Think of great resorts around the world and South Carolina probably does not come to mind. While this was the correct perception years ago, today it is not. Spend a few nights at the Kiawah Island Golf Resort and you will know through and through why South Carolina is becoming a great destination.
The grand lobby inside of the resort is all that any proper southern parlor should be. Sconces illuminate the walls in ethereal light; straight backed silken chairs wait for tired bones; and a large fireplace blazes with warmth during those colder days. In short, it’s everything that a great mansion should be.
Although the grand lobby will take you back in time, the resort has a decidedly modern twist. The layout is elegant, but definitely modern with the individual units being comprised more of modern townhomes than one would expect at first glance when taking in the resort.
This odd twist of tastes actually works seamlessly even though it sounds as though it would not. This is probably a function of the fact it was build in 2004, a time during which special attention was paid to meshing the positive aspects of many styles. Of course, the inside of the resort is the real attraction.
And then we get to the spa. Oh, my. The resort has a top rated spa that is simply sinful. From wraps to massages to facials, the spa has a little of something for everyone. Not only will they get rid of your obvious problem points, they will get the subtle ones as well.
At the end of the day, it is time to just relax and take it all in. Oh, and get a bit to eat. The resort has a variety of restaurants in the Southern and French style. Seafood is a definite specialty, so give it a try.
There is no doubt that you will feel elevated, alive, and rejuvenated once your vacation is through, though you may not get a large helping of that southern flavor from this hotel. Those that solely focus upon spa and golf offerings will be thrilled at the location and selection, which is why most people travel to this spot.
Relax on the beach, unwind at the spa, and enjoy the time that you have at the Sanctuary. The world around you may begin to melt away as you bask in that southern sunshine, but that is alright. You are on vacation. Standard rooms at the Sanctuary begin at $400 USD per night.
