, host of the 1991 Ryder Cup Matches and the 1997 and 2003 World Cup of Golf. Your accomodations on this island may comprise a lavish private oceanfront home with private dock, miles of deck, and room for everyone. It may be a handsomely appointed villa mere steps from the first tee. A villa with breeze-kissed balcony from which the sounds of the sea provide a sensuous nightly serenade. Or perhaps a luxurious room or suite at The Sanctuary at Kiawah Island, the finest oceanfront hotel built on the East Coast in two decades.
Five Star Alliance Client Reviews - Kiawah Island Golf Resort
Guest, North Carolina. August, 2006
"Very pleasant get-away from the hustle and bustle. Beautiful homes and resort properties. The Kiawah Island Golf Resort Villas are very nice for a moderate cost. The Sanctuary was a special treat. Very nice grocery store on-Island... No need to bring in provisions. You've thought of everything! The beaches and landscaping are all well groomed; but the best part is the Golf Courses!"
Anne, Tennessee. March, 2006
"My husband and I were so pleased with our accommodations that we booked an extra night. The Sanctuary was kind enough to give us the extra night at your internet rate! We couldn't have had a better experience. The rooms at The Sanctuary are all truly beautiful. The view was amazing, the service was over-the-top, and the food was exquisite! The Ahi tuna my husband had at the Oceans Restaurant was one of the best dishes we've ever tasted. We'll return again!"
