Kiawah Island Golf Resort Review

Choose from one- to four-bedroom villas, three- to eight-bedroom private homes, or the Sanctuary at Kiawah Island, an amazing 255-room luxury waterfront hotel and spa that is one of the most prestigious resorts in the country yet is still kid-friendly. Its vast lobby is stunning, with walnut floors covered with hand-woven rugs and a wonderful collection of artworks. When a pianist plays in the lobby lounge, it is dreamlike. The West Indies theme is evident in the guest rooms; bedposts are carved with impressionistic pineapple patterns, and plantation-style ceilings with exposed planks are painted white. A top-rated steakhouse, the Ocean Room, has incredible architectural details, including wrought-iron gates and sculptures and a stained-glass dome. Along with the 10 miles of island beaches, recreational options include kayak and surfboard rental, nature tours, and arts-and-crafts classes.
