The Sanctuary at Kiawah Island

Kiawah's oceanfront grand hotel, and one of the Southeast's true luxury resorts — a sprawling low-country mansion of a building opening onto ten miles of quiet beach, with a spa, celebrated golf (the Ocean Course hosts majors), and service pitched at the highest level. It's remote by design, forty minutes from Charleston, and priced for a milestone. Come to be thoroughly spoiled somewhere genuinely beautiful.
