This is your resort. What if you were to invent your own private tropical resort?
Would you demand peace, quiet and privacy? Plenty of dining options? Endless
immaculate beaches? A nature preserve? Boundless activities? Superb accommodations
for one, or two, or everyone you know? On-demand on-island courtesy transportation?
Smooth access for your seagoing vessel? First class golf & tennis? Lush tropical
landscapes? Surf splashed days and breeze-kissed nights? A warm and devoted staff? We agree on all counts. Which is exactly why and how we have created Kiawah Island Resort for you. Very near to historic, culturally rich Charleston, South Carolina. An easy drive, rail trip or flight from where you live. And, by no coincidence, with everything you ever wanted in a tropical island resort. Romance. Why did National Geographic Traveler name our beach one of the two most romantic on the entire east coast? Perhaps it was the sensuous curves of the shoreline as it gently wraps itself around our island. Or the scent of jasmine wafting in from tropical gardens just beyond the gently sloping dunes. Or the exquisite shells that beckon by the trillions at each tides passing. Or the teasing whisper of sea oats in an evening's breeze. Or the gentle surf that kisses toetips, enticing even the tiniest beachcomber to dance unafraid in warm subtropical seas. Who can say? When you have walked on its ten uninterupted miles of immaculate sand, you have your own romantic seasons. Nature. The Kiawah tribe for whom this lush 10,000 acre barrier island is named, lived here in the 1600's. But what of the flora and fauna they found here among the beaches, lagoons and saltmarshes? The 197 species of birds, 30 species of reptiles and amphibians, and 18 species of mammals, which may have attracted those hunters and fisherman that remain today. As do forests of tall pines, palmetto palms, magnolias and live oaks. As a guest of this island you may hike, canoe, or bicycle through forest or marshes on your own, or as part of a wide array of programs and tours led professional naturalists. Your patience on an early morn may be rewarded by the sighting of a Greenback Heron, White Ibis, Wilson's Plover or Peregrine Falcon. Or you may sit on a quiet beach and let nature come to you, as dozens of Brown Pelicans fly in formation above and dolphins perform offshore. Leisure. What is your pleasure today? Why not indulge yourself in an on-island shopping spree? You need look no further than The Shops at the Kiawah Island Inn for hours of happy browsing and acquiring. Look for clothing and accessories at a number of shops including The Kiawah Shop and The Resort Shop. Shop for gifts, toys, food and souvenirs, jewelry and hundreds of other amusing and delightful items in these lovely shops at the Kiawah Island Inn. Pause for a snack or light meal along the way. But don't forget to exercise your right to shop in the Pro Shops you'll find at every Resort golf course and tennis complex. And be sure to submit to pampering at the salon and at the Kiawah Therapeutic Massage. Off Island, sample seasonal local produce and bakery, or peruse the neighboring antique peddlers. Tour the homes and gardens of historic Charleston. Float in or out of the marina. Or simply do as so many of our guests have done - sometimes for their entire visit. Think of all the things you don't have to do at all. Golf. At Kiawah Island Golf & Tennis Resort golfers tee up against the works of the masters of modern golf course architecture - Tom Fazio, Jack Nicklaus, Clyde Johnston, Gary Player and Pete Dye. Host of the 1991 Ryder Cup Matches and 1997 World Cup of Golf, the 7300 yard The Ocean Course offers the most challenging golf set along 2 ½ miles of Atlantic Ocean. Osprey Point offers water views from every hole, and its new club house encompasses over 14,000 square feet of pro shop and semi-private dining facilities. Oak Point is a Scottish-American style par-72 course, challenging to both novice and experienced golfer. Host to many tournaments including the 1990 PGA Cup Matches, Turtle Point features three spectacular ocean-front holes. And, the par-72 Cougar Point is our completely new course, designed to championship standards that will challenge every player. Tennis. Year after year, the tennis programs at Kiawah Island Resort, under the direction of Hall of Fame Tennis Pro Roy Barth, receive many of the sport's highest accolades - such as ranking among Tennis Magazine's Ten Greatest U.S. Tennis Resorts, and a best of America from Racquet. As a guest of the Resort, you are entitled to one hour of complimentsry court time per day at either of our two tennis complexes. The East Beach Tennis Club features fourteen clay (composition) and two lighted Har tru courts. The West Beach Tennis Club features nine clay (composition, one lighted) and three hard courts (one lighted), a zoned practice court with ball machine, and an automated retrieval system. Dining. For your dining pleasure, may we suggest the sumptuous Dining Room at Osprey Point? For more relaxed dining, the Atlantic Room at beautifully redesigned Kiawah Island Inn with its breathtaking ocean views serves superb regional cooking. Impressive views of the Atlantic Ocean can be enjoyed from the new Charleton Bar situated in the lobby at the Inn. Located within the Shops at the Inn is the West Beach Diner, a great casual place for tireless shoppers to unwind or families to relax and enjoy a variety of diner fare for lunch or dinner. Also perfect for families is the lively Village Bistro serving creative interpretations of American Cuisine at East Beach Village. For golfers, The Ocean Course Grill serves a seaside breakfast and lunch, or cocktails overlooking one of the world's best golf courses and the Atlantic Ocean. The Sundancer Bar & Grill oceanside at The Inn and the Pizzeria at Town Center ofer light menu items in a casual setting. Other resort dining traditions include The Lowcountry Oyster Roast and Barbecue, and the Sunday Champagne Buffet Brunch at the Atlantic Room. Should your lowcountry adventures carry you away from Kiawah island, our Concierge would be delighted to help you explore of-island dining options as well. Accommodations. Where will you choose to stay while at our AAA Four-Diamond tropical island resort? Perhaps you will select the newly refined The Kiawah Island Inn. Just steps away from restaurants, lounges and luxuries such as therapeutic massage, your room at the inn also puts you close to shopping, golf, tennis, beaches and a glittering oceanside swimming pool. To say nothing of room service. Your only challenge: deciding whether to overlook the Atlantic Ocean, the undulating dunes, or the lush tropical landscape. But you may prefer the additional privacy of one of the Villas of Kiawah Island Resort. Many of the villas of West Beach Village are so near to the Inn that guests walk to amenities including restaurants, The Shops shopping, a tennis center, a bike shop, Cougar Point Golf Course, and Beachwalker County Park. Your villa may overlook the fairways or the ocean. It may place you on an exotic lagoon, or adjascent to the tennis courts or a swimming pool. Some include such niceties as fireplaces and screened in porches. And all provide the privileges and preferred pricing offered to all of our Resort guests. |
